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

IMG_2349.JPG 1940-1964 era, Case 6231 1/2, in Rough Black. Perhaps not real pretty to many, but "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". This one just spoke to me. I picked it up at a knife show in Janesville, Wisconsin yesterday. The walk and talk is perfect, in my opinion, very snappy! -Lance

How are you guys liking the Tribal Locks? Been really tempted to pick one up

The amber bone example I picked up is very nice. Good lockup, smooth action that has a “hitch” in it almost like a quarter stop upon closing that, along with the mid lock,makes closing one handed on your leg a dream. F&F on my example is very good. Feels good in the hand and slim enough it rides in the pocket surprisingly well.
Single blades aren’t really my thing at the moment or it’d certainly get more pocket time.
 
Here is an oldie but goodie. Took it in on trade last weekend at the local gun show.

I really like mine, (see post 1427), and am seriously thinking about adding the ebony version....just because. Mine is smooth, f&f is good & it's big enough, without being too big for front pocket jeans carry.
 
In the middle is my just-arrived-today V52109W mini copperhead in vintage stag with threaded bolsters (limited run of 500). As you can see in this photo it is well positioned in size between the peanut and the swayback gent. The pen blade is very slightly larger than the peanut's, the Wharncliffe is thinner and shallower than the gent's, and the swedge is a nice touch. It's definitely an elegant "gentleman's" knife.

Thank you! I keep doing that even though I know better. I fixed the post and added that the pen is only very slightly larger than the one on the peanut. I also keep writing swayback jack when I mean swayback gent. :confused:

Thanks Charlie! This one is as good in hand as it looks in the photo! It rivals the two Bose Collabs I have for F&F. It’s a shame they discontinued this model with Chestnut Jig and CV!
 
Modoc ED Modoc ED that's a nice spread you have there. Case does a great job with their bone.

Ron, I have a Back Pocket in 154CM, and couldn't agree with you more. The FF is great and it sure holds an edge.

Here's my two 1980 Appaloosas in the stable. The front one, a 6235 1/2, is from this past weekend's Badger Knife Club show in Janesville.
