Its still a very nice knife. I think that shield is my favorite. Have to find me one of those.This is the 2020 tang stamp, and the shield is new for 2020 as well.
I think the shield is exclusive to the white smooth bone offerings.
An incident with some leather dye that was on my hands has that 6208 half whittler looking like this now btw.
Those (and the mini) piqued my interest when I was shopping for my peanut. How do you like it?Case Stag 2 3/8" Tiny Trapper
I actually think it looks much better now honestly.
Very serendipitous, big improvement! Case should be so lucky.This is the 2020 tang stamp, and the shield is new for 2020 as well.

I have seen that shield on a few Case knives, i have a small sodbuster in pocket worn bone that has that shield. I just received this 1/2 whittler that is in burnt bone, similar to yours which i have liked since you first posted it, but mine is on purpose.This is the 2020 tang stamp, and the shield is new for 2020 as well.

Interested in what Ed thinks too. I like my peanut, wish it had a warncliff blade, but I think I’d find the tiny trapper too small. And I like small knives.
Interesting, I never saw the shield before the white smooth bone came out.
This is the small worn bone sodbuster i have, excuse the photo, not my best effort. I have had this for a few years, and i have seen this shield on a few Case knives on different websites from Case sellers.
Here's some more pics to add to the nostalgia Carl, I was lucky to find them in such nice condition
Big wave of nostalgia looking at those little beauties. Very popular in the late 0's-60's era.
Can't believe they could cram such great quality into such a small frame
