With that being said...there are some observations I have in relation to the current spread of Case Knives:
1. For the majority of their line up, doesn't it seem like there is a preponderance of "dainty" knives? There are a few beefy blades (Trapper, the new release of Barlows, large Stockman etc etc) but it seems that much of their line is smaller knives. I suppose for collectors and those seeking a non intimidating "gentleman's" knife, that is where the profit lies. Like I said, just an observation.
2. I feel that the blades are a bit overpolished. The corners, grind lines etc, look a bit too rounded. Conversely, the Bose line has some really sharp grind lines. I know it is due to a different line of steel and blade making techniques...I jus think the sharper angles look professional.
3. Handle material - this is a good observation...going to the Case Outlet, and seeing the line up of handle materials is dangerous to my bank account. I applaud Case on the materials they use.
Here is my meager collection of Case Knives BTW. Please feel free to snap some pictures of yours!

Let me start by saying, I LOVE Case Knives. There is a nostalgia that I feel with Case Knives, and the multitude of patterns and handle materials appeals to me. I like to visit the Case Outlet in Branson Missouri...it is the ultimate candy store for me. Yeah, my number one knife choice is, and always will be, SAKs, but I also have a decent amount of Case Knives as well.Are you sure its not an addiction! :rofl:

I've focused my interests on just a few models,primarily the model 54 Trapper and the 65 Folding Hunter.
Post by: AimlessWanderer on September 07, 2019, 02:53:22 AM
They are a good brand for collectors, with a wide range of patterns and scale variations, but are very good in use too. One of the Barlows I own, was carried exclusively for about a year. Takes a decent edge, and steels back easily too, and so very rarely needed to see abrasives to keep it in fine fettle.

I'd take a Seahorse Whittler any day of the week. Though I really like the #75 pattern to EDC.

What is your experience with the factory edge on their blades? I find them a bit rough/toothy.
Lovely collection btw :like:

Definitely a bit rough. I am one knife enthusiast that really never thinks too much of a factory edge. Regardless of how sharp, dull or rough it might be, I immediately put my own edge on it. However, it is noteworthy that the factory edge often correlates to the care and quality of manufacture.
BtW - I also really like the Wharncliffe trappers. I have a single blade mini-Trapper (the EZ open model with a cut out in the handle for better blade grip) with a Wharny blade that I love!
Post by: toolguy on September 07, 2019, 08:00:43 PM
Big Case fan here, particularly of the Trappers. I have a few of them, but my son, Noah, has a pretty decent collection! I'm a Pennsylvania native, and we usually make it to the factory museum/store at least once a year.
You're fortunate that you have the opportunity to visit the Case factory.
I'm also fortunate in being able to collect the knives I like.I just inventoried the Case Trappers and the collection consists of 3 Copperhead Trappers,one 5 blade ,two 3 blade,one single blade Trapper and one Panama Trapper.The balance of the collection consists of 68 two blade model 54 Trappers.

I sometimes put on a new edge as well, like on the Sodbuster which wasn't even symmetrical.
I wish it would be easier (and cheaper) to get hold of them Cases over here :D

The last Case knife I bought new was a Shark Tooth when they first came out in the 1980's. I have purchased quite a few Case knives since then but they have all been older models. I don't collect knives by brand but whatever suits me at any particular time.

That's exactly what put me off them for years. It was only when Nix sent me the Texas Jack that I really appreciated them for what they are - good American made working knives with decent fit n finish and a great history and heritage.
Recently, I've been looking at vintage ones, especially 60s, 70s ones - they really do it for me, they seem to have just the right balance of form and function and they're reasonably easy to pick up in good condition... I may have bought a few. :facepalm:

I was looking to pick another Rough Rider Barlow as shared in the Trad Challenge. Maybe to forward onto Ireland as a member there liked it.
This time not as much stock, a fe old sheaths, some high priced Case models and this greased scale Case. I think he thought it to be lower in synthetic.
Just lucky for me.

I enjoy Case knives and have quite a few. Particular favorites including the stockman, large stockman, and folding hunter patterns. These knives in SS with G-10, canvas laminate, or similar handle materials are probably about as close to bomb-proof as slip joints get.
They just can't seem to displace a SAK in my pocket, though. The SAK's complement of other tools in addition to blades is just too darn handy.

I like to HD models also spudley but most sellers ask too much money.I found this one for a fair price.
My HD Mini Trapper has that scroll work on the bolster as well. I love it...it looks classy.

Thanks toolguy! With all our input, this could be a great source for people! I appreciate any input, history or other details anyone would like to share. One of the cool things about case knives is their identification makes it easier to date them.

I like the bottom knife.Is that a Copperhead?
I like the main blade on second from bottom Case as well. Is that a Peanut ?
I can't read the model numbers.My eyesight isn't as good was it was years ago.LOL

The orange one is a Half Whittler and yes the bottom one is an easy open Copperhead with a wharncliffe main . I'm kinda of liking that one as well.
That main blade on your Whittler reminds me of the Select series of Case knives? Maybe it's a Select Half Whittler?
I don't have any Copperheads but I do own three Copperhead Trappers.
Post by: Greg Jones on September 11, 2019, 10:46:02 PM
Although I was aware of Case Knives, it wasn't until participating in the recent Traditional Challenge that I had to have one in particular, the Yellow Trapper that appears as my profile photo
It won't be my last :cheers:

I gave the whittler a potassium permanganate treatment and it looks so much better IMO.

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!

Here is info on the Case Knife Select Series
Case XX Select Series Knives
Case XX Select knives are an elite class of Case knives, fashioned not through modern means of mass production, but by the time-honored hand-crafting of skilled American artisans - for no machine has yet been devised that compares to the workmanship of our own master cutlers. Journeyman artisans carefully offset-grind and swedge every blade, give each an extra hand-polishing, and hone it by hand to a razor-sharp edge.
Everything about a Case XX Select knife says “premium quality.” Case XX Select blades are crafted from our highest grade Tru-Sharp surgical steel; double-tested by our own hardening and tempering processes, then stamped with a unique mark reserved only for Case XX Select knives. Liners, bolsters, and pins are fashioned from the highest quality brass and nickel-silver. Each of these components is polished by hand to a luster that’s unmatched by any other manufacturer. All Case XX Select handles are formed from the most coveted materials, such as genuine Abalone, Elk Horn, and exotic hardwoods. The completed knives receive the signature “Case XX Select” artwork on the main blades before receiving an extra hand-polishing. Some Case XX Select knives may sport French or common nail marks or special embellishments like worked backsprings or blades.
Case introduced its Case XX Select series back in 1998. The program’s mission is to create knives which could be considered showpieces for collectors; knives which stand out as exceptional samples of Case hand-crafting. Now, more than a decade later, Case continues to push the envelope to create the perfect knife for every enthusiast through its Case XX Select program.

