Case XX and a new scale material Dichrolam

[madcap_magician]

I believe the inventor, John Blazy, has been posting about it here since he first made it. The stuff is pretty cool. He has been making it for custom knife makers and instrument makers for a bit. Glad to see it got picked up by a manufacturer!

I'd like something a bit more restrained....like just two colors. That Case trapper looks like a peacock. A bit too wild for my taste.

Wild is good, where I come from. May they pull out all the stops.

Depending on what they use, I'm in. Some of the stuff on the material's website is really nice looking....

 

[Stelth]

I liked what I saw on their website much better than what was on the Case knife.

Will be looking for reports on scratch resistance.

The thing is if I read the website correctly, is the colors change and would look totally different from a different point of view. I like it, I like that something new is coming along.

Thanks Man!! Apparently Case thinks its worth moving forward beyond the pilot run, because I'm in the middle of an 18,500 pc order.

Fabulous news John! I expect they will fly off the shelves. You probably cannot say too much but it was good to hear something brand new is coming down the pipe.

Slowly, but surely, its being accepted - being "something new" is both good and bad, since its quite trippy as others have said, but its definitely not mistaken for anything else out there.

Case has released a line of knives using what they call "Rustic Red Richlite", which they say is a type of "paper composite material" used in the aerospace industry in the 1940's.... I assume this is not the new dichloram stuff.... it looks like micarta to me....

Looks like we are getting close on these new covers. Saw them today in a Coming Soon.

I like that a-lot, I will have to order one when they are available.

I kind of like it. I like acrylics, and this stuff seems pretty cool.

That red looks a lot like curly/flamed maple...I'll take one in yellow/brown please

 

[Carboniferous]

Very interesting looking stuff. Reminds me of labradorite or abalone, bright sheen and iridescent play of color. Would love to see how it's made, and on a small gentleman's folder I think it'd look great.

Looks like they’re getting closer to production. Few patterns I’m being tempted by.

I like bright colors so might have to order one of those. I will for sure if they do a Sod Buster.
