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

This finally arrived today. 6 days late. Spent 5.5 days in the Memphis distribution center before moving onward.

Fit and finish, walk and talk, minor daylight between springs and liners are on par with my other two Case double-blade Barlows, brown and yellow synthetic, this one has less side-to-side blade play than the other two. Needs a little cleaning to remove some gunk, and some minor wire edge removal.
Very nice, very cool pattern, glad you found one! 😎👍
How does the pile side look?

Fourth attempt. First three said they had one, I ordered, then later in the day/ first thing the next day I got the "oops" phone call and/ or email and refund. Last shop actually went to the storage room to look before they said "yes, we have one".

Pile side is almost no red. The blue and white mix together a bit more, and it almost looks pearlescent. Not a really good match to the mark side, but cool on its own for a different reason.

Going threw my safe/toy box and found I think one of the First Case knives I bought a year or two ago if my memory serves me correctly. Love the canoe pattern and the bolsters a long with these bone covers with beautiful Carmel color and wonderful jigging. Anyway pulled her out for a wipe down and a little Earl)) because when she does comes out to play she’s a working girl 😁🤭

That IS unique, persistent pays off! 👍
 
Another new arrival 👍🏻
Smooth Copperhead Peacock Appaloosa Bone.
What a beautiful knife ! No blade rub with nice action. Pins are flush as well as the bolsters the only flaw if I were to knit pick is a slight gap on the back strap. But no blade play on any blade.
Shocking the bang for the buck you get with case. This really is a beautiful knife and the covers are stunning !!

Wonderful sowbelly @Modoc ED !!! Nicest blue bone I've seen in awhile. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Here's Another Single Blade Case, this Time a Copperhead
IjD62Mj.jpg

Allow me to list some of the things that make this (new to me) Case, one great knife;
synthetic yellow 3 7/8" handle - proven tough, hand-filling and without question the quintessential Case
dog tooth shield - a welcome change from their oval
stonewashed pinch-able, 3" CV blade with half stop - pre aged goodness with great W & T, legal most everywhere
thin, sharp, and of the highest quality F & F
and of course... that fantastic copperhead - covering the tang corner while forming a useful and comfortable guard

I've always appreciated Case's Copperhead design and now with this single blade, I may have the best one yet!! 💖
redsparrow redsparrow i have been itching for a new case knife and was going to go with the micarta trapper but now I'm going with this copperhead. Love the looks of this one and hopefully I get one made on Tuesday and not Monday.
 
That's the Case Stag Lottery Winner. 🤠 :thumbsup:
Thanks John, I really like this one, it came sharper than any Case I’ve ever received, the DLT trapper is a close second. The bolsters are much shinier then they appear in the photo, it’s so humid here there was condensation on them. Should have let it “warm” up a bit longer. 😄👍
