Let’s say you are a Case XX peanut collector (but only for the year range from 2001 to 2005).   And you are also a member of KnifeDB.com.  Then you know that if you use 2001 as the start year on the  search, and 2005 as the ending year, along with 3220 as the model number […]

I don’t think a Case XX knife collector can do this anywhere but KnifeDB.com Suppose for a moment that you just bought your first CASE knife with a silver script shield.  It’s a beauty, and you decide to try to add more to  your collection.  But how many are there, when were they made, and […]

Here are some current database numbers FYI. Pocket Knife Variations     29,291 Actual Knife Selling Prices    62,242 Sets documented    355 Boxes      1,746

The true value of a Case pocket knife is very important to a Case XX collector.  How much should I pay for a knife or how much is this knife really worth when I sell it?  We believe that KnifeDB.com gives the collector the most accurate estimates  of prices. Here’s how. First, the  prices added […]

Seven 2016 sets are currently documented in KnifeDB.com.  I consider my work done when I have at least 1 actual price for the whole set and at least one price on each knife when the set is broken and the individuals are sold separately.  Also, if there is a set COA, then each knife and […]

KnifeDB currently has images of 22 COA’s attached to 2016 Case xx pocket knives.  (And a whole bunch of COA’s for other years!).  FYI, if a certificate lists multiple knives, then I try to attach a copy of the COA to each of the knives listed.   Many of the sets are broken and the knives […]

After more than 1,000 hours of work, I am proud to say that the 2016 Case xx pocket knife documentation is in pretty good shape.   While there may be a few I missed, there are currently  903 pocket knives with 2016 tang dates.  289 of these beauties has at least one actual selling price, while […]

I wanted to see the impact of  AI on  KnifeDB.com.  After all, if you can just tell AI to find a price for any specific Case pocket knife, then there is no sense in my continuing to add knives and prices while attempting to make a powerful price guide for collectors.  I first asked how […]

I currently have documented 84  Case xx pocket knives commemorating the Harley Davidson Motorcycle company.  The first is a 3240 with gold tone shield from 1989.   1993 was the 90th anniversary +of the motorcycle company and several variations were made for the 90th.  Interestingly  there is a trapper with a 1998 tang stamp date and […]

A Case XX Collector finds a knife with a shield like the one in Figure 1.  He decides to try to find out as much as possible about this shield on KnifeDB.   He has used this resource many times and it has always helped him. He goes to the “knife Search” page and clicks the […]
