I am interested in seeing some fixed blades from Case. I love Case knives but I am getting a little bored with the folders. Lets see what you guys have....
 
I got this little fella right after Christmas. A surprisingly useful small knife. Easy to get scary sharp as well. I look forward to using it in my outdoor adventures this spring.

 
Here's an older one I picked up at an estate sale.

And here's a modern fixed blade from them as well.

There's something about that older model... so much character. There's nothing wrong with the fit of the new production, but they didn't pay much attention to the blade edge - it's a bit coarse.
 
I had use of this Case 365-5 for the fall hunting season in 2013 (to write a review as part of a "knife pass" on another forum). I liked the knife, the factory edge had been retouched by the time I got the knife - it was excellent as was edge retention, the roughed leather handle gripped well, the 5" blade length was too long for my taste in cleaning a typical Whitetail deer. Same knife in a 3-1/2" or 4" blade I would buy. OH
