This may sound a little off, but this last week I've been surprised by one of my knives that I pulled out of the "safe queen" lineup. It is a Case recent production (2003) 6.5383 Bonestag Whittler. I've been carrying it around for about a week, using it, fondling it (only knifeknuts understand) and looking at it.
This knife is really put together well. Everything is right where it supposed to be. Excellent tolerances between the bolsters and scales. Excellent tolerances on the springs. Very slight rub between two blades.
Why is it Case can put together a knife that is close to perfect, looks, works and feels great in the hand; but still has a bunch of almost, not-quite, wish that wasn't like that knives that make it out.
My Case knives run the gamut from perfect to what happened here?
Anyway, I don't want to miss the point here. Kudos to Case for a really well put together knife. It's the bottom one in the photo below.
