A couple years ago it seems like the Case/Bose Collabs were all the rage. These days I don't see many people on the forum talking about them. Anyone still have any that are in your rotation as users? I've been through several but I'm down to only my Tribal Spear. I've had a few that I do regret selling. There was the last Norfolk that I still wonder why I sold it.

I have carried mine, but not so often. Its a little heavy for what its worth IMHO. LOVE the knife though. I do use it from where it sits on round tray. Most often I pocket it into the woods :)
 
I just picked this up but it will definitely be part of my workweek rotation.

I carry this Norfolk from time to time. I'm not hard on my knives at all so I don't have to worry too much about getting it all buggered up.

I carry my tribal spear and Lanny's clip often, great knives.

An ebony Norfolk finds its way into my pocket frequently.
 
I carry my Norfolk pretty regularly to work, as it is small and unoffensive, especially the wharncliffe blade. The Lanny's Clip goes with me to Scouts and on weekends. I just got a Coffin Jack, it hasn't made it into a regular rotation yet but I love the knife, perfect size for my pocket. When I want a spear main I find myself grabbing my GEC Boy's Jack more often, the Nifebrite handles make me smile.

Don't worry, Tom! They see a lot of pocket time :)

my tribal spear is used regularly, though its the most expensive knife I own, fortunately it doesn't have to work too hard, I did leave it on the kitchen table one time and came back to find my flatmate using it to cut a metal cap of a wine bottle...it came very close to being used in a homicide shortly thereafter :) ...the blade was unscathed and just needed a light sharpen fortunately.

I carry my 2004 Muskrat. I'll be carrying the hell out my 2013 3.5" wharncliffe trapper(s) when I get it (them).
 
I carried a dogleg jack for quite some time. Still my favorite C/B collab.
Lately, to me, the yearly offerings have been somewhat boring. And really getting overpriced.
Still nice knives though.
 
These two have seen pocket time and are still in my rotation case but I've been focusing on carbon steel and 2 blade knives for a while now. I'm really anxious for the 2013 WT though.

I carry the dogleg jack and tribal spear when the inclination strikes.

Lovin' all the pics of the Tribal Spear! So tempting... must be strong... already know where I can order one... :thumbup::D

I have a Coffin Jack that I like very much and carry it frequently. The quality matches the price tag, imo...

Carried this whittler a bit. It's a tour de force but a little larger than I prefer. Looking forward to the 2013.

I have a Yukon Jack (orange bone), an Arkansas Hunter, Norfolk whittler and Tribal Spear (all in ebony.) I carry them on a regular basis.

The Yukon Jack is heavy and the Norfolk small, so they see less pocket time. The Yukon, Hunter and Spear all see kitchen duty and do quite well. My favorite in the kitchen is the Hunter and Yukon, due to their bigger size. The Tribal Spear is a great size for the pocket. The Norfolk is a little small for me, but I love it's perfection :) and carry it with a larger more modern knife.

I had a problem with the AK hunter, one scale came up a little after lots of wet kitchen duty on a humid August day. Case fixed it and fedexed it back.

I dropped the AK hunter on concrete while sampling barbecue, so there is a dent in the bolster. I smoothed it out with some 400 grit paper. You can take scratches off the bolsters with about 400/600 grit. The shields are nickle silver (except for bone handles ones) and can be readily shined up with flitz. I give the ebony an occasional wax job.

Thanks for the side by side picture Vance. I was looking at the Lanny's clip, but now that I see it is the same size as the tribal spear, I probably won't get it. I love the tribal spear so much, I don't think the Lanny would be appreciated :)
 
I have been known to carry the Norfolk and dogleg quite a bit.
