THIS 2 5/8 INCH PIECE IS A SMALL SENATOR AND IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS AN EQUAL END PENKNIFE. THE 01 PATTERN DATES BACK TO THE CASE BROTHERS ERA OF 1896-1915, BUT WAS DISCONTINUED DURING THE MIDDLE 1970s. IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REINTRODUCED ALONG WITH A BAIL AS PART OF THE GENTLEMANS LINE DURING 1979 BUT ONCE AGAIN DISCONTINUED IN 1982. NINE YEARS LATER, AND DESCRIBED AS NEW IN THE 1991 CASE CATALOG, IT WAS ONCE AGAIN PRODUCED, THIS TIME WITH DELRIN HANDLES. THIS KNIFE, AS DESCRIBED BELOW, IS A 1980 (10 DOT) MOTHER OF PEARL.

THIS LITTLE BEAUTY HAS NEVER BEEN USED OR SHARPENED, IT WORKS PERFECTLY, AND REMAINS IN MINT CONDITION. SNAPPY WOBBLE FREE BLADES AND PERFECT FIERY MOTHER OF PEARL HANDLES MAKE THIS A VERY DESIRABLE COLLECTIBLE. DUE TO MOTHER OF PEARL BEING HARD TO WORK WITH AND IT BECOMING MORE EXPENSIVE THIS KNIFE SHOULD RISE IN VALUE. NO COLLECTION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A SENATOR AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO OWN ONE, WHY NOT OWN ONE OF THE BEST.
