I really like the Case Tribal Lock despite its imperfections in the finish. It's a shame Case doesn't take more care with the blade centering and rivet finishing. The rivets that catch the hand make this knife less enjoyable. Unlike my other perfectly fitted and finished Tribal Lock.

Mine is slightly off-center, but not too bad. It does have one pin on one side that will catch the skin, has low spots in the jigging around the pin. Still one of my favorite knives.

I guess this is my current round of "my favorite bones". These are the knives I have been grabbing when I want to carry or use a bone handle knife. The little Tear Drops have become one of my favorites to toss in the pocket.

That teardrop pattern has really grown on you Gordon. If I’m remembering correctly, the first one you got you weren’t sure what to think of it, now you have four of them and they all look fantastic! 😎👍

Thanks. And yup. Certain handle and/ or blades shapes scream "nope" when I look at them. Some others are more like "wut?" or "meh", and the Tear Drop is in that category. Despite that, it actually feels nice in my hands, and I like the blade shape and size. Nice knives even though I still find the shape a little odd. Some of the bone Case has been doing with these - like you said, fantastic. I'd love for Case to do a yellow synthetic version.
