I've been thinking about gettin one of these and was looking for some opinions about the knife. Looks like a classic styled knife with a lock and a reasonable price.
 
Great classic lock back. Thinner than it looks with a stout lock great blade shape. the only complaint I have is the thickness of the blade. It needs a thick blade like the Seahorse whittler (now that is thick for a slip) But if the blade thickness doesn't bother you then go for it.
 
I only have a couple of case knives. One of the must have's for me was the Copperlock. Just a great pattern.
 
I've got a yellow handle CV Mini Copperlock. It's a great little knife. Thin but sturdy. Smooth flowing lines both open and closed. I love the blade shape, looks like a mini Bowie. It cuts well and it is easy to sharpen.
 
I have several Copperlocks. They are okay and are about the nicest looking Case knives (in my opinion). This may be sacrilegious to some, but I am not overly impressed with the workmanship on the Case knives I own (all bought new). I had an issue with one of my knives and I sent Case's customer service dept an email asking about the knife. They never responded.

I have been much more impressed with the Queen & Schatt & Morgan (Queen) lockbacks that I own. I really like my ATS-34 bladed model, which is pictured below.

I have one. Fit and finish are good, and it's a great design (I love that clip blade). Too bad the steel is crap. I'd give a lot to have a 440C Copperlock, not to mention some of the pricier super steels.
