Omk well i recently won the giveaweay that Todd was doing. ALl i had to do was guess his favorite christmas carol. So he had a 1974 Case 6 dot 31SAB CV. This knife came to me with factory grinds and all that wonderful stuff. Now first off id like to say...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TODD!!!! i am extremly excited witht his knife. my first "older" Case knife and its a beauty. SO anywho, i dont do safe queens. never have never will. If i get a knife im gonna use it no matter what. so i took the blade to my stone, sharpened it up to slice newspaper and let me just say this...man its a tank. 7/10 for spring strength, half stops, mirror polish, no bladeplay or gaps, and a saber grind. looks alot like the arkansas hunter to me. anyway ive been carrying it around since i got it and i do love it. would just like to once again say thanks todd. this is a great knife and i promise you that it has a loving home and will be treated with respect. pics to come if i can find a decent digi camera to borrow.
