You just can’t go wrong with one…. err two…
err… ya
Enjoy that beaut Todd! and awesome of John as always outdoing himself… once again !!

Thanks Gus. I don’t know what I was thinking because the knife I bought from John was a Case/Bose collaboration so I should have posted it here also, but I wanted to show the Dogleg Jack by itself. It’s a special knife in its own right.

Here is another extremely well made current production Case knife. It is nearly perfect, and the Bone Stag is beautiful and well hafted. The only thing I could nit pick is a minuscule bit of play with the wharncliff, but you really have to look for it.

Bay Watch Rescue - 1964-1969 - #6244 (good W&T, centered blades, flush springs, nice F&F, 3.25")

Like a small Texas Jack with a bit of experience.

A little sharpening and she'll be ready for her next half century... or so.

I've never had a sodbuster Jr... don't know why.... and I'm really not a huge fan of commemorative knives... but when this one in stag showed up on the 'bay, I went for it.
This is some of the best stag I've seen/had on a Case knife... once I get the edge the way I want it, it's liable to be a frequent carry..

Nice stag on that one.
I see those show up, but figured the etch would drive me nuts.
I think you're going to like the Sodbuster Jr. It's a nice size and I like the blade shape better than GEC's.

I agree on the etch.... nothing against Kentucky, but I might see if I can slip it across my little belt sander and eliminate it....
I compared it to my self-modified GEC 71, and they are very close in size. The Case blade doesn't seem to be as "bellied" as the GEC version. I think I can tolerate the Case shape.... the GEC had to be slimmed a bit...

The Shark Tooth was my first Case knife. My mother and father gave it me for Christmas in the late 1970's
I got the Panama Trapper yesterday. I've been waiting months for it to be back in stock.

Here is a question for you, I noticed Case usually uses brass liners. I also noticed my Case knives don't have rock solid blade lock ups. Do the brass liners along with the quality of the peening account for the quality of the knife lock up?

Best regards,

Do your knives have blade wobble when open?

That color and jigging pattern is one of Cases all time best. I wish that they could duplicate that these days.

They don't have blade wobble; however, they are not as solid as some of my other knives. I'm sure they are within spec of what Case produces; although, they are not as solid as my GECs or Queens. I was trying to figure out why that may be the case, not pun intended......

Best regards,
