Case bought Timberline

[JBC6650]

I am glad to see Case has bought the Timberline line/brand of knives after Gatco went under. I have the first version of the Timberline Vallotton, from about 20 years ago and love it.

I had not heard about GATCO going under. Sad to hear, but I'm glad the assets weren't cut with the company. Now what I'm curious about is what Case will do with Timberline, because they catered heavily to the tactical market, which Case has almost no involvement with.

Never heard of them, but I'm glad to hear that they were acquired by zippo.
