Ooh, l like the little blue one!  Do you know what pattern that is?
It's a Mini Copperhead, pattern 62109W. Unfortunately, I didn't make a note of the item number before I sent it off to Aloha.

What he said.  Its a wonderful little knife G.  I know you'd like it as we have somewhat similar tastes.  102109W is stamped on the small blade.  The kirinite is so gorgeous.

Dang it, I wasn't 100% right. 62019W would be bone or jigged Delrin. 102109W, of course, designates Kirinite or another man-made material that isn't Delrin. Thanks for the correction!

 :tu: From the main blade shape to the really nice covers to the size, this one ticks a lot if not all the boxes for me.  Carrying it again today.

I am struck with the thought that I don't really have a true Wharncliffe trad in my little collection.  I must admit I've not felt compelled to before now though.

This isn't one I'm carrying but I wanted to show it here.  I picked this up a very short while ago for obvious reasons I hope.  Its not a knife ready for the bin IMO.  The seller was more than reasonable as well tho I forget what I paid.  I was hoping to pay Case to replace the main blade OR I would try to find a blade for it. 

I sent Case a warranty/work order thru their site.  A couple days later they sent me a answer.  They said they were unable to replace the blade and offered me a $75 egift card.  Whoa.  Talk about customer service/loyaty or whatever you want to call it.  Yes I was bummed but I also have a back up plan so not terribly bummed. 

Its main blade is stamped

CASE XX
STAINLESS
USA

opposite side is

6347HP
SSP

The other two blades are in really good shape.  I'll take some time to clean it and take out the main blade to do some measuring.  I'm sure I'll find a suitable blade replacement.

Nice real pocket worn 47. The bone on those USA era Case knives is sweet. Its called pretty bone by many Case collectors. Shouldn't be to hard to get a replacement blade and have it installed.

I hope to find a nice replacement blade soon so I can carry this lovely knife.  Its so silky in hand and while you all know by now my photography is lacking the bone covers are beautiful.  PRETTY BONE is a great description.  Thank you David.

Nice project knife Mario, good luck on finding a blade to replace it. I'm surprised Case couldn't do it  :dunno:

I began this journey of traditional folders but for whatever reason it stalled. This thread always inspired me so I resumed my journey.  Its been such a fun part of the hobby and has taken over from my MT collecting.  Much like my MT collecting I buy/trade/luckily stumble upon the knives I have.  I have bought a couple new ones.  The Tribal lock and the Psalm 23 are two I did buy new.  A deal with FX expanded my Case collection for which I am very grateful. 

I'll have to think about which Case I got first.  That said the small amber bone trapper is one I got and carried everyday and really got me thinking about Case as a brand.  The fit and finish is excellent.  The bone is really done well and superb in hand.  I cannot find one thing I don't like about the knife. 

I did get a dud Psalm 23 trapper but the vender made it right and the one I have is awesome.  Its my most special since I got it when my son passed in 2020.  It was a item I felt I had to have when I randomly saw it online. 

I really enjoy the little ones.  The first little one is a Tadpole thanks to David letting me know.  I don't carry it but I'm happy to have it.  The blue kirinite is a big favorite and I carry it a lot since getting it.  The next one is also one I am carrying a lot.  The Tony Bose little gem I carried a lot as you can see the bone discolored.  I have since given it a rest after acquiring the two above it.  That last one is terrific and it is also a recent one.  It ticks so many boxes for me and went right into carry after a cleaning and sharpen. 

The right row has a stockman I got from FX and is my yard carry knife now.  Then theres the little trapper I got that made me rethink Case knives.  It was my work knife and still sees a lot of carry time.  The one I just posted is my newest find.  It'll need to be fixed then right into the pocket it goes.  The yellow copper lock is my new work carry knife.  I've got a thing for the copper head pattern.  The next two I also got from FX.  I love the blue on those covers more than I can tell you.  The last and not least is my beloved Psalm 23.  Its starting to get a nice patina since I carry it everyday when I'm off.  The two sod busters dont see as much carry time as I'd like but they are both terrific knives.   

I have other trads but Case is fast becoming my brand.  Thanks for looking and thank you for keeping this thread so lively.

I'm not terribly bummed but I was surprised.  Looking forward to fixing it and getting it into my pocket.  Its way to nice to leave as is.