Thats what I'm afraid of :gimme:. At some point I will pick up something. There are so many patterns and thankfully I cannot figure out which I like best. Unlike SAKs traditionalsaren't a rabbit hole I want to go down.I understand. I am the same way with the Gerber and Leatherman tools. If I were still working HVAC maintenance I would have a ton of them. The spares I did have, I have gifted away. I now have one of each and thats it.

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.

Here are 2 Case Mooses that I picked up at a Gun and Knife Show a few years ago. I bought one and liked it so well that when the dealer returned the next month I bought his other one. They have G10 handles and As-Ground blades which I like for a user because they do not show scratches as easily as a polished blade.Those are nice! :like: :tu:

They have G10 handles and As-Ground blades which I like for a user because they do not show scratches as easily as a polished blade.

Interestingly and somewhat unusually, the plural of moose is moose. So, one moose, two moose, three moose, etc.

I like all vets. I have been around the world and have met military personnel from lots of places. There are some great people out there protecting their country.
When I was in the Marine Corps, we did shooting competitions, training ops, and sometimes just fun stuff like playing soccer and hanging out together. It was great to connect like that.

In 2013 Case Knives and Carhartt both were celebrating 124 years in business so they got together to produce the Case Carhartt knives for the anniversary.

That's an astute observation but it's only partially correct.It has only one nail nick.
Here is the reason for the opposite side nail nick.

This is the Case Eagle Dancer Trapper to which I alluded in an earlier post.

Here are 3 Slimline Trappers. The yellow one was a gift to me, but it is out of Chrome Vanadium and after carrying it for a week in really humid weather it started to get spots of rust on the blade, so I cleaned them off and then forced a patina on the blade using vinegar and have not had any more problems with rust spots.That patina looks great on that blade! Great save. :2tu:

The top one is from the Pocket Worn Series. The handle scales are polished at the factory to give it the smooth feel of a knife that has been carried for years.
The bottom 2 have G10 handles. The brown one is rough G10 and the black one is smooth G10. I like the feel of the rough G10 the best when using.

The handles are Delrin and the blades are As-ground, so these are great every day users. The handles are durable and the blades don't show scratches as much as polished blades do.

Ever since I was a kid I have always liked the yellow handled Cases. They were originally made to make it easy to find your knife if you are outside and drop it on the ground.
Here are a Yellow handled Trapper and Large Stockman along with a black G10 Trapper.

Thank you for sharing.
You make me feel guilty, that I have one Case Trapper, and that it has no other Case cousins to be compared with.
Were you also a dealer for Case, along with Victorinox?

Vicman, you have a great section of traditional Case pocket knives.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you LoopCutter! :cheers:
The Case Trapper is an excellent EDC. :D
I was a Victorinox dealer from 1984 to 2000 and a Spyderco dealer when Spyderco's line consisted only of 100% stainless models out of GIN-1 steel.
I just happen to be a fan of Case knives. They are great users. I used to go to a lot of Gun and Knife Shows.
Any particular knife model that I like I have multiples of.

The Fisherman's knife is special to me. I bought it new in the late 1960's.
When I was growing up I watched my dad use his Case Fisherman to clean fish and I had wanted one for years. The only difference between the older Case Fisherman that he had and mine was that the fish hook sharpening stone in the handle of his was rectangular shaped instead of rounded on the ends.

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.

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.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.

Very nice...is that a Grandfather Barlow? Looks great :cheers: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.

They are pretty quick!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.

I've been fortunate to have collected three.This is the most colorful of the group.
If you compare it to 54 series trapper,my favorite,you'll see the blade grinds are different.
There is also a difference in length.The 54 series is 4 1/8" long and the 6249 is 3 7/8" long.So there is only 1/4" difference between the two.

:iagree:.I've never seen one like that. That front bolster looks like it's from a Canoe pattern. How long ago did they make it?This has the same model number as the Copperhead 6249.It's a mystery to me why they didn't initiate a different model number for the Copperhead Trapper.The front bolster of the Copperhead was designed to cover the end of the blade,where it makes contact with the backspring,so it wouldn't catch on the pocket when the blades are closed
I've done some cursory searches and have not turned up any definitive dates of time of manufacture.The red bone shown and another natural bone I own,have the same date 1997.I have another in natural bone with a different Case logo,that is marked CS6249 and the date is stamped in Roman numerals MCMXCIII [1993]. I still haven't discovered what the prefix letters CS mean.
I'll continue to search and report back.

From what I have put together and I was thinking this was a first year, could very well be wrong! Seems ‘87 and ‘88 have the XX Changer on the back of the blade.
Those same years have a elliptical circle around the “Case”.
The ‘89 models are the same as the newer models on the tang stampings locations and the “Case” location.
Have called Case to ask the first year of production. Missed there returned call. :facepalm:

Do all of your blades have 3 dots?Yes, all the blades have 3 dots. The fillet blade has a light strike on it but it is 3 dot also.
I could only make out 2 dots.

When I was trying to find one, I noticed the same thing on the saw blades!

Folding Hunter and Large Stockman in black canvas laminate are my latest two. The combination of the black handles and the mirror-polished blades looks really sharp. I'm sure they would prove durable as well, if I can bring myself to use either of them...I just got done watching a video with the Case owner...and he says that people come to the booth at the shows and tell him they don’t want to use there Case knives, he tells them they have his permission to use them! :rofl:

Ergo-wise, how does the XX Changer feel in hand? How does it compare to a Buck 110?
I saw some on ebay. The amber bone looks good...also, there is a zytel light weight model. Hmmmm

Looking good. :like: I find that if you occasionally wipe a bit of oil over the blade, the patina builds up more evenly. Also (I think) helps to prevent pitting.

The silver Kirinite are the most spectacular handles in the Kirinite series.
Do the scales feel slick in the hand? They look so nice and tempting, but I worry about how smooth they look and not being able to keep a good grip.
Some owners claim they have a sticky feel to them.My opinion,for what it's worth,is they are no better or worse than any smooth handle material whether they're smooth bone or a synthetic such as Delrin.

I've never done a patina by food before.... Is it normal to have a somewhat heavy taste of iron in your apple slices? I'm not leaving the knife in, just straight cuts.
I MAY not have gotten all the wax off, and I am somewhat stuffy and congested, so my sense of taste is skewed. But I could've swore I was tasting iron.

Then again, I didn’t realize there were so many different types of apples! Over 7,500 world wide, 2,500 in the United States of which 100 are for market. Thats a lot of apples!

I did pick up a 2019 Catalog and red Case towel. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191012/a308712fd89531ff97b0fcd16b1eb8c6.jpg)
On the discontinued table there were lots of knives, a Grey Moose, Black/Purple Sod Buster Jr and others I would have wanted.
But, I did pick two and had the funds to acquire.
A Crimson Trapper(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191012/66f28c53fbb8f0e94493f72c2c595175.jpg)
And, a bucket list style, a Muskrat pattern with blue scales. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191012/14e50f9a09ccb424b24f355a9e9f6379.jpg)
Met several nice collectors hovering over the discontinued table, all veterans, Korean or Vietnam era. Each very knowledgeable of Case knives.

