2007 CASE XX 6.5 BONESTAG MINI MUSKRAT – ITEM #06684 – FIRST YEAR – ORIGINAL BOX
Offered for sale is a beautiful and collectible 2007 W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. Case XX Mini Muskrat, Item No. 06684, featuring desirable 6.5 BoneStag genuine bone handles, two mirror-polished stainless-steel blades and the original Case factory box.
This is especially interesting to Case collectors because 2007 was the introductory year for the Mini Muskrat pattern according to historical Case collector material.
The original factory box label identifies this knife as:
Item No.: 06684
Pattern: Mini Muskrat
Handle: 6.5 BoneStag
Date: 08/05/07
UPC: 021205066844
The Mini Muskrat is a compact version of the traditional Muskrat pocketknife pattern, using two long, slender blades positioned at opposite ends of the handle.
Published specifications for the Case 6.5 BoneStag Mini Muskrat identify the pattern at approximately 3-5/8 inches closed.
6.5 BoneStag Handles
One of the biggest selling points is the gorgeous Case 6.5 BoneStag handle treatment.
Case BoneStag uses genuine bone that is specially worked to create the appearance and character traditionally associated with natural stag. Your example has particularly attractive variation, with creamy ivory/honey areas transitioning into amber and dark brown jigged areas.
Because genuine bone varies naturally, each set of scales develops its own coloration and character.
The knife is finished with the traditional oval CASE XX shield, polished bolsters, brass-colored liners and pinned construction.
Two-Blade Mini Muskrat Pattern
The Mini Muskrat features two long, narrow plain-edge blades, with one opening from each end of the knife.
The long, slim Muskrat blade profile is a defining feature of the pattern. Case enthusiasts particularly appreciate the Muskrat design for its thin cutting geometry; traditional Muskrats are known for carrying two similar long, slender blades.
The blades on this example appear to retain a beautiful highly polished factory finish.
