It is growing more and more.

Have you ever seen a knife online and thought that is nice? I want one. Then you ge it and it is a let down? Not what you where expecting? But then the more you look at it the more and more you like it. To the point of almost being a favorite? Well that is the case for me on this knife. Case Copperhead William Russell Case Chestnut Jigged Bone. Every time I look at it I like it more and more. And since I have photographed it, that has helped me see the beautiful detail of color of the chestnut bone. Maybe it is some of being a trained photographer helps me see things more in pictures than the real thing. I don't know. But I wanted to share these photo's again and ask, what knife has grown on you?

I think I need to do some different types of photo's with this one. Get some different views and details. I will have to work on it.


Thanks for looking,


Bill

Great pics... I have a soft spot for Copperheads.
The only knife I can remember buying that I wasn't real excited about, was an older Schrade 34OT I got for 10 bucks at a pawn shop.
After I got it home and gave it a good cleaning and found out just how sharp those old carbon blades would get, I really grew attached to it...
That was probably about 5 years ago, and it still sees a fair amount of pocket time.

Bone and shield are very welcoming,just don't much like blade etches.Böker do those the most tastefully if you have to have them.

I agree. I would like to not have the blade etchings as well. But that is the way they come.

If it's a user, I'd work the etch off with emery cloth, finer & finer grits until the etch is gone, and the finish on the etch side matches the pile side. I work all the etches off my blades; for most of them you can't even tell they were etched.

my peanut was that way... I ordered it expecting the color from the dealers images... or at least close, as would be expected.. Nope. Nadda. It was a LOT darker, and 90% one color, as opposed to the 60/40 variences of all the ones I'd seen shown online. Heck of a let down.

Then I realized just how gorgeous it was in its own right... a fabulous color, with is own slight shading.. It has become one of my highest regaurded knives for color and jig, and is my 'one' knife now that I've learned to trust and love the pattern.

I like that Copperhead. I was like that with my orange G-10 Case Seahorse Whittler. I looked at pics of it & thought...nice, then when I got it, I thought it's too big & the main Wharncliffe blade is too short. Well, after carrying it around & using it for awhile, I have to admit, it's a very nice EDC knife. The 4" handle, which I thought initially to be too big, is nice to hold onto. The just over 2" blade, which I thought was too short for a knife its size, now seems just right. Oh well.
