I'm trying to figure out why you have chosen to keep antagonizing?, I'm sure you fancy yourself as a cyber terrorist in your wannabe anarchist mind, but you are really just a sad pathetic person, but in a few years you will still be sitting on the couch in your parents basement eating hot pockets thinking you are such a superior person awaiting your next unemployment check while you play xbox, good times.
Oh yeah if I may quote you " stay classy,.....bro "

For some reason you keep trying to make this subforum less than it is. That will not happen. If you keep posting threads asking for pics of Case knives people will happily oblige - not get mad.

Case in point...

Remember in Star Trek TOS "Day Of The Dove" when the alien who fed on negative emotions had the ship hostage and the previously warring Klingons and crew refused to react as desired and laughed it away.

OK, so I'm a geek.

Sadly, I find Case knives too expensive for what you get. New or vintage. I never carry a Case anymore. I'll buy and reach for an old Ulster, Schrade, or Camillus first as I find their steel and blades are just as good, if not better than Case's and their value much better than in Case products.

Not long ago I picked this pair up for less than 50 bucks, but even at that they were probably over priced.

While I think Case knives are great, the aspect of the traditional hobby which speaks to me is searching for old used knives.

My search is not for collectors items. I also look for older tools, not for nostalgia but because I think they are made better in many cases.

Waynorth - somebody just rang your bell - could you please answer ?

OW - ditto

These are not all that rare, however, getting harder to locate in nice condition and/or with this kind of bone saturation:

+1 for why didn't I think of that!?
PS: I'm a geek too.
