Just picked up a sawcut antique bone mini warncliffe trapper. Awesome! For one I'm glad to see Case introduce some new bone cuts (Sawcut, Winterbottom, Canyon Jigged, etc.). Not to mention some new stand alone patterns such as the Humpback Stock. But, I got to thinkin'. How cool would a medium harness jack be on a mini trapper frame with the mini trapper clip main and secondary punch. What about you? What would your custom Case be?
 
3" serpentine jack main blade spear, second blade wharncliffe blade long pulls & swedges Cv, or 1095 if GEC wants to make it :-)
 
My dream case knife would be a Case/Bose collaboration Lanny's Clip with stag scales that pass Tony's standards. Most of the stag I've seen on Case knives is pretty poor, I want better on these collabs.

I wish Case would make a Senator pen or Eisenhower with CV blades.

I´d like to see a Medium Barlow with their CV-steel and a wharnie secondary blade ;)
 
Personally, I'd like to see a pen knife (like the mini copperhead) with a clip main and a wharny secondary. Maybe even a peanut or texas jack with a wharncliffe secondary instead of the standard pen blade.
Anyone beginning to see a pattern here?

I'd also like to see more amber bone CV's. I've always liked the contrast between the lighter handles and a dark patina on the blade.

I would not go so far as to call it my dream Case knife, but as I commented about the TrapperNut in another thread, if the secondary was a sheepsfoot instead of a spey I would get one right away.

I guess that's why I like carrying my Craftsman small stockman. It's about the same size as a peanut, and if you don't mind the pen at the other end, has the blade configuration I like in a small package. I just like the frame of the peanut better than the stockman.

I think you just gave me the idea for mine: 6344HE in red bone. I like my delrin model, but that one would be sweet.

Edited to say, what would make this dream a reality is if I found one I could afford!

I'd like to see a re-issue of the 92 frame, like a 6292 in that awesome raindrop damascus, with stag covers or maybe some "old redbone," the stuff that looks more green-ish than red.

Mine is along these lines. Case/Bose Lanny's clip A2, Molasses Antique Bone. I don't think I would shop for another knife again.

I'm working on that pattern brother! I just can't get the serpentine part to look right. But my swell end jack is going to have that configuration on the one I make for myself!
 
The one Case knife that I have always wanted is a 5375. You almost never see one for sale and when one comes up for sale they are fairly pricey. I have a bunch of 6375s and a few 5318s but I still don't have a big one in stag.