This Sod Buster is a 4 dot which makes it made in 1976. It was unused and still had the factory edge. It oozes with the Case old school quality. Which I find odd for a Sod Buster. I've come to like this knife very much already.The Sod Buster is on my list to get! :cheers:

This is 1 of only 25 in this configuration, 6254 Trapper, made for this special promotion.
The factory made a special effort for this production as illustrated by the finish of the back springs.I didn't have to remove and residual machine marks,as I do with most of the Case knives.I did remove some minor handling marks from this 14 year old knife.
On the front scale is a chopper done on natural bone,while the back scale is left plain.

I'm not really sure of dealers cost.
The flyer, the owner sent along with this Trapper,indicated the Case knives had prices between $70.00 and $75.00.Remember though this was 14 years ago.
I don't mind telling our members what I paid for this particular knife.This is not to boast about the deal but to inform.I can never understand,on other sites,where the sellers remove the sale price after the knife is sold.In my mind,this practice doesn't allow other members to understand the value of specific knives.

I'm not really sure of dealers cost.Very nice! Too pretty for me to use, so I probably wouldn't have purchased it. But that's cheaper than a new trapper many places today!
The flyer, the owner sent along with this Trapper,indicated the Case knives had prices between $70.00 and $75.00.Remember though this was 14 years ago.
I don't mind telling our members what I paid for this particular knife.This is not to boast about the deal but to inform.I can never understand,on other sites,where the sellers remove the sale price after the knife is sold.In my mind,this practice doesn't allow other members to understand the value of specific knives.
The seller wanted $50.00 so I offered a reasonable $40.00 to which the seller agreed.
I don't recall how the US dollar was valued at that time (was too young to care about money, unless it was for a candy machine).

I'm really eager to pick up a jack or Barlow. I like the two blade configuration, and want something slightly smaller. A peanut is a bit too small.

It's difficult to tell some models without the blades being displayed.
I like the grind on the main blade of your Case Jack Knife.
I assume the GEC has an ebony handle.
Congrats.

This is a Case 54 Trapper which I've had for a few months.I just got out of the shop and it turned out well.
This a ginger-ale color,a winter bottom pattern,done on bone with the bomb shield..

Yep, Zippo bought them, and appears to changed marketing plan toward the collectors. Still nice and pretty pocket knives.

This is Case Trapper with Sambar Stag handles that I bought last year.The seller advertised it as having SS blades.I was just starting to collect Case and didn't pay attention to the stamping on the base of the blade.In any event the seller asked for offers so I made one that I thought was fair.After a few exchanges of offers,I made the purchase.When it arrived I discovered it didn't have SS blades but it was such a nice knife and NIB,that I did not make an issue of his misrepresentation and decided to keep it.That Stag is very nice looking...putting that logo in the middle would have killed its look! :cheers:

Interesting.I only have three, yet newer models. It is my impression that more knives of the newer vintage are made with Surgical Steel as described or with Stainless Steel.

Older models had higher carbon types steels to be easier to maintain sharpness. Just MHOp.

Thanks brother.
I just made a deal for a few more Case Select Trappers.Just a reminder what constitutes a Select Trapper.Firstly all of the liners and scale pins are nickel silver instead of brass.Most importantly the main clip point blade is a different profile with a long pull.

I just received a NIB NKCA three blade Case Trapper.Someone just released about 6 of these and they made their way to ebay.There were several priced at $115.00 and one at $439.00.LOL There is,however,one priced at $85.00 with make offer option.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/10199-CASE-XX-6354W-SS-WALNUT-TRAPPER-NKCA-2006-1-of-880-MINT-CLUB-KNIFE/153665845515?hash=item23c732b90b:g:tDwAAOSw7wJdklu3

I didn't finish the tale about this knife.I bid on this NKCA 3 blade Trapper and won it at $64.95.After tax and shipping it came to a few cents over $74.00.
I posted that link to another one like this in the hopes that some member would make an offer and pick up a really nice Trapper.
I found this knife to be in excellent condition but I did give it a final polish and wax before I took these pictures.Before I could finish I spotted the mail carrier bringing a Case Christmas Trapper.
Here is the NKCA Trapper. Unfortunately mirror polished blades present problems of reflections in the blades.

New Years Eve was our family Christmas gathering and gift exchange.
One of my grandson’s luvs visiting and checking my MTs and knives. I gifted him a Camper (SAK), and he does pay attention. He with my daughter’s help, gifted me a Case Barlow, not just any but a special via SMKW -

Did you know... that the two bladed 62032 Texas Jack is actually 4g heavier than the three bladed 63032 stockman of the same pattern? I figured out why and it's quite obvious once you examine them, but do you know why?

My guess is that if they are the same thickness, then the jack would require an extra spacer/layer that would weigh more than one of the stockmans blades?? :dunno:
So close, I'm going to give it to you! PM me your addy for a bag of sweeties. :woohoo:

Thank you I do, but to be fair I have a thing for history in general. WW2 is well represented though, so much so there's quite a few I haven't read yet... and Nix's just (very kindly) sent me another... :facepalm:
Post by: Fuzzbucket on January 11, 2020, 09:33:02 PM
I had one. It's a good knife, basically a one-bladed Trapper. I never bonded with it, and gave it back to Noah.
There's an assist model out now that looks interesting.
Aye, I'm very tempted with the assisted one, but living in the UK I think it would be pushing it a bit... and it would never get through customs. Bum.

What are your thoughts on the durability of Kirinite? Info online seems limited.

That's a good question.Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you.I do know that it is an acrylic material that has been compared to Corian.If it's as tough as Corian then it should prove to be durable.
I've read that knife makers like it because it's easy to shape.I like it because it has depth that unfortunately I'm unable to capture with my meager photographic skills.

Post by: toolguy on February 27, 2020, 04:32:02 AM
I always look for the non-knife guy selling.By that I mean,someone who buys at a yard sales or estate sales and knives aren't their thing.Even if they reference the average price,they'll usually take less because they bought it cheaply and aren't into knives.That Select model is exactly this type of situation.
I once found a Benelli M1 Super 90 20 gauge fully rifled slug barrel NIB for half of market value.I bought it instantly and discovered the seller was a fishing guy and he found it at a garage sale and bought it for next to nothing.

I got my first one in 2007/2008 and it had a lot of pocket time (you can see wear and loss of colour on the scales). However, I never got "the bug" from them. I bought four (one of which I later sold), and was gifted one, but was so happy with the ones I've got, I preferred them to all the others I saw :D Their prices help curtail additional spending too ;)

Thanks guys!
AW, I like the kirinite so far too, and although I have carried it some, it is having a tough time displacing the stag-scaled version in my pocket. The most remarkable thing about the kirinite so far is that, though highly polished, it is in no way slippery, even when wet. The "blue pearl" kirinite is also very pretty, though it lacks the irridescence of actual MOP.

