Looks great.. That would be a lot of fun doing the tour, even better if you can do your own knife..

Field Trip!!!! :thumbup:

That's what I was thinking!

We'll all carpool from each state and go make our free knives. I'll pitch in $20 for gas, that'll be what two gallons.

Nice knife, and glad to know that the people at Case are friendly. Now I know that my knife buying will support a good bunch of people and not just my temporary fix .

You mentioned that the factory is angled towards speed of production, well this all goes to show that the CASE workers put together a really fine knife day in day out under considerable time pressure.Congratulations to them all:thumbup:

And that swedge you put on it Knifehead,makes it a real treat,fine bone choice too.

 

[Sword and Shield]

Just thought of what mine would be...

Either a stag or bonestag Moose in CV.

You know Kerry.....you ALWAYS seem to receive the special treatment when you travel with Tony Bose. I don't think every Joe Blow that comes through the plant actually gets to make a knife. If they did, Case would not be able to sell any knives Just sayin.....You lucky lil DOG you.....

Thanks for all the nice comments folks. I do appreciate the fact that this was a special opportunity for me. I know the standard tours that Case gives does not include making a knife. You would have to arrange that with them in advance but they are very accommodating and wonderful people to work with.

Also, the knife that you get to "make" will most likely be one that is practically finished (ready to pin, sand down, and buff) and already selected by the Case folks. You may not get to select the parts like I did but still, they do let you do the finish work on it and make it your own.

 

[Bastid]

Sure sounds like way too much fun.
Gotta be one of the nicest blades I have seen on a Case toothpick Kerry. That swedgework looks great!

 

[Foilist]

I would love to do that! Is it hard or expensive to book such a visit?

I was just on my way to the Case factory on a motorcycle trip, but a minor family emergency made me have to turn around and come back before I got there. I'll make it later this summer.
