That looks beautiful! But the million dollar question is: can you open it one-handed? Does it actually work?
Yes, I actually did it a couple of times by hooking it on the pocket of my jeans, so it is possible. I just prefer to pinch it open though, less likely to slash my clothes inadvertentlyThat looks beautiful! But the million dollar question is: can you open it one-handed? Does it actually work?
I ordered the same one and it arrived today. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.View attachment 2526442
I did a preorder on the antique bone and it finally arrived. I will say this is a great handle material, love the color. I have had a pretty good run of luck with Case fit and finish lately, so had fairly high hopes. But this one leaves a bit to be desired. Blade is off center, about as close as you can get without actually rubbing on the liner. Pull is a decent 6, with solid snap opening and closing. Typical slight Case backspring gap. At the half stop position, the backspring protrudes quite a bit, and is slightly sunken when fully opened. I usually like to check out the yearly vault release, glad I did, but think I’m good for the rest of this run.
Yeah...I would love to see a source for that info from them.according to Case, that blade shape is for those hard to reach areas while shaving.... Not for one handed opening.![]()
Looks great Rick!!I caved and couldn't resist smooth natural bone. It's gorgeous. The knife itself..... I like it wayyyy more in person. It's a very nice larger size, the main blade has a good hollow grind and it's not too heavy.
This one is the exact opposite of the sad vault pattern knife I got last year. This one is perfect. Centered, snappy and a credit to the manufacturer! This is the case quality we all love, right?
Being overly critical there is a burr on both blades that I'm sure will come off with minimal effort. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with it!

I still haven't ordered one yet. None of them have particularly jumped out at me so far. But that one looks really nice.I caved and couldn't resist smooth natural bone. It's gorgeous.

Natural smooth bone and CS? That's one of my favorite combinations. Apparently they have a whole line coming out. You've made my wallet very unhappy lol. Thanks.We have CS, at last!
I was just looking at this Natural Bone with USA shield and thought it was kind of cool, then I noticed it was in CS. This is the first of this run that I'm aware of.
