  I started collecting case knives (and other traditional types) years ago. At the time, I did not care too much for modern folding knives. I thought they were ugly, looked too much like weapons, or were just too "tacticool!". I have grown to appreciate them a lot over time, but they still do not compare to the older style as far as looks go. The variety of patterns, colors, handle or scale types, made them works of art in some ways. I can also take them out in public, or at work, and not be too concerned about scaring somebody to death when I went to use it!   :rofl:

My collection is slowly growing.  This yellow Mini Trapper rides with me quite a bit.

Not to put too fine a point on the Vmans post but it's not an explanation of the XX but instead about the "Select" series.

http://www.authorizedknifedealeroutlet.com/select.html


The XX is used on many different Case knives and is not a designation of the "Select " series.

The top photo illustrates the many ways in which Case uses the  XX designation but they are not part of the Select series of knives.

The bottom picture is a model belonging to the Select series.

Yeah, don't get too excited, it's just black composite... Still, it looks good on it though.  :tu:

MyCases" border="0

      These are my Case knives. I used to have more, but like an idiot, sold them years back for almost nothing. Anyhow, the two trappers to the right mean a lot to me. The older one on the upper right belonged to my grandfather on my dad's side of the family. When we were kids, we would visit my dad's mom (who we used to call Grandma up the hill due to the steep hill my dad had to drive up to get to her house!  :P) in Pittston, PA. One day I found this knife and my grandmother let me have it. My grandfather was gone at this point. Looking back, I am surprised my parents let me have it since I was pretty young at the time, maybe 6 or 7, but I am just guessing. I am 59 now and that was a long time ago. For years the knife was missing then one day I found it at the bottom of one of my tool boxes. I quickly grabbed it and put it in a box for safe keeping. It is not in great condition. My grandfather must have used the daylights out of it, but it has a lot of sentimental value. He died pretty young and I do not remember him very well. Evidently, his taste in knives must have rubbed off on my dad! The trapper in the lower right was his. He passed away in 1988 and I think this knife was purchased sometime in the early 80's. I think my grandfather's knife is form the 1940's. The rest are just the remains of my collection!     

Sorry, just saw your post now - what an excellent story... and you've got some marvelous knives there!  :like:

I like that single blade easy-open Trapper.

Saddelehorns are nice,there just a little too small for my tastes.

Congrats.

Thanks RR.  That was done on bone handles.

This was done on synthetic handles but the worked bolsters and engraved blades make it special.

Here is another created by the same guy.

I was fortunate and only paid a little more than a standard Case Trapper.
