Was interested in getting one of these and was wondering if anyone has one and how they like it?

Sadly no, but I bet 2xTap does.

Sean, I had one awhile ago and I sold it. It's a great knife and I highly recommend it. I'll probably buy another one at some point.

thanks guy's. Too bad I wasn't faster on the draw I might have been able to buy that one off you.

I've lusted after one for years

But there just too expensive over here, and with the weak pound, there still pricy overseas

How did you know!

Sean, I own a few. Here some in my collection..............

..........I got some more but ain't got pics of all of them yet. They are a excellent Whittler and the most popular Whittler pattern from Case. One of my favorite Wharncliffe bladed slips. Must haves if you are into Whittler patterns. But I suggest you look on Ebay or over at http://www.soonerstateknives.com/caseknives.htm for better prices on the Seahorsies!

I would have replied sooner but was at work and didn't check until this morning. Wow!! 2/Tap what a nice collection of Seahorses. I really want one now. Those are beaut's. Thanks for the picture.

Spork,

I like ur 'ho's too.

Spork,

SeaHo's.........

You gotta warn people before you do that, I was sipping coffee when I read that. Damn near covered my keyboard in it!

Sean,

Case has made these Seahorsies in numerous handle materials, some long discontinued but can still be found NIB. If you are interested in one take the time to look around and find what you want, and try to get the best deal. Some places tend to charge too much for them as this pattern is highly collected. Bargain shop......most of the bone handled versions can be found in the $40-$50 range.

Tap, have you ever EDCed one of your Seahorses? I'm not sure how practical it would be as I am not sure of it's size compared to.... uhm..... let's say a Canoe?

Sean · **Reply #14 on:** August 30, 2009, 02:55:22 AM

they are a crazy price up here in Canada. One fella back East has some starting at $129 for the economy model with the orange scales.

No I haven't. But I can tell you they are very pocketable. They are slender, and only 4" in the closed position.

Here's a pic below that might give you some size reference. Took this one a while back of a group of slips I bought at once.............

The two in the upper right corner are Seahorsies (there's one in there I forgot I had a pic of...Barbwire Bone!), all the way to the left is a fullsize Case Canoe in Red Pocketworn Bone. In the lower center is a Case Large Stockman at 4 1/4" frame size and right below the Seahorsies is a Case Wharncliffe Copperlock which is also 4 1/4" in the closed position. In between the Canoe and Seahorsies in the upper center is a Henckels Copperhead which is 3 3/4".

Hope that helps.

Beautiful

Something else for THE LIST

Sean · **Reply #18 on:** August 30, 2009, 04:06:29 PM

Well, they are just beautiful and I am going to have to try and locate one. Case knives up here are a bit scarce. I have a double bladed yellow trapper but that's it.
Will have a look online and see if I can get buy one and get it shipped relatively cheap. I will check the 'bay.
Thanks for the response guys!

Let me know if anyone has one they want to sell or perhaps trade.

Bit pricy though

Sean · **Reply #20 on:** August 30, 2009, 10:17:02 PM

yeah I know I'm not going to find one under $100 up this way though.

Sean,

Check out Sooner State Knives.........http://www.soonerstateknives.com/index.html. He has a huge selection of Case Knives, tons of Seahorsies, and good prices too.

Ken ships International, uses USPS International Priority Mail.....the flat rate for packages under 4 pounds is only $10.95 to Canada.

I've been buying knives from him for quite a few years now without a problem.
