Nice job. I really like the blue bone knives case does. Yours is a beautiful example.

Why thank you! That's quite a compliment, considering that this knife has had multiple encounters with sandpaper to remove dried superglue back when it was my model-building knife. You can see the scratches on the blades and bolsters.

Have you tried using acetone? It will clean up the superglue, but I don't know how it might react with the bone and/or dye. Probably would un-glue a glued-in shield if not used with care.

I hadn't thought to try acetone. I've seen the stuff melt through insulation foam before, so I would be hesitant to try it on anything nonmetal. Anyway, the sandpaper got the glue off and I don't use this knife for building models anymore.

Welcome to the group!

Thanks, guys. Been reading this thread for a while, had to post a picture. what do you think about the ss peanuts? Seems like the cv steel is more popular.

I'm more of a fan of the CV steel but the canyon burnt amber ss hasnt left my pocket since I got it and I dont see it getting kicked out anytime soon

The yellow peanut I have has the ss blades. It was mye first peanut, so its a little bit special to me. Even if the snap isn't as crisp as the Chestnut one. But I like the patina the cv gets.

I like the CV because it is easy to sharpen and can get a nice patina, but most of my knives are SS. If I like a particular Case knife, I'll buy it regardless of the blade steel.

Agreed

Case CV is very limited in the scale colors and materials available. My feeling is the CV is oriented toward the most serious knife users, like most in this forum, which is probably a small segment of their sales. Pure collectors want stainless so their collections don't tarnish in storage. Average users want stainless because they don't want to maintain their knives. You can see this on websites where users give the lowest rating because their CV knife rusted on them. I wish the patterns I like came in both CV and SS for all scale types, but that's not feasible from a business perspective for Case.

I would love to see some kind of custom order option from case. I understand not wanting to make a ton of CV choices but it's also kinda unfair that the CV fans get 4 handle choices and that's it

That's a great idea. Buck has a custom shop where you can customize certain knives the way you like. Unfortunately Buck has suspended the US made 300 series and they are not available for customization. I read something in the Buck forum that they are retooling the US 300 series and it should come back sometime in the future. If they offer a custom 302, I'm all over it!
