Case canoe questions

[Bungwrench]

I just wondered if the Case Canoes have one or two backsprings? I know that the Queens have one. Do they all have just one across the board?

Also, do they stack up well against Queen Canoes? I would like to buy a Case Canoe but I have never had one.

The only Case Canoe I own has two backsprings. I've never had a Queen Canoe, but the Case is a good piece, fit and finish is good, blades have good snap, no blade rub.

Case has twin backsprings. I have the amber bone CV one. Springs are stronger than the couple of queens I have - more snap. The main blade is ground thinner that the queens and takes a killer edge.

Overall, the Case is every bit as slim and pocketable as the queen, but the bolsters aren't as smoothly rounded off as the queen or the older Cases.

Case uses two thin backsprings that actually seem thinner than single backspring Canoe patterns.