These are from WW2.
2x Quartermasters, there were two stamps on these CASEXX and CASE
The other is a non marked 6”utility knife could be stamped with CASE or unmarked like this one. The sheath is named with several of the islands in the Aleutian Islands chain. Bit hard to read but it’s Dutch Harbour , Adak, Kiska, Attu.

I've not seen a wood scaled trapper with such character in the wood.
It has scratches on the blades,bolsters,back springs and liners.It also has rust on the underside of the back springs.
It'll take a while to to rehab this and I'll post the pictures when it's done.

Also, because both blades have usable points, I really like the clip and spear blade combination much better than the clip and spey combination that, for reasons unknown to me, seems to have become the standard.

Here's a neat somewhat older Case Swell Center Moose. It's too bad they don't make more of these. At 3 5/8" long with two wide, full-length blades and rounded bolsters, it packs a lot of cutting power into a compact and pocketable package.That is a lovely looking knife :like: :tu:

Nice knives. Considering this is a Case thread, should I feel bad that I like the GEC better.
Here's a Case Moose from the early '90s. The "Glitterstone" handles just ooze '90s chic. I love the blade shapes on this one too...:agree: Very unique looking knife

Here's a Trapper in blue G-10. In person, it's a very striking blue, and would make the knife easy to find if dropped. Nickel silver pins and liners are a nice upgrade over the standard brass in my opinion. Now, if Case would only expand the line beyond the current six offerings...
That's very cool Nate.

The Carhartt Mini Trapper is from 2014, and it took me four years to get. Our local Magic Mart put them out for Christmas of that year at $60 each. They didn't sell well. A year or two later, they were marked down to $40. Same goes there. The third or fourth generation owner of the Magic Mart chain retired in his 90s, and since there were no buyers for the struggling chain (stores are in rural areas with aging, declining populations and an average income of $25,000-30000; and was already bleeding cash), decided to close the dozen or so stores they had summer of 2018. It was on sale for $30. No other Cases were even there, despite this one being higher-end than some of the cheap models they had. To this date, I hate losing the Magic Mart chain. They had a decent, and fairly up-to-date diecast selection, and I didn't have to go in Walmart to get them (Kmart went out in 2015).
The Jumbo Stockman is from 2017, part of an Earth Brown series. It came from Shepherd Hills Cutlery last month, marked down to $40 from an $90 MSRP.

Great pair Cody and at a great price.
I really like that serrated blade on your Stockman,
The serrated blade was part of the reason why I chose that one. It was the same price (a little cheaper I think) than the Yellow Delrin CV version, and for work, I like a serrated blade. Case rarely does those. Most I see are on the Halloween knives. This whole "Earth Brown" series seemed to have them; which is the first time I've seen them outside of a Halloween edition; or an SFO.

I went way out on a limb to buy that knife.I usually like to tell members what I paid for a particular knife,as a way of documenting prices and leaving a legacy of value,at that particular time.I have to admit I paid a lot for this one,as it is one of the rarest of the Case Trapper line.

I recently decided to start buying some CASE knives, and love 'em. My last four knife purchases here which seem fitting for today. Case chestnut bone copperlock, old red bone stockman (with spey blade), and a blue bone Rogers corn cob stockman with pen blade. (That blue one is a perfect knife for carry to a formal setting - small, and the silver and blue are as classy as a cuff link!). When I bought the blue stockman, they also had a Buck 110 with the bolsters stained badly with someone's finger prints (No idea what they had on their fingers when they held it, but it really did go into the brass a little). They couldn't clean it off, so they gave me a discount. After I returned home, a little bit of Brasso and a good bit of elbow grease and she looks brand new. My next two knives are going to be a Tractor Supply exclusive Stockman with olive stained bone scales, and hopefully a Buck 112 in S30V.
Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday!!

I like the bone, as well as the laser etching that knife received. In a lot of ways, smooth bone captures the look a lot better than jigged.

Both good choices. The olive bone scales are nice, and Tractor Supply shield is obviously unique. I don't have a 112, but I have several other Bucks in S30V, and Buck does a good job with it.

Here's my latest. I liked the little barn in the logo on this Tractor Supply Stockman. About once a month I stop there to get a bag of dog food, and somehow I always end up leaving with a knife as well. Next month, if it's still there I might get the Rosewood folding hunter they have in the case. I was looking through their online catalog last night and saw they have an axe (Winkler series) that sells for $500 and they are out of stock. That must be one heck of an axe.

Next month, if it's still there I might get the Rosewood folding hunter they have in the case. I was looking through their online catalog last night and saw they have an axe (Winkler series) that sells for $500 and they are out of stock. That must be one heck of an axe.
That's the same thing that happened to me :facepalm:
I always end up in the knife isle

This is one of those moments where your significant other just gives you one of those looks of "but... why?!" Ah well. I'm a sucker for the amber or chestnut bone scales and a hardware store I visited today had two others to match one I had previously bought.

Post by: nate j on October 01, 2020, 05:28:55 AM
This is a full tang knife that originated before that was a major selling point. I really think Case could make a couple of minor modifications and make a hunting/survival knife out of it that would sell like hotcakes. To wit:
- Lengthen the handle a bit to accommodate larger hands
- Use impervious synthetics like G-10 for the handle slabs
- Get rid of the fuller; it doesn't serve any actual function here, just adds machining cost
- Eliminate the swedge; this will make the blade stronger toward the tip, and also save a bit of machining
- Increase the thickness somewhat
- Dump the leather sheath and replace with kydex
- Consider ditching the brass guard in favor of an integral guard
Are you listening, Case? :pok:
Post by: Aloha on October 01, 2020, 04:04:36 PM
As to your modification ideas, I do like the ideas tho I am currently loving these style fixed blades so much. I'm wondering who has a knife similar if not exactly like you mention?
Beautiful knife.

The sycamore does look nice. I wonder if it is stabilized?
I’m excited to see some micarta in the 2021 lineup. I know it’s not a “traditional” handle material, but it’s hard to beat for a working knife, and it looks good too. One of those large stockmans (stockmen?) in black micarta will probably have to come to my house to stay.
I’m also interested to see the Panama coming out again. Basically a two-blade version of the Backpocket, though referred to by some as a trapper variant. A bit on the large side for daily carry, but I might have to snag one of those as well.
Finally, the Case rep dropped a few interesting nuggets: their best-selling model is apparently the medium stockman in yellow composition and CV, while the best-selling pattern is the trapper.
Post by: Shuya on April 08, 2021, 01:46:02 PM
They remake their Copperhead, so basically a large Peanut. :ahhh

Post by: nate j on April 22, 2021, 06:47:59 AM
In person, it's quite a bright blue; I think it would be easy to find if dropped. While not a traditional look, the G-10 should of course hold up very well for a user. Rounded bolsters (as all pocketknives, frankly, should have). I'm always a sucker for nickel silver pins, liners, and bolsters; I think they're so much better than brass. 3 5/8" closed length is, for me, in that sweet spot that balances ease of use with ease of carry.
The sheepsfoot blade sits quite proud of the rest of the knife when closed. I could file the kick to drop it down some, but I actually kind of like being able to pinch it open. There's a bit of blade rub between the sheepsfoot and spey blades, but that doesn't really matter for a user.
One thing I've never understood about this pattern, though, is why it has such a thin and weak-looking main clip blade. This could be beefed up significantly without sacrificing, well, anything. Fingers crossed Case may some day offer a 47 pattern (the best of the medium stockman patterns, IMO) in this blue G-10 line...

