2022 Case Vault - Small Swell Center Jack

I’m pretty excited about these. In the shot show video they hinted at special releases, so that’s intriguing for sure. I really liked the special runs they did with the copperlocks.

The initial cover releases look pretty standard from Case. I’ll be interested to see what special runs some of the larger dealers offer.

I don't see Cheyenne or cayenne bone on the link posted above. Where are you guys seeing this?



Yeah, I'm a sucker for blue, and then sawcut it...

If you look at the SMKW reveal video, Maury Ford briefly mentions it. It’s that gorgeous orange jigged bone.

All these patterns with double bellies are driving me nuts. Give me more patterns with a straight edge too so the same knife can do more jobs.

Orange jigged bone! So far I see 3 handle choices I want! I may set an “indoor record” this year with knife purchases.

I’m not a knife designer, so I have no idea, but would this pattern work with a wharncliffe blade? They have a wharncliffe on some of the mini copperheads. Might be cool.

Yep. Something like a wharncliffe or coping blade is exactly what I'm thinking.

Since my earlier post, by now I'm pretty much convinced I'll grab the Caribbean Blue within the year. I might go with the red too, but honestly I'm still undecided on the rest. I'd like to try out the Cayenne, but since it's not CV and I can't put my signature patina (one blade natural, one blade forced pattern) on it I may go with the Slimline Trapper they showed with those covers. I always brush the bolsters on my Case knives, and I like the idea of doing that while leaving the band with the XX polished.

I'll grab a dark red ASAP, and hopefully have a great dark natural patina rolling by the time the next CV 25-1/2 drops barring it's in a cover I'm interested in.

Man if they did their antique " rogers " jigged bone in CV I'd snatch one right up.

I really just wanna see the CV blades with some covers in a rich more natural tone like the antique smooth bone , something in that area really pairs well with a dark patina'd blade.
The honey , caramel, whiskey, and dark reddish browns are my favorite tones for jigged bone.

 

[Old Hunter]

If it's coming out of the vault in CV, then to be a real historic return, Case should offer genuine jigged Delrin handles! OH

 

[JohnDF]

Why-Oh-Why wouldn't they use CV in their Yellow Delrin offerings???

I hear you on that, I personally only own Cases pilot test run trapper in 1095, and if that steel performs similarly to their CV, I can totally see myself picking up a knife from their dark red or grey jigged bone families that they do in CV

Don’t they offer both SS and CV in their yellow synthetic line?

If I'm not mistaken their CV is a 1095 with chrome vanadium added.

They do, but the yellow delrin has kind of always been synonymous with their CV.
Most often if a knife is available in CV the yellow delrin will be the or one of the options.

The only one I see listed so far is in True Sharp.

 

[Pàdruig]

I don't believe the Barlow they offered in Yellow Delrin a couple of years ago was with CV either - so it isn't without precedent.

I have a yellow delrin, cv, Barlow from that run, but I think it was an SFO through a dealer (non BF sponsoring so will remain nameless). As discussed above, there will probably be some SFO's out there that aren't standard issue.

I think you're right - I forgot about that one.

I remember a similar conversation as the one we're having now when those Barlows came out and there was the same confusion over the general release in Yellow Delrin being in Tru-Sharp rather than CV.
