Some really great knives being posted here.I notice that the majority of the posts are of newer Case knives so I thought in all fairness I would post up some of the older models I have accumulated over the years.Some are fixed blade and some are folding knives and many of them come with a story. I have recently starting working on my book about my accumulating knives and the stories of how they came to me again and hope to finish it by the end of the year.
I first posted in this thread when it first started and just showed a picture of the drawer most of my Case knives are in so today I thought I would post some individual pictures. Hope you enjoy them.
#1 is a pair of 304 throwing knives with their sheath.These are the large size.Background on all pictures is one inch(25.4mm)squares for reference.
#2 is a Tested XX 3172 folding hunter.The celluloid handles are warped badly but not out-gassing.
#3 is a Tested(I think;the stamp is illegible)5165 that was submerged in water for a long time.Took me a week of soaking in Marvel Mystery Oil to free it.Cleaned up it took a great edge.Only one I have ever seen with a factory installed bail.
#4 An XX Bulldog 5172 with beautifully aged stag handles.
Nice ones  :tu:

I have carried knives in my back pocket for years and never lost one yet, however, I carry them vertically in the pocket next to my wallet or I have a couple of other knives in pouches vertically next to them so that they are not loose in my back pocket. :D

For example right now I have a Swisstool Spirit and a SwissChamp in pouches vertically in my left back pocket and the black Case Trapper is sitting vertically next to them, and I have a Case Carhartt Large Stockman vertically next to my wallet in my right back pocket.

Thanks to all who replied to my posts. The Granddaddy Barlow(6143) was modified slightly by me to facilitate opening as the spring is very strong in it and my fingernails weren't up to the task. Since that time I have started using a hand made knife opener made from an old broken knife blade.
Here is one other very rare Case Tested XX letter opener.I have never seen another like it or found a listing as to the model number. Although Case made several letter opener knives they all had the standard equal end handles rather than a trapezoid shaped(coffin)handle and they all had spear point blades rather than the spey blade that this one has.

Here are two of my "knife openers".Both of them had broken blades so I re-purposed them.The Remington also works nicely as a watch case opener. Note the Camillus tip is ground on a taper and fits most nail nicks nicely.When I am shopping for knives I usually carry the Remington as the blade folds up whereas the stub on the Camillus although it still folds isn't easily opened.