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...

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.

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).

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

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:.

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.

Good golly I didnt even know or had forgotten that knife existed. I like it. :tu: What years were those produced TG?
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.

When I bought this Case, I was thinking about getting a Carl Schlieper Eye Brand in the large Sodbuster pattern. I compared it to the Case and found that the Case was higher quality for a lower price. That was the first new Case I ever bought.

Small Texas jack for me today.A 62032? Whatever the pattern, it's a beauty!

Love that cabin shield S19.
I believe Spartan19's knife with the barn shield is a 6347. The shield is exclusive to Tractor Supply. Next time I have to go there, I'll be bringing one or three of them back with me.
Let me see if I can reinvigorate this party. I've shown these two by themselves, but never together. Two Sod Buster Jrs, one in bone and the other in yellow Delrin.

When I began really looking at traditional knives Case was a brand I looked at. There are others but Case stood out with the long history of the brand. I am a fan and have become a bigger fan over my short time buying traditional knives. What I can say is there is a lot of knife for the money and a lot of cover options to keep any collector happy.
Here are my Case knives.

I've got big and small sodbusters from Imperial and I like them both, one is great for carrying around the watch pocket and the other is a bit more potent for work (mainly cooking with me). That's why I'll probably get both sizes from Case too :)

That's probably the best looking example of Amber bone I've seen. Generally it doesn't appeal to me, but that's one good looking knife.

Thats what I'm afraid of :gimme:. At some point I will pick up something. There are so many patterns and thankfully I cannot figure out which I like best. Unlike SAKs traditionals aren't a rabbit hole I want to go down.
YET HERE I AM. I am enamored by traditional knives. I recently became a big fan of Case knives. I'm not 100% certain which I got first but I'm fairly sure ( not pictured ) it was a steak type knife. I believe I then got the large Sod Buster. I then received the Yellow Delrin Sod Buster. From there I don't know? I recently picked up several from FX which kicked my interest even further.
The more I learn the more enjoy. Its like that with me with most everything. I enjoy the item but I really enjoy the learning. I've read my share of Case stories from the very good to the very bad and everything in between. You're always gonna get a side that harkens for the "good ole days" of Case. I understand that very much. Then you'll get the side that says Case is catering to the collectors. I also understand that side as well.
I am still learning a lot about Case knives. I can't go back and I never bought Case knives till recently so I wont concern myself with the good ole days. I also wont be inheriting any "good ole Case knives" from the era some say were the best. Unless someone wants to send me come........
What I can say is much of whats been said, written, and experienced by those far more knowledgeable than me is true. The good, not so good, and everything in between.
I am happy with my Case knives. I will be getting more thats for sure.
I quoted myself because I had no clue I'd be headed down the rabbit hole, yet here I am.

Looking at the 80-89 stamp. I'm assuming that ss stands for Stainless but, jeez, pick a better font I'd say!
I agree. I have always wondered why the lighting s were used and are still being used today.

Studying tang stamps can get to be overwhelming at times. :whistle: :D I have even bought knives just for the tang stamps. There are people who collect tang stamps. You might want to try and get a copy of "Goins Encycopedia of Cutlery Markings" to further your research.

I like the tailed C stamp as well, yet not really a Case Collector! I do however have found several patterns that I fancy. Sod Buster, Muskrat, Canoe, Tribal Lock, and CopperLock. :drool:

I liked the Tribal Lock so much, just could not be happy with one, so 2nd one sought and found, along with a version of the Copperhead so I qualified for free shipping

LC it was the whole package. Blade, handle and being a locker didnt hurt anything. Ordered the gray pocket worn with Crandall jigging. If I like it and I'm sure I will there are a couple more that have my attention that may get ordered in the near future.

I have to confess that the Tribal Lock had never really appealed to me. I felt like the looks weren’t particularly striking, and it’s smaller than what I would typically carry as a single blade locking folder.I picked my first TB for its scales first, then the blade style!
I was surprised when I laid next to my 112, it was almost the same size.

So, if I'm reading my tang stamp right, this lovely piece as been hanging around since 2014 just waiting for me to buy it. Initial impressions are mostly positive, but I have a few caveats. No rubbing on the blade, but it is a hair off centre. Lots of buffing compound on the scales, though an old toothbrush has taken are of that. Horrible big burr on the blade but, again, easily fixed. The pull on the blade is softer than I'd like and there isn't much I can do about that. If all that sounds overly negative I will also say that it's very pleasing in the hand and in the pocket.

I did my studies, search for Tony Bose designed traditional knives.
A SOWBELLY in Autumn Orange, display model is only one, 02/16. Matches the Tribal in my pocket.
Another Autumn Orange Tribal, 04/17, last one as well, a back or a gift?
A Navy Blue Tribal, 04/17, also, only one!
Then a Navy Blue Sod Buster Jr, 06/21, priced less than a Black model. And last one of this color!!!

After tying up the edges on my Tony Bose Stockman I promptly put it into my pocket. Its been great carrying it.

Do the Tony Bose models feel better than the standard production? I have seen some marked tony bose for the same price as standard and some for large amounts of money. Confusing.

The limited TB knives are a bit different in that these are as close to his customs from a production standpoint as we can get. There are features that regular production knives wont have hence the price point for these limited knives. The QC should also be on point as well. The materials are non standard. Mine came in terrific condition. The price point is really high tho at $500+. I got mine along with a limited Tribal Lock with his likeness etched in the white bone for $300

There are some TB designated models like the Sowbelly Stockman. This knife is made same as any Case so the quality and QC would also be pretty standard. Mine was fantastic however so I do hope they are all like this. I also have the Tribal Lock which is a TB standard production knife. I've read some having issues with theirs. Mine is very good.

Did Case ever make a CV whittler?
Certainly, though I don’t believe there is one currently being manufactured.

Great looking wee knife there. Shame about the ding in the bolster, but to my way of thinking the yellow delrin knives are there to take a few knocks. :salute:
Thanks.
It has a few of Case's minor QC issues already, so I'm not too worried about the damage.
I love the look of bone covers, but delrin really does seem like the more practical material.

Arrived today, a Case pattern I did not know existed until earlier this week, introduced in a YouTube Channel unboxing. Then decided I did not need, and curiosity changed that. Examining a closer look at the pattern number I learn this is a Tony Bose design released this year but with limited production and not in the catalogs.

