That amber bone I showed above is a flawless example - silky smooth action, easy to open, no play, solid lock-up, good fit and finish. I bought it directly from a respected collector of that particular pattern through another forum so I knew I was getting a good one.
The blue bone version was from Collectorknives.net, purchased NIB and really nothing wrong with it other than the color not being one of my favorites. At the time I bought it, Case hadn't made the drop-point version and I wanted one as a potential carry knife, so I kind of went with what was left in stock.
I just prefer the lower profile of the clip blade, especially when closed, over the drop point. The actual profile of the cutting edge itself is very similar, but I like a point for occasional piercing cuts. If you can get past the admittedly odd appearance, it makes a pretty decent one-hand-opening locking slipjoint.
Once you get used to the motion required to open it, you can flick them open pretty quickly one-handed, and even close them one-handed without much extra effort.
