What are your experiences with this knife. I got a Case exxchanger for a 10 year anniversary award from my company. I thought it would be pretty nice, but I guess I am spoiled on BM and Spyderco fit and finish.
Things I noticed on mine:
Blades polished so much the all of the grind definition is blurred. All of the blades look like a Taiwanese flea market special
Dull as the proverbial froe
Brass bolster polished so hard that where the big steel pivot shows, it stands proud and there is a little "sand dune" of brass where the pivot shielded that part of the bolster from the buffer.
Heavy as sin
The narrow blade doesnt have a nail nick, which you really need with the strength of backspring on this knife
Bunch of blade play, which I kind of expected with the balde changing system
The sheath would comfortably hold a blackboard eraser, the knife just rattles around in there.
Maybe I am too particular for a knife that goes for ~60 on E-bay, but I thought that this would be one of Case's higher end knives and would be a bit better.
