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

So my sister and her kids are down for Thanksgiving and I had permission to gift my 11 year old nephew a knife, his first pocket knife. I laid out three, an SAK tinker a Case 6318pu and a Sodbuster jr CV.
He pined over the two Cases with their yellow handles and really wanted the stockman, because that’s what I had in my pocket. He has some dexterity issues and was really having trouble opening the SAK and the stockman. He really wanted the stockman.
I noticed the Sodbuster, being very pinchable, was easiest for him to open and close. So I picked it up, looked it over lovingly and proclaimed “ that’s all the pocket knife a man really needs, right der”.
His eyes lit up, “I’ll take that one” he said very satisfied. We spent the better part of an hour talking about caring for and sharpenig carbon steel as well as some of the history surrounding yellow handles, stockman, and sodbusters.
Hopefully I have created another knifenut in the family!

YA DID GOOD!

Both are super useful little guys but so far I like the 87's size slightly more than the 'nut. The 'nut will get some pocket time here soon tho and Ill have to make a decision on which gets watch pocket time over the other!

Recent “pocket worn” red bone. This is a good example and one that sees pocket time.

A new look for a not quite new knife: I bought this medium stockman about five months ago. I've always liked it, but never thought the amber bone was quite right for the pattern (no idea why, it just struck me that way). After picking up a small Texas jack in amber bone (which I do like on that knife) I decided it might be fun to try a dye job on this one. Sort of going from blonde to brunette, you might say. I really like how it turned out.

image.jpeg Three dot 6202 1/2 Case XX just arrived in the mail. It's my first Case and I wanted one from the time '70-'77 to see what all the fuss is about. It sure is a fine knife, very well put together, with nice action and great snap. It feels alive in my hand.
Michael. P.S. Please excuse my signature crappy photograph.
