Nice.
I was out moving my already split wood yesterday.
Still have a few trees to break down though.
The baler is on the tractor atm so no more wood splitting until the hay is in the shed.
Wood and hay ain't that much fun but it has to be done...

When I saw that Case was offering one of my favorite patterns in one of my favorite handle materials, I knew I would have to pick up one (or several).

Case apparently designed this family for the outdoorsman, and they made multiple good (and a few questionable) decisions to that end…


Pros:

- Durable G10 scales

- Bright red color makes it stand out if dropped in most environments

- Nickel silver pins and liners (and bolsters) provide superior corrosion resistance to the more commonly used brass

- highly polished blades provide better resistance to corrosion than a matte or as-ground finish

- price point of $50 - $60 is in line with competition such as Buck 301 and 303


Improvement Opportunities:

- Case says that the handles are shaped by hand for a comfortable grip.  However, corners of the scales are inexplicably left at a sharp ninety degrees.  These should have been contoured, or at least rounded off.

- I’ll be the first to stay that I don’t like really aggressively textured handles.  They are uncomfortable in hand and hard on clothing.  However, smooth polished G10 (like these scales) can be a bit slick.  Some light to moderate jigging or other texturing would improve the grip and also make the scales more tactilely interesting.

- Case’s basic stainless steel is ok, but I would appreciate, say, a 154CM option if it could be accomplished for 2 or 2.5 times the price.


Overall, if you’re on the hunt for a traditional pattern, but built with modern materials to be a real user that you won’t have to baby, this red G10 line is worth a look.

Went to the farmer's market today. But it was kind of cold so I stayed with the kid in the car while the wife was shopping. Not that I was eager to bump in all kinds of smurfheads on the market anyway, going to such places always puts me on edge  :D So I got bored in the car (baby fell asleep) and played around with some photos.

I like it!  Maybe a bit of fine wire wool might take the corners off the scales without altering the overall look.

This is a Case 6265 made between the years of 1965-1969.It took me a few years to locate this model in good condition.

The difference in the shape of the front bolster defines this as being manufactured during those years.

The photo below illustrates the shape of a 1972 production of the same model.

Can't believe I didn't answer you David  :facepalm:.  Smooth antique bone is what Case calls the Tribal lock covers but they don't give a color.  I'd say it reminds me of butter scotch  :dunno:.   

Aloha really like that Tribal Lock!     :tu:    What is the color of the smooth bone covers?

This is Case 6165-L.

This means it's a Hunter style,single blade knife,which has a back lock.

I don't know if Case made these to compete with Buck's 110 Hunter but you could reasonable assume this may be correct.

That's a good question David but I'm not sure of the correct answer.

I'll take a guess and say 1977-1989 but I'm not certain.

I'll see if I can find out for sure.

I have four of these with one MIA.
