Great Coaches and Case XX Knives
It’s the Fall, and football is wrapping up and basketball is starting, so I thought Case Collectors might be interested in Case pocket knives commemorating great coaches. Here’s a table of “Coach” knives I have found so far. Bear Bryant is the winning football coach with 32 different knife variations from 1977 to 2007. Rich Pitino leads the basketball coaches with 23 Case commemorative knives. You can see all 82 of the knives and several hundred actual selling prices on KnifeDB.com. Go to the Advanced Knife Search page, click to expand “Special Collector Searches” and go to the “Coaches” dropdown to find your favorite.
