Case's new Rogers Jigged Walnut Bone

That's gorgeous, Alan! I rarely carry a Stockman as all of my examples are on the larger end with very proud sheepsfoot blades. That little 63090 might be able to convert me, though!
 
Thanks Shawn. Nice size clip main, a lot of knife in a smaller classy package.

DADPOOL GIVE ME THAT BOOK!!! I've been looking around for the last two or three(can't recall) in that series for 15 years. Oh yeah, nice knives everyone, love the 3-ring bolsters. Do they have it in a '47? Have to check. Now-DADPOOL!!! Seriously, don't make me come and get them😎😁👍👍👍🙄
Thanks, Neal
Ps Lin Carter is under-appreciated 😥

This past Monday I stopped by the Case Knife dealer in Selma on my way home from Fort Bragg. The owner was opening a box of knives from Case; she had several patterns handled in the new Walnut Rodgers jigged bone; Peanuts, the 90 Med Stockman, the Mini-Copperlock, and I believe a 47 pattern Stockman (could have been an 18, I didn't look it over as I was wanting a Peanut.) The threading is a very nice touch. I think the bone jigging and color is quite similar to the better 1970's Case offerings and I also believe that Case will sell a lot of these if they widen the line - SO much better than all the "Easter Egg" colors of the last 20 years. Even the lightest ones were nice looking, some are darker on one side than the other, just like many 1970's Case I've seen. I'll probably pick up a 90 on my next trip south. OH

That Small Stockman in this bone is exquisite! Just hope my internet supplier will get some in as getting knives in Europe can be an, er, long term project....
 
I just got my 63090 - new pattern for me. I like this one. Case didn't buff out the point of the clip blade; the covers pretty much match (I've had a few that were grossly different in the past). I think Case has stepped up their game. Two thumbs up. :thumbup::thumbup:


 
OH, Alan and Dean, good looking knives, gents! The color looks great on them! Thanks for sharing!
 
Yah that '90 is sure purty! I wish we had at least a silver level dealer closer than an hour away. Used to be an outlet for one of the major distributors about thirty minutes outside of town, had every line ,all the Bose yearly knives, you name it, but I believe that they just didn't do enough biz and closed that store. Oh well, that's what pics are for right? ;)

Ps oh yeah GBR!

That's outstanding, Old Hunter!!! :thumbup: I finally got a chestnut bone CV Peanut that I've been considering for ages, and now I'll have to start thinking about whether to go for this jigged walnut bone. (I'm afraid I know what the answer's gonna be!)

Just received the Case 63090 Walnut Bone and it is one sweet knife. The F&F and the W&T are near perfect. It is on a par with all but customs. If the covers were truly upscale there would be no difference. Pull on the main clip is about 4-5 and 5-6 on the secondaries. Color is matched on the mark and pile side with feathering towards lighter as you go to the bolster. It's not as dramatic a difference as in my photo. That's just from the lighting and editing. Sunken joints and very classy. It will definitely enter my rotation, albeit with something a little more substantial. Buy it, you'll like it.
Will post a compare photo with the Humpback Stockman next.

Congrats, Alan, that knife is superb! :thumbup:

Here it is with the Humpback Stockman. Oh BTW, be careful it doesn't like small spaces. Bit me bad jumping out of its box!

Thanks for the helpful comparison shots, Alan! :cool:

Here ya go Brett. What do you think of modding the spey into a pen? I don't know if it's been discussed before, but I'm curious as to why Case only does their jigged bone in the center section and not end to end.

I never should have read this thread. I had wanted to get an 090 stockman a while back but put it in my someday list. This one knocked me over the edge. I've got one on order now. This'll be my 29th stock knife - sheesh! :rolleyes:

:D:D What's that old saying, Dean? "30th time is a charm"??

They jig the bone in large flat slabs. Then they are cut down to individual knife sizes. At that point they are jigged evenly all the way to the edges. It is the process of buffing and polishing the bone down to match the height of the bolsters that removes the jigging near the ends. Some slabs are a little thinner so less jigging has to be removed. Sometimes they are a little thicker so only the jigging in the middle survives (and the handles are overall a little thicker).

John, is that buffing to match thickness of bolsters also the reason so many bone covers have lighter (or even no) color near the bolsters compared to the middle of the knife??

Thanks GT, for those that like a smaller knife, it is hard to beat. A real pearl.

My Walnut 090 should be in my hands tomorrow. Already fighting the urge for a 090 in Harvest Orange and a Walnut Peanut.

:o
 
That's the first thing really exciting I've seen from Case in some time. I really like that equal-end pattern, and if the bone is anything like Old Hunter's peanut, it's on my Wanted list. :thumbup:
 
Carrying my small Stockman today, really impressed with this series fit and finish. In fact today I ordered several more for Christmas gifts.

I had a Caribbean Blue 090 a few years ago, but I lost it at work. Need to get another. They are very nicely built and super pocket friendly with the round ends, barely know it's there with even thin lightweight clothing. Equal ends are in my list of best liked patterns.
