Case is really stepping up its game if the last two knives I bought are any indication - this Texas Jack dressed in Olive Green Bone that I got today, and previously a Chestnut Bone CV Peanut. F & F is excellent on both: blades centered in the liners or only a hair off, no blade wobble, springs flush open & closed, nice smooth blade pull, even blade grinds that shaved arm hair out of the box. I don't know what more you can ask of a production knife!

The pinched, threaded bolsters are a nice touch, and I love the modified pen blade - kind of a cross between a traditional pen blade and a wharncliffe. No, you won't mistake it for a true wharncliffe, but it's no ordinary pen blade either. :thumbup:

The jury (me) is still out as to whether I like this color or not. The first pic comes closest to capturing the true color - the last two were taken outside under rainy, overcast conditions and appear to be more amber than green - don't believe them. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how it ages - I'm guessing it will be just fine. ;)

That one is on my short list of production slippies to buy between now and end of year. My list has had to be pared back a bit, but this one made the cut.

That one looks great to me. This jury likes it.

that looks like a real winner to me.... i especially like the pen blade and bolsters :thumbup:
 
As you know, I like this pattern and bone colour:thumbup:

My knife seems rather darker than yours but variations always occur. Consider how CASE Amber Bone and Chestnut varies.

The build quality is wonderful and the price is right in my view.
 
I love Case's Texas Jacks. It was an antique store find for a 6244 pattern that got me hooked on collecting seriously. I was carrying it last week. It has a wide shallow bevel on it because I was not paying attention on my Lansky device. (No longer use Lansky). When I look at the mistake I made, I tell myself, "CJ, pay attention, focus."

I have acquired another small TJ, but want a full size one as well, maybe 2.

Thanks for the pics.