I’d been meaning to try one of Case’s “modern” knives, and when I saw they were offering one in CPM 20CV, I jumped on it.
I really want to like this knife, and Case did some nice things with it, but there are also a couple of glaring issues…
Pros:
- F&F and W&T
- Handle shape/ergonomics in hand - the shape of the handle is comfortable and really locks the knife into my hand, in spite of its relatively thin profile
- Action - flips open easily with just the index finger (no wrist flick required), no blade play in either open or closed positions, no concerns with accidental opening
- Blade shape - comes to an acute point while offering plenty of belly
- Premium steel
Cons:
- G10 panel - I understand Case was trying to provide some texture on what would otherwise be a smooth (even slick) anodized aluminum handle, but the panel isn’t flush with the rest of the handle (sits slightly proud) and the texture is too aggressive. Some light texturing of the aluminum similar to Maglite or Vic 93 mm alox would have been much better, and could have been applied to virtually the entire handle instead of a small patch.
- Huge protruding screw heads on the screws that hold the pocket clip on (see last pic) - This seems like such a rookie mistake, and it really interferes with using the pocket clip. Screws should have been countersunk so they sat flush with the handle. This is one of those things that make me ask, “Didn’t you build a prototype and have someone carry and use it for a week before putting it into full production?”

Contacted the seller and he said I could keep it or return it for a refund. This knife has excellent old time Case quality. 1974 was the years I graduated from high school so I decided to keep it.

Case Marilla
I’d been meaning to try one of Case’s “modern” knives, and when I saw they were offering one in CPM 20CV, I jumped on it.
I really want to like this knife, and Case did some nice things with it, but there are also a couple of glaring issues…

- Handle shape/ergonomics in hand - the shape of the handle is comfortable and really locks the knife into my hand, in spite of its relatively thin profile
- Action - flips open easily with just the index finger (no wrist flick required), no blade play in either open or closed positions, no concerns with accidental opening

- Premium steel
Cons:
- G10 panel - I understand Case was trying to provide some texture on what would otherwise be a smooth (even slick) anodized aluminum handle, but the panel isn’t flush with the rest of the handle (sits slightly proud) and the texture is too aggressive. Some light texturing of the aluminum similar to Maglite or Vic 93 mm alox would have been much better, and could have been applied to virtually the entire handle instead of a small patch.
- Huge protruding screw heads on the screws that hold the pocket clip on (see last pic) - This seems like such a rookie mistake, and it really interferes with using the pocket clip. Screws should have been countersunk so they sat flush with the handle. This is one of those things that make me ask, “Didn’t you build a prototype and have someone carry and use it for a week before putting it into full production?”
I’ve modified the pocket clip on my Marilla. It essentially just hangs on the edge of a pocket now, but that’s perfectly fine for my use. I won’t be parachuting out of airplanes with it clipped to my gear or anything of that nature. This modification pretty much negates the issue with the pocket clip screw heads.
With this change, I’ve actually been carrying it quite a bit lately. The blade continues to impress, and to confirm my initial impressions. It’s really a terribly useful shape, and has easily handled cable ties, cigars, various packaging…pretty much everything I’ve managed to throw at it, with no sign of dulling or damage.

That's a nice looking knife nate :like: how are you liking that Marilla, I haven't seen any yet and haven't had the chance to try one outThanks Noah. Overall, I like it and have been carrying it a fair amount lately. My thoughts are pretty much laid out in my previous two posts about the Marilla in this thread, but to summarize.
- The blade shape is fantastic. Strong but acute point, continuous curve with plenty of belly.
- Mine came razor sharp out of the box, and has handled everything from cigars to various packaging to cable ties without batting an eye.
- This is the CPM 20CV version; the S35VN version is identical except for the steel, but is more common, less expensive, and has more handle color options.
- The knife flips open quickly and fairly smoothly with the integral flipper, and with the liner lock is easy to close one handed.
- One of my major complaints was that the large screw heads on the pocket clip interfered with using the pocket clip. However, by bending the pocket clip out I fixed that problem, with the trade off that it doesn’t really grip the pocket anymore (rather just hangs on the edge of the pocket).
- My other complaint is that, while the G10 grip panel provides some welcome traction on what might otherwise be a slick anodized aluminum handle, I don’t feel it was executed as well as it could have been. I would have preferred they skip the G10 altogether and instead provide some texturing of the aluminum handle, which would have looked better, felt better, and could have covered virtually the whole handle.

Yet, the handles, scales, covers or what you call them, did handle the abuse. Looking good after AWL that abuse.
On the farm I worked, we had a large grind stone wheel, used it for sharpening axes, hatchets and field knives. Not so good for Jack knives. Few folk invested in quality sharpening stones let alone learn to use properly.

Today I picked up a Old timer Middle Man. It was left to die. I can tell it was used but at some point it was left unused. Rusted, mostly surface thankfully with very little sharpening done. These old timers sure come up with a little work on the ceramic stone.
All three blades slice magazine paper with ease.
Didn't see much else worth taking home.

Most of the Case knives I see are abused. I can see the very rough grind marks. Pretty sad actually. I had to learn to leave well enough alone. I thought to buy them up and sell for parts or make knives from all the parts. Lot of work, time, money tho.Well, :facepalm: I was postured for a challenge! Found a Yellow Soddy Jr on the auction site, seller was asking $22, and had buy it now option. After a few days, I may have been only one looking, he sent me a Make an offer email. (Also, listing was free shipping)
So I sent and offer of $15, it looked a little rough, but salvageable. He said no! 4 hours later sent a counter for $20, I ignored. And a few hours later (I should have ignored🙄), I counter $17. (Free s/h). He accepted.
After 10 days he finally sent it and it arrived.
It was way bad, very poor condition, there was black growing on the blade??? Had trouble extracting the blade!

400 grit wet dry paper, then aluminum foil, then 400 again wet. Then after supper more aluminum foil. My hands were BLACK, but progress. Then fetched my CASE cleaner/polish. Applied and let set. Started another batch of cookies, Oatmeal/Raisin !
Wiped down the polish, must say the blade has character. It is stained, will have to just see🤪 next oil and sharpen.

I have seen discussions were folk try to force patina by cutting apples and not wiping the blade, even rubbing down with vinegar.
Carbon content blades will age nicely with any legit use.
This knife however was severely neglected! Could tell you what was left on the blade, it was at minimum 1/32 to 1/16” in spots on the blade like a crust.
I thought it may have penetrated through the blade.
I swear it sounded as if the blade was sucking the mineral oil off the rag.
Yet, thank you for the compliments.
I fine the handles color enjoyable to look at and knowing it was abused, I will use correctly. Already like the pattern.

I am a lot more picky to choose one that I feel looks to be honest wear and not abuse. Neglected knives like the Schrade Middleman I picked up past week appeared to be a neglected knife. Maybe left in a drawer or garage tool box :dunno:.
I used to also try to erase any appearance of age. I clean and polish to "like" new. Glad I stopped that. I clean and rehab only to remove harmful elements and make useable. Sadly most of the Case knives I see are IMO abused or maybe thought of as disposable?

