I love Case knives. I have a small collection seeing as my place was broken into and I'm only starting new 4 months ago. I don't know how to upload my pictures. My most recent purchase was a Case 25 cent knife.

I agree with you on that one-- the clarity of the older shields points up the relative 'fussiness' of the newer ones.

Here's my own happy selection:

A certain theme emerges....

Case's mediterranean is in my sweet spot for "blue."


Case's navy blue is also mighty fine:

Chestnut swayback jack:

Mini Copperlock:

A red congress whittler from Duncan:

And finally, one of my favorite photographs of ever (mini copperhead):

Beautiful collection

Really sorry to hear that your house was broken into. Good luck building your new collection.

This one is only about 25 years old. But I still like it.



This was a Christmas present in 2020. Only good thing about the whole year. Need a better/smaller belt pouch for it.

Case's Winterbottom jigging is some of my favorite

Most of the Buck 110 clones look so much like a Buck you need to read the tang stamp. The Case Hammerhead and Case Mako had a unique STYLE, they really look like a product of the 1970’s. The Case Hammerhead is a pretty good working knife too. The blade etch on yours looks nice, mine is very faded but the knife is still tight and holds a fine edge. OH

I picked up a Case XX Hammerhead 5159 LSSP this past week for a few bucks due to it being corroded around the ends and someone tried to buff blade and needs to stay away from a buffer till they learn more about it....Long story short I was able to clean the green corroded ends and rest of knife so it is decent.
Are there many Mako collectors out here? What's your take on collecting these?

@BladeOwner72 I don’t collect Case Hammerhead’s or Mako’s per se, but rather use and collect Case knives in general. You could definitely build a nice collection around either one or both, they are excellent knives and have been around long enough to have plenty of variety to make chasing them worthwhile. I would think a focus on the large Case Lockbacks would make a fine and interesting collecting theme. OH

Tribals are nice knives, big, but not too big, and easy to carry. Yours has great color.

Leaving shortly for another eye procedure, won't need much of a knife this afternoon, so I'm carrying this "not much of a knife" Case 63027 - actually a pretty well made penknife. OH
