I just wanted to share some pics of my latest knives. Last week I was able to score both a Case/Tony Bose 62048 and T.B621999, the original '99 Slimline Trapper with Chestnut bone scales/ATS-34 blades and the new Slimline Trapper with Dark Molasses bone scales/Damascus blades. Nice bone on both. The jigging is sharper on the chestnut. The molasess has more of the "pocket worn" feel. The molasses is slightly thicker than the chestnut. All blades were sharp but could use some stropping and some tip work. Good walk and talk on all the blades. Fit and finish on the molasses is better. The clip blade is slightly proud when closed, blades close center, and narry a gap. The knife seems to be more polished and be more rounded at the edges. Unforunately, the chestnut bone has some gaps at the pivot which gives the blades some side to side play. They're also not centered, to the point where they'll hit the line if I'm not careful closing them.
For those of you who have worked with Case on warranty issues, is this something they can fix?
