Treasure Trove

[kidwholaughs]

Congrats on so many fine knives.

I won a Case from Absintheur, a 1970 Case 6232-Texas Jack, 2 blade, jigged brown bone.
This is my first real Case, and I now understand what folk mean about Case.
It is a solid knife, very well made with lovely jigging.
Until now I had set my Queen knives as a standard for a working knife.
I am now corrected!
Absintheur, thanks.

I have that same jack in amber bone 07. It's a super knife

A Case 'Dark' Red bone 6344 in CV.
Dark red? A hose lipstick red has been described!
What to say, a standard modern Case knife with its great CV that has patinaed well and is seeing plenty of pocket time.
Honestly, for an extra $10 a Queen in D2 is light years ahead in quality.

If you soak that handle in mineral oil it will get darker. Handling it a lot does that same thing.

Love your Case 6232....I got a Case 6244 at an antique shop in Monrovia CA and will not leave the house without it! It is like a daily therapy thing, cannot explain it. Beautiful knives.....Thanks for the show.
