Dear Case, will you build me a....

I would also like to see them offer a 6265 in cv. Everybody needs one of those.
 
split backspring medium sized congress whittler in stag with cv blades and pins & liners in a "silver" metal rather than brass. Excuse me, I will need a moment alone now.
 
Pretty close to wudnme, but I would prefer a serpentine handle(I'ld buy the congress though) and brass liners etc is fine with me.

#1. A 4" length mid-sized folding hunter, a two bladed traditional slipjoint 2 bladed folding hunter, NOT the liner lock pocket clipped oddly bladed mid-size they are making currently. They could use the liner stamp pattern that is currently being used on the mid folding hunter, along with the current bolster and scale setup, but would require new blades to be designed. I like the German copperhead patterns, but they are a bit too small at 3-3/4", while the old full sized folding hunter at 5-1/4" is pretty large. Rough Rider brand has one about the right size at 4'', but I looked at some at Smokey Mountain Knife works, not the level of craftsmanship that I am interested in.

#2. A #5394 1/2 or 6394 1/2 cattlemen's knife, a 4-1/4'' equal end jumbo stockman for all purposes. The newest "94" pattern is the gunboat canoe. I like the old "94'' straight equal end whopper, BUT with the clip point main blade (1/2 pattern designation), NOT the swedged spear point blade like the gunboat and the non 1/2 pattern older 94's had. I owned a gunboat for about two weeks, tried to like it, but could find little use for the big blunt spear point blade. Fine for some folks, useless to me. Again from the Germans I have a Hen and Rooster cattle knife, 4-1/4", that Case could have built for me. But the older cattle knife "94" has been out of production for many years.

#3. Offer the leather handled hunter fixed blades in CV steel or possibly in ATS 34 or 440C, whichever is easiest to get and work with. I like the old leather handled patterns, especially the MFinn and Finn, but for rough job hunting stuff, I'd like to see better steel than Tru Sharp's 420HC. I have seen some plastic handled brush finish ATS 34 Hunters in the Shephard Hills catalog, so I know Case can make these things. They just haven't.

I'm fairly happy with most of the patterns and materials that Case offers, aside from a few specialty items like I mentioned above. AND they need to open a custom shop. I'd bet they could stay very busy filling orders from folks who want something a bit different than what is cataloged in larger numbers, but wouldn't be profitable to market to the masses. Knife Knuts would be willing to pay more for specialty knives than standard cataloged items, and collectibility would be high on one offs and low production items too.

Just some ideas from an old Alabama country guy. :D
 
Phil I would also like to see the 94 pattern come back in several blade and scale options.
 
LOL, I just want to find a Halloween copperlock for less than 150.00! But as for the fantasy question, a large damascus stockman with stag would be nice!
 
6245PU in CV with red winterbottom scales! Long pull, cut swedge main, Alvord punch.
Not yer run of the mill Harness Jack!
 
Three blade, full size (4") trapper, all CV blades: Clip, Spey, and Wharncliff. Scales in 6.5 bone stag, square bolsters.

If Case made one, I'd buy it the minute I saw it available.

thx - cpr
