Copperlock, Mini Copperlock, Tribal Lock...Your Preference?

The Mini is my cup of tea, it just feels right to me. Here’s mine in Amber Bone.

My vote goes to mini copperlock.I have a large copper lock that's blue bone from Lowes way back when,makes a great potato peeler/kitchen knife.But for edc my 6.5 bones tag is fantastic ,it's been in my pocket for last 3 wks.

They need wharncliffe options.

Their Burnt Indigo version is a Wharncliffe blade, available at a few dealers...

I have one arm. I collect CASEXX Tribal-lock , both Copper-locks , Russlock, and Trapper-lock knives. I did try out the new 2018 Hunter "Kick-start". The kick-start knife rattles with the blade fully opened. I sent it back to the factory and rattle is gone. I have a CASEXX Forum trapper-lock kick-start on order. I hope it does not rattle too. I believe the CASEXX Tribal-lock knife is the best value all around knife on the market.

I bought a copperlock when they were first introduced and liked it a lot. But I’m loving the mini copperlock since getting one a few months back. It disappears in my right front pocket. I’ve been carrying a stainless one and just bought a CV one in red jigged bone. It performs as good as a full size copperlock but is a much nicer carry, at least for me. I have not tried a Tribal lock.

What ever you do , never mess with Tribal-lock knives. I bought 8 of them in 5 months. You can't buy just one.

Thanks. I should have said "more" wharncliffe options.

Case needs to do a mini Tribal Lock. And/or a non-locking one.

That would be the Case "Tribal Non-Lock" model, no?

I recently bought a Tribal Lock and immediately made it my EDC knife, and it's perfect since I'm really don't require much from my everyday knife. Good to know I can pull it out anywhere without shocking people, and it will do just about everything I need from a carry knife.

Somehow that clip point on the Copperlocks just doesn't look right to me.

I've had three tribal locks and they were absolutely beautiful...love Bose designs. However, the size didn't suit me. I think if it were a bit shorter it might have been one of my favorites. The mini copperlock is just about perfect. I am a big fan of clip blades...especially with long pulls...and the size is just right. I carry it in my front or 5th pocket comfortably. I wanted a CV version and this example is wonderful.
