I was just on a popular Case dealers site and saw that they now have a soddie jr. In chestnut bone and CV. Looks like it might be a good one.
 
Saw that too. What a neat combination of scales and blade material. I wish they made more combinations with CV steel, but I'm guessing most non-Bladeforum type folks just want stainless/TruSharp as there is no care needed (wiping your blade off if cutting an apple for instance).

Blade Forums type folk are the only ones that want Carbon Steel blades? Are you serious?

Well you couldn't be more wrong just spend some time reading in the traditional subforum & you'll see what we like. There are entire threads dedicated to showing off our patinas.

jkulysses, that's what ilmonster "IS" saying. NON bladeforum people are happy with stainless and Bladeforum folk prefer carbon.

That's how I interpret it anyways?

However I feel there's allegiances to both steels. I definitely like carbon myself,,,

But ilmonster is STILL wrong. Lots and lots of people like Carbon Steel blades and have never heard of Blade Forums.

Not that I totally disagree but Case makes and sells FAR more of the stainless models it seems. I have relatives in TN that are big pocketknife users and they dont pay that much attention to the steel type. They just buy them and use the heck out of em. Also since the percentage of CV models that case makes is much smaller than the TS stuff Im guessing they are doing so the market to their biggest consumer, the collector.

I would really like to know of the CV steel costs case more than the True Sharep. I really cant believe that unless its a quantity thing. They just buy so much more True Sharp so the CV runs a little higher.
 
There are enough people that like CV, for Case to make more patterns available in CV over the last couple years. So it's definitely not just those of us here, cuz we are a small percentage of their sales...

I don't believe that Collectors are the biggest market for any knife manufacturer. Collectors are obviously a big market for Custom Makers.

Chestnut Bone, one of the best from CASE. Now if they would only offer the Pen-knife in this bone or Amber bone for instance......

This version of the Sodbuster is likely to be popular with a lot of people, not surprising either!:thumbup:

You are right! I need to start reading posts 2 or 3 times before I post first thing in the mornings. Foot in mouth. :D
 
Well, the pic I saw of the Chestnut Bone Soddie Jr. shows a good looking knife. I was hoping inside it was going to be a Smooth Chestnut Bone which has come to be a favorite since the Mini-Trapper in said scales carved out a daily place in my pocket. Figuratively carved, otherwise it would have hurt and the knife would have been evicted.

I've since picked up a Canoe and a Medium Stockman in Smooth Chestnut. But... maybe my Yellow Delrin Soddie Jr. (Case, of course) would make room for a stable mate so a Jigged Chestnut could move in.

No issues here my friend, I had to read it three times before I could process it myself :p

Love that dye job on the nut :thumbup:

It appears Case used the Standard jigging pattern based on the photos I have seen. Is this correct from those that have acquired one?
 
I like the looks of this one. It's geared towards the enthusiast rather than collector. Most "collectors" I know want to be able to keep everything as pristine as possible, CV doesn't aid in that. The enthusiast like myself, derives enjoyment from using their knives, and is not overly concerned about wear from use. I'm glad to see Case making more useable knives, rather than narrow, manufactured, collectables. I'm tired of all of this 1 of 500 "limited edition" stuff. Tru-sharp is okay, but I like the performance of their CV a little better, and enjoy seeing a patina develop.

That's an interesting perspective. On the other hand I tend to collect CV models because it's less common. :)
