I received this Sycamore wood Case Saddlehorn from my wife for Christmas.

Two more that I gave as Christmas presents to my 2 brothers, Maserin Plows with micarta handles. I made some antler beads and leather fobs/lanyards from material I had around the shop. I was impressed with the quality of these knives, may have to get one for myself.View attachment 1258329

Well The Chef wouldn't even consider considering buying me a knife .
So I ordered these two on a whim, in the final hour as it were. I have had a super steel Christmas knife every year now for a while and wasn't going to go for it again this year. Then some out of the blue cravings appeared in my pea brain and I acted on them.

A Case Patriotic Teardrop and a Case Doctor's knife.
I had no idea how cool the Patriotic scales are. They are all deeply milled and have a ton of texture / grippy edges; I couldn't be more pleased. The action is nice and crisp and the dye is perfect. Really great for the price.
I've been wanting to read Chuck's book for a while now so I got that as well.



What did The Chef get make for me ?
I didn't say she doesn't know what I like.

112 in S30V, ironwood, and brass from the custom shop.

I just "discovered" the Buck 112 this year and really like using one. Great knife !

I got a nice 86 SFO in Bloodwood..... An absolutely beautiful knife !!

Now, there is a major issue with it. None of the two blades are sharp....at all. Butter knives are sharper. Thinking of sending it back to Case. My first Muskrat and I love it...reguardless.

Nah that's standard operating procedure.
Case knows you like a challenge.
Just rub it on a sharpening stone, preferably a very coarse one for a little bit and you would be surprised at the transformation.

I just got that Doctor's knife and the edge is all burred and rolled over to one side. Just proves they don't "love me" as much as they "love you". I'll probably just take a Spyderco Triangle rod to mine when I get a minute.

No big deal.
