Let's see your Traditional Case knives, old to new.

Case Old to New; two blade 32s (or medium Texas Jacks)
The older one is a 2014 Amber Bone and my newest Case; a NOS Chestnut Bone from 1999

I've posted the canoe here before, but not the barlow. Both have factory edges,well I've touched up the canoe a couple times on a ceramic rod. Even though fairly pristine examples I've decided that both will be carried and used. I tend to appreciate them more from use than merely looking at them.
Edit: wanted to add canoe is a 7 dot,the barlow a 9 dot
 
I picked this up at Zippo-Case in Bradford, PA yesterday. We stopped on our way home from Pittsburgh. It's always enjoyable wandering through the museum too.
I like this little Baby Butterbean, also known as a Baby Canoe. It has a little blade rub, which is pretty common on a single spring knife. Other than that it's a nice example of the pattern. Perfect for the watch pocket.

That yellow Stockman #3318 is like a magnet. I keep coming back to look at it. I got tired of doing that so I just ordered one. Now in a few days, I can look at my own.Thanks for the nudge.

You bet :) It's a fun knife, I think you will like it. I do!
 
I've been wanting to get a Case muskrat for quite a while, so when I saw this one I couldn't resist. It's a 2012, Truesharp stainless, blade centering is about perfect, and no blade rub. No box, but otherwise it is like new -- even had the factory burr on the blades. :p A few passes on a ceramic rod to get rid of the burr and it is as sharp as any Case I've ever seen. The factory grind is nice and symmetric, too. There is a crack at one of the pins but I don't think that will be an issue -- looks worse on camera than in person. I can tell the crack was there before the final polishing was done. Took me a while to figure out the bone color. I had about given up when one last search turned up Deep Canyon Jigged Calypso Bone. Very unique appearance. Fits nice and snugly in a Case horizontal belt sheath, too.

I was in such a rush to take pictures that I didn't wipe the fingerprints off! The color is so unique that I photographed it on a neutral gray card so I could make sure that I got the white balance correct.