I found one! Shortly after posting this message, Friday afternoon, receive shipping info very shortly afterwards, and today Monday it was at my mailbox. Unbelievable service from DEADWOOD KNIVES.Definitely something worth celebrating and a blue Soddie seems like a good gift.
It is a gift from me to me for completing my extended RADIATION TREATMENT of 39. I have 7 to go. I will be patient and not open until next Wednesday afternoon, after my 39th treatment.
I’ve gone through Deadwood Knives a few times with good results.
Also justified the Caribbean Blue color as detailed by the tack pin and bookmark received when I completed round two last August. There is color designated by “Hope for a Cure” for many of the cancers that are experienced and for caregivers as well.Choose Hope is a nice website for awareness items.

I can understand why Case sells so many knives. When they knock a cover out the park like this one its hard to not want each pattern in Caribbean Blue.Agree, on the colors and wanting multiple patterns.
I like Antique bone and BoneStag 6.5 as well. The synthetic are pretty great too. Ihavehad one in grey and it was slick. Catherine is now the proud owner. Her mail knife.

But then I found another nice color on another site I could not ignore
This Mediterranean Blue

And then to tell the truth, I already shared this knife, a Tribal Lock that was found while hunting for the Mediterranean Blue
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
So, 3 new CASE knives landed this month.
The last two were found solely because FarmerX shared a link of a site I had forgotten about :whistle: :woohoo: :cheers:

Last Friday checking a few outlets for CASE knifes, I found a Tony Bose Tribal lock in a pattern I have never seen or have seen other CASE models dressed with.Like the coloring on that one. I have a Half Whittler that I bought specifically for the Tribal burnt purple

I specifically went to Red Hill Cutlery’s website to order one of the 2023 LE Pioneer X, but then saw this exclusive Case Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Wood Small Swell Center Jack.
I can’t afford both and this one won. I already have a few Pioneer X SAKs.

Your Bourbon Barrel Jack is looker😎
I too, fell for the Tribal Burnt Purple on first sight❤️
Bought without hesitation, it was secondary that it was a Tribal Lock pattern.
Learned later that there are several patterns fitted with these scales and have so far resisted searching!!! Until I saw yours 💓

Gorgeous knives Sos. The center swell is a pattern I am fond of and those barrel covers are awesome.This will be my first center swell so I am really looking forward to it

The multiple patterns of same scales can be dangerous to the wallet.
Shortly after ordering the bourbon barrel, I discovered that Case has a purple curly maple handle that looks amazing to me. I am trying to resist the temptation, but know it is going to be hard.

Very nice! Isn’t the date printed on the end of the box along with the model and material information. If a January, February or March date, then the tang date indicators could reveal the previous year for blade birth.

Sorry but I'm not sure. Only thing I have to say is it's not a soddie without the birdseye pivot.
I SEE your birds eye view of this observation.
However, back when this pattern was introduced and adopted by farmers and the hard laborers of this continent. The sod Buster style folder was made of carbon steel blades and either wood or synthetic materials for its handles. A reinforced pivot pin would be required to keep the handles from splitting and to keep the blade in place.
These knifes were not made with bone, stag or other hard materials.
Back a while I did some learning on the Sod Buster. Found only a few requirements. From memory.
1. single Blade folder.
2. Blade is a Drop point shaped design,
3. No metal BOLSTER in either end of the handle.
No mention about the pivot pin washer🧐 Likely not needed definition because of materials utilized.
Just thinking!

Case Three Dot, Two Dot Hawbaker Special. This knife is about as close to mint as you can get.
You likely already know this David, the “3dot” and tang stamp indicate a 1977 made model.
The “2 dot” with the same stamp is a 1978 made model.
I would be interested to know the actual model number of rack knife. Usually a 4 or 5 digits number scheme.
The combination of blade types has me curious🤓
You are correct they are both nice and one looks as if was tucked away for a rainy day that never happen. 🥲

Case Muskrat of that era didnt have a Case number associated with it. There were only known as Muskrat or the few Hawbaker Specials that they made. The Case Muskrats were made on the 47 frame.

Nice! I highly recommend this stockman as well. I haven't seen these in a while and I love my yellow one. I carry it more than any other traditional and I tend to not use a spey or pen that often. The awl pairs well with an MT or SAK that doesn't have one like the Pulse or Compact.

That is very nice 👍
I found a well used model that is labeled a 047 pattern.
The clip blade is labeled actual as a Muskrat blade or today called the California clip blade.
It I thought was the same as the 47 pattern but frame is not as thick plus has cutout for the Nick on the main blade.

:like: Quite a difference between the two size Soddies. Your yellow Soddie tho :dd:. Such a great save and new lease on life for it.Agree. The Soddie Jr is much smaller.
With the Stockmen, the size difference doesn’t seem that much, but it is in carry and feel. The small and med isn’t much, but the large is a huge difference in hand and pocket.

Chrome Vanadium (CV) has been replaced by 1095 carbon steel (CS) in Case's lineup. That's not really a problem for me, but it is noteworthy.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned here but, if not, I thought it would be a good place for documentation on Case knife production.

A update, discussed in the Dean Memorial but worthy of awl CASE fans😎
Last week Monday (7/03) I discovered my Tribal Lock was missing its Red Case shield! I looked the sheath, turned my pockets inside out,!checked the tray I leave the knife in on kitchen counter, the grass under the porch swing I below where I removed the knife at, and I knew it was there that morning.
So the after I located on CASE’s Web page how to file a warranty request. Filled it out and sent at 5:05 PM EDT. Within moments received an acknowledgement to my request and it indicated expect a reply within 5 - 8 business days.
A reply was received Wednesday 7/05 shortly after 9:05 AM EDT, indicating from my details a Shield would be mailed to me and if it did not fit, that I would need to return the knife since several sizes are utilized due to the number of patterns that employ that part.
Today 7/10, one week later, the letter arrived with the Shield and it FITS PERFECTLY!!!

Both times I contacted them via email. The first was concerning a new BoTh I received with question about gaps that appear between the lock lever and the liners. With pictures.
They contacted me via email with three options1. Return the knife and they would repair. 2. They send out another new knife and could return the questionable in the carton as they would pack shipping forms to return. 3. I could return the knife, receive full refund, the shipping label was an attachment to the email.
The second contact was via email again.
This was request a Blade/Hammer Nsil shield for a Canoe knife. Pictures provided.
Rep emailed back 2 days later. That badge of those covers no longer available. Offer to send a new knife. I declined the new knife, as I did not send the other one to them. Both times positive interactions.

This however is where much of Case criticism stems from, inconsistency. I've had one I was not thrilled with either. Very very bad grinds and filthy bordering on garbage white bone handles. I sent back and was taken care of to my delight. All others have been terrific thankfully.

That 6.5 handle material I find very attractive. I don't recall what you were not fully happy about with the brown Stockman G?

