Case

Thank you to all who have shared their knowledge here!

I just stopped by to see what folks said about the cool looking Case in the photo, and didn't expect getting an education on celluloid decomposition and the parties involved in the Case Classics line.

None of this pertains to my current collection, however it will now be stored forever in the data banks when looking for new additions.

To the OP, I thank you for sharing this, and I really hope it all works out well. It is a very nice knife, and I can see why you bought it.

I'm glad this spiraled out the way it did.

I had no idea all the history behind Case knives and particularly the material in mine.

I'll post a pic when it arrives

Case Classics 'Glitter Stripe' whittler pattern, 1990s vintage, I think.

Here's an update now that it's arrived. Pretty cool to have the original box and little paper.

It's a bit bigger than I'd hoped, so I may just sell it.

Anyhow, pics below;

Take a look at the bolster on the left, it looks like the scales might be in the beginning stages out gassing. They had problems with that material on the Case Classics.
Just keep an eye on it and isolate it from your other knives.

Looks like it's beyond the beginning stages.
Afraid you are going to have to make some decisions. Keeping it mint and as-is does not appear to me to be one of your options.
 
I would store that away from all other knives. It will affect every one that is near. Its a time bomb!
 
Cool. That's what I would do. :thumbup:
It is new. At least it looks new to me. New- as in unused. It does have damage though and will continue to get worse.
