My baby turned 2 and we had a family birthday party for her tonight. At the gift opening I was using my Case yellowhandle med. stockman CV. My oldest daughter was working on a package and asked for the knife. She's 14 and loves my CV knives. Anyway, she was having a little trouble and my brother in law was close to her. She gave him my yellowhandle to help. He looks at it in amazement. Tells her it has to be as old as him...36. She says nope. She tells him its a different type of steel than he is used to seeing. It changes colors with use and age.
She then spins around and tells me to explain it. I just explained it was a Carbon steel blade and not stainless that he is accustom to seeing. I also tell him its only 3 yrs old. I show him the same knife in never used condition. So as he looks it over in amazement...he then comes to a revelation. That knife should last forever. Its a good old Chase. Needless to say, I didn't correct him. I let it go. My little Chase made a lot of new friends tonight.
