Case Collectors

[Jared Clinger]

Are there any other Case knife collectors on here? I love old Buck, Boker, and Case knives. I carry one of them every day. Are there any other nice ones I’m missing out on?

I hate to do this to you my friend, but try a GEC or Great Eastern Cutlery.

I'm sorry.

I’ll have to get a couple. I’m one of those guys who can’t just buy one.

Tons. They mostly hangout in the Traditional forum.

I’m just finding my way around the site. That’s my new favorite page! Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums. I don't how you feel about the "modern" slipjoint knives. Slip joint knives that utilize modern steel and sometimes modern handle materials. Check out CK.

I have a bunch of Case, but this guy is my favorite, the Hobo pattern is a fine addition to a traditional collection!

I have more Case than any other brand. GEC are nice but at this point in the game unless you like waiting years for the possibility of a pattern or configuration you want to come around then chasing after stupid drops or paying 3-5x the original price on the aftermarket, they're not worth the trouble to me.

Let's move this to the Traditional Forum instead of in General. Lots of Case lovers there.

Personally, I have about a dozen or so Case knives. Some of them are easily equal to GEC in build and finish. All of them are worth what I paid for them. They get carried on occasion.

Welcome! Jump right in - there are two great ongoing Case threads on this subforum. Most ot the Case collectors display and discuss their Case Knives there. I’ve found out about cool handle options by following those threads. OH

Are there any other nice ones I’m missing out on?

Most assuredly. I, for one, have a soft spot for Otter Messer.

Trappers, mini-Trappers, most Sowbelly and Stockman knives not shown.

Good luck. Some releases sell out in under 3 minutes, according to what some here are saying in the "LETS TALK GEC" thread.
You might find one in the Marketplace here, for a descent price.
ePrey and the All About ... site generally has some ... at highly inflated prices.

GEC does make a good knife. There is no question about that. Unfortunately, they don't make enough during any one run to meet demand, unless it is a Forum Knife.
