The folks at Christy have to be wondering why all these recent sales  :D.

I can only hope it helps out. I have a fear that the Christy will go the way of the old VW bug. Phased out by more modern and so called 'better' designs. I had a couple of the old bugs, and while they were made, wouldn't drive anything else. But time marches on, and now I'm in a Toyota Corolla and it is a good car. But ti doesn't have that certain "something" that my old Beatle did.

I can carry a Gerber LST or Buck mini buck, and have a great little lightweight knife. But it won't be as handy as the Christy or have the unique personality of the Christy. I really, REALY do love the three position blade locks.

Its like if Ihad a choice of buying a new Toyota Corolla or a new VW bug made just like the old VW bug at a higher price, I'd buy the more expensive bug in a heart beat. The Christy is a bit of living history in your hand.

I found these 3 Christy knife ads and printed them out on my computer and then I mounted them on cardboard backing and covered them with clear packing tape to protect them.

The middle one is from 1937 and the last one is from 1939

I've noticed on the earlier Christy's I have all have a single bevel ground blade or chisel grind. Also if you look very close you'll see a small number seven between Fremont 7 Ohio.

What sets it apart from the others? The material it's made of?

Oh, right. I saw the ads more closely and they mention the Sport. I payed more attention to the first pic, with the new names and materials listed.

Wow, I've never seen the old box like that. Very cool!

As much as.I love my Christy's, you guys are coming up with oldy collectable stuff I've either forgot existed or never saw. It really brings our how much a historical little knife it is. Now, I can only wonder if anyone has the old U.S. navy or Army paperwork for it from WW2? :dunno:

The box just fits the Christy knife. It is smaller in person than  I expected...it is a cute little box. :D

The Christy is definitely a piece of history. It would be cool to see any paperwork from WWII.