Not a fan of the "as ground" blades and the synthetic covers feel...lighter (?), lesser quality than Delrin. Priced the same as (or slightly more than) a good old yellow #18 Stockman but feels cheaper. All that said; I don't hate it, I just wish I liked it more.
Post by: Aloha on July 14, 2023, 07:15:36 PM

I don't know if you know how deep my trad collection is :whistle: I prefer stag over most things in a trad and love Damascus steel as well :D Bone in these looked as nice or nicer than the stag is why I went for that but I meant for it to be CV instead of carbon :dunno: I use to carry a trad way more but that has been a few years since I have now :cheers:
Also thanks Steve and Aloha :hatsoff: I do like it pretty good :D

I hope you know I was poking fun.
The synthetic models are nice and less expensive of course. They are also thicker for good grips for working knifes.
The bones, jigged, saw cut, pocket faded, etc, get the oohs and ash’s when pulled from the pocket.
Yours is a good looking knife and good choice for your first Sod Buster Jr 😉👍😎

This Copperhead is the only one I own right now. I had ordered a few more that got in this week, but they all had numerous issues and are on their way back to the store I bought them from. Admittedly, even the Copperhead came to me with a blade tip that stuck up above the scales, and required me grinding the kick to bring it down.
Glad to see other folks are having better luck and getting some nice looking knives.. I just drew the short straw this time.

There was a very nice Stag/bone on the action site yesterday. Thought I had a chance, but before my highest bid was placed it jumped to 110, and I think in ended at 126 or more.

How do you get on with the weight of pull on the TB? I love love the pattern but wish it had a tougher backspring.
Post by: LoopCutter on July 21, 2023, 04:29:27 PM
How do you get on with the weight of pull on the TB? I love love the pattern but wish it had a tougher backspring.The TearDrop pattern by Tony Bose has a 5-1/2 pull. It is my only TearDrop and I have only used for some light duty slicing. A push type of use, no carving or point on use.
Many of my stockmans are light pulls as well, Buck, Case and Camillus are awl less than 6 in the arbitratory scale🤪
My heavier duty CASE MODELS are my CopperLock and Tribal Lock. These are most function for my needs just because of the mid-locks.
NOW! My Wright & Sons Lambs are a whole another animal, the back springs on the 3 I have easily are 8s or stiffer. 🫣
Another answer to the Tony Bose designs, is that they are “functional pretty”, for collectors not awl for users. Just my humble opinion.

CV markings didn't come into play until the 90s, when a larger portion of Case production was in stainless and the SS marking was dropped from the main tang stamp. Those CV markings are sometimes paired with the model number stamp, but also sometimes are stamped separate from the main and model stamps depending on the blade configuration.
Nice Trapper you have there BPR!

I'm inclined to save myself the time/cost of mailing it, and keeping it as a minor cosmetic oddity.
I would do the same.
I believe the pins are punched or possibly spun at the factory (and that both sides are done simultaneously), so I suspect that pin was just off-center a bit when it was “peened”. The whole thing was then sanded flush & smooth.
I concur that it is unlikely to impact the structural integrity of the knife, and that it is simply a minor cosmetic imperfection.

CASE COUNTRY II TOUR visited a dealer in my area.
Many give aways, and several models at special pricing, so early Christmas shopping did occur.
Eight models secured including the Host’s special selection. A good time.

I do like it. It was bought as a high quality EDC knife. It is to give me a choice between this and my 14 year old Buck Vantage Pro.

Wish we could get the razor pattern in that. Nice color, but do I really need another stockman...
Razors start arriving in March and April.
Caribbean Blue saw cut is an option.
It is possible SMKW may do the Corn cob jig as well.
I waiting to obtain at least one model of the Razor😎

Had to turn off light as the sheen was too much!
F&F is a 10. W&T is very good.
Surprising the backspring on both blades is a solid 8, strong for a CASE folder.

I am excited as it is my first Case purchase, and was happy to support the local shop owner who is a cool knife/leather guy. I am counting 10 dots on the blade, which means 2020 from my cursory search.
Post by: BPRoberts on March 21, 2024, 12:51:51 AM
If you like it, give the '47 stockman a try, same blades and about the same size, just a little more svelte. Probably my favorite Case.

I once used one of the single blade sowbellys as an emergency turkey carving knife.

Good to know its up for a little turkey carving! :) I will keep the 47 in mind, this one is SS so I will probably need to pickup a CV model at some point to try.
Post by: LoopCutter on March 21, 2024, 04:57:27 PM
For reference I included a couple side by side shots of my Sowbelly to a 47 pattern and a 75 (the large)
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
The Sheepsfoot is hardier on the Sowbelly than 47.
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
The Yellow is a CS version 75 pattern
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
The bottom is another 75 pattern, was a bargain and exclusive to Shepard Hills in SS
I have only seen pictures of a single blade Sowbelly and typically when a SOWBELLY appears at table or auction site they are priced at a premium. I found mine at a retailer, with the original MRSP price point, making it bargain.
CV and CS models are frequently misunderstood by sellers, and good buys can be had compared to SS models😉

@EnginearsThanks for the comparison shots, the 47 looks like a great size. The 75 though! Looks huge, I already find the Sowbelly to be on the heavier side.

I really like how the blades are tucked on the 47. I ground on the kick to lower the sheepsfoot on mine, but I wonder why Case has the nail nick on the same side as the clip point. The way it is on the other stockmans makes a lot more sense.

One of the only things I saw in SHOT Show videos that piqued my interest was the new Bridgeline series knives by Case. My Longhouse with OD Green Micarta arrived today, and I love it! My only complaint is that I chose the Longhouse over the Highbanks due to it being one-hand openable, but it's awkward to open with one hand (likely, my fault).

I haven’t pulled the trigger on one though, largely because the blade is somewhat shorter than I prefer on a single blade knife, and also because I wasn’t thrilled with the price.

My Dad carried a Black Schrade Weldon Muskrat pattern, the only knife he had in his pocket along with his Zippo lighter.
One knife, two identical blades, one dulls, change to other and sharpen when return home.
I found the knife last summer, he past away 20 years ago or so. Really bad shape, suspect he lost it in driveway and it was repeatedly ran over in the gravel before someone brought it inside. Sorry can not find the pictures :dunno:

On the other side of the coin, it does appear that CASE is releasing more patterns with the Carbon Steel option than in previous years.
And, then it has been mentioned in a SMKW you tube video with a CASE rep, they are introducing different handle materials and color combos, BUT, only in restricted quantities. When gone, they will be GONE.
Like the SMKW exclusive, SEA DRAGON BONE. NOTE, CASE labels the box as Burnt Caribbean Blue Jig Bone. Pretty much all patterns in this color are gone.
It is my take, marketing toward collectors AND SECONDARY RESELLERS by limiting quantity to increase inventory turnover.
A model other knife makers have been enjoying the past several years, as GEC, and the sub brands.
Post by: BPRoberts on May 03, 2024, 11:09:17 PM
On the other, I recognize that collectability is probably the only reason Case is still in business after all the other big east coast cutlery companies went under, and I appreciate that they mostly do cosmetic collectables, and keep most of the patterns pretty widely available.
It's not ideal, but I think it's probably about the best balance we're likely to get from a company in the current market.
