Blue Stag?

I propose the new Blue Stag/Tennessee "Whiskey Rivers" Series with this shield. :D

(that would give a whole new meaning to "XX") :D
 
Thanks Jason. I have lots of great ideas like this but if I was to share them all at once...well...I could be held responsible for peoples guts and sides and stuff. :p
 
Ok, if you insist. They could put a free Willie Nelson concert ticket in the box with each knife. Sales would soar, I tell ya.

:D:D
 
I see others are starting to catch the vision. This is how dreams come true. ;) This blue stag thing is growing on me. :D
 
Well, at least it's a double vision . . . . . . . . . .

Anything getting that much derision is destined to popular and valuable one day. Like "Members Only" jackets and the AMC Gremlin.

im all in with the blue stag. im drivin' up to bradford ,pa. to pick mine up from case as we speak. btw im the one in the lime green pacer.
 
I've cringed at more than a few different tacky limited edition Case knives, but that one might be the worst IMHO. I mean the color is one thing, but the shield and etching really give it a craptacular fit and finish!
 
Not a fan of the color on stag, but oh well. I bought a blue bone knife so I am not without sin. Generally dont like etching.... The shield though, is tough to swallow. Looks like superbowl xx football logo or something?

Aha! I found the source of that shield -- the insidious clown bomb. Obviously some poor deer got exposed to its terrible effects, and this is a commemorative for them.

Ohhhkay. Depending on how I hold my head, the angle I look at it, and perhaps each knife taken on an individual basis I would mebbe, find one or two I might like enough, though not really love, but like by itself (but not at that price). But the blade etch and the shield are just horrid! Those make it just atrocious.

Why do people who can make an otherwise nice knife have to put such ugly blade etchings on them? And in color no less! If you must etch, at least use a mono-tone classic looking etch. Please. Some of the German Boker's have nice, classic etches. Schatt & Morgan SFO knives have classy etchings. But Case, and I love Case knives, has some butt ugly etches on theirs along with some ugly, lazer etched and/or odd colors.

I do understand that they are trying to perhaps keep enough color/shield variations going to keep selling to those who just have to have one of every something in the hopes of catching those who will collect a particular color or scale pattern in each knife pattern it comes in or those who will collect a single knife pattern or two in every scale variation, and so on. (whew, long sentence.) It is probably one way they are trying to stay solvent in the face of Chinese knives like the Rough Riders. It is almost as if they have the "extreme" grouping of knives to appeal to the eye candy crowd, and the smaller, more traditional line that appeals to those people who might actually carry said knife on a daily basis. The latter of course is a much smaller market. The former a larger market of "hot wheels" type collectors and people who will give those knives as gifts to people who probably won't actually look on them as cutting tools, but something "cool" someone gave them. In the drawer, or treasure box, or on the desk display it goes.

Still no excuse for that atrocious etch or the mutant shield.
 
I am with you--I don't care for the blue at all. Neither do I like red or green.

I don't like it when GEC does it either. Burnt is great, untorched is great, the amber stuff is ok, blue, green, red, purple, chartreuse, whatever, I don't care for.

Well,it's what was already stated.Case will make ANY ugly azz knife you want if you order 5000 and pay them money do do it.Cant blame them for being good American capitalist business people.Especially in these thin times.This was a SMKW Special Edition,special order,Limited or whatever you call them.It may have been the boss's idea and nobody wanted to say, no boss that friggin think is ugly and a waste of good stag.As for the blade etch and shield,I didnt even notice how awful it was until it was pointed out here.Yea,its sure to be a rare collectable because nobody is going to actually purchase these.:)
 
SMKW does seem to like to feature some ugly special run knives. Kind of discount store chic as opposed to the generally classier offerings of say, Shepherd Hills. Though I've seen a few there that make me wonder.

Can't blame Case for providing what the paying customer (sure hope SMKW paid for those), but we can question SMKW for actually wanting, and offering, the things. ;)
 
I do like the shield. The blue is off putting, never liked blue on bone either. Maybe Case had some stag that was bleached or lacked color and decided to make a run of it. Maybe they were offered the contract and needed the work. Different strokes

It is unique though
 
It just makes me Blue.:(

But Case Red Stag makes me happy!!:D
