So I liked my first Case 11031SH so much that I had to have another. I really, really like these knives. They are solid, stout, have fantastic walk and talk and they practically beg to be used. If I read the online Case Bible correctly, my latest acquisition (the lower one in photos) is a late '60s vintage. So a bit older than my first one and shows signs of more use but still in beautiful shape.

My first older Case, 6318HE

Great choice for a first one. The older 6318s are so sleek and pocketable (and fondleable) and the HE version is perfect for those of us dislike spey blades.

What year is yours?

Thanks! It says PRESS TO RELEASE (in caps). I figured it out on my own though.

You nailed that description. The HE version is great for "urban cowboys". Mine is from the 1965-69 period.

Beautiful Case! I don't get drawn to many Case knives but that would certainly be one of the exceptions.

Burnt Stag , you have a tremendous collection! I particularly like those big Bowies, lovely pieces.
