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

[Old Hunter]

Leslie, that is a nice 18 you have - I particularly like the bone color - thanks for the good pictures. The narrow blades don't bother me either (nor does the fact some open on an angle - unless it is very extreme) - just differences in era's and between craftsmen who assembled the knives. The Case 18 is my personal favorite pattern to carry - a Medium Stockman for my purposes is the perfect pocketknife. OH

My first Case knife, about 40 years ago, was a 6232. They still are a favorite pattern of mine. Here’s my most recent one, circa 1940-64.

Definitely an easy pattern to love.

My latest acquisition (sheath bought previously), a Case Cheetah. In researching this, I was surprised at how old this pattern is (over 100 years). It has only been known as a Cheetah recently.

That is the ultimate dream Case knife. Is it as perfect as it looks?

I got it from the Exchange & the previous owner stated before hand that he put a small ding on the mark side ebony & there was a very, very small gap at one end between the spring & the one liner. Everything else about it is perfect. It's a nice size, with useful blades, the springs are flush in all three positions for both blades, snap is an equal 5-6 for both blades & they're perfectly centered. This & the recent cattle knife show excellent workmanship all the way. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Case/Bose collab.

Had these for about two weeks (Case 6375), patina forming, great pocket knives in hand!

Here's a MINT 1940-1964 Barlow with Red Saw Cut Bone and a deep CASEXX stamp. It has strong springs and half stops, what a Case should be. Also it has perfect centering!
