What Case Knives should I buy?

To all & sundry:

I was asked to include photos of an old Case Trapper I've had since God was a PFC. Just took a look @ my permissions & find that I'm not allowed to post attachments. I assume that includes photographs. Haven't had much luck so far in checking the forum rules governing that. What's up?

Prof, Join a photo sharing site and upload your pictures. Mine has a link you can copy and just past into the quick reply box here.
You can click go advanced to preview the post before you submit it. Better yet do a search for how to post pics and you will get a more
detailed explanation.

Welcome to BF!
 
Back on topic, everyone has different tastes. You should buy a knife that speaks to you and you can't stop thinking about.
Be very careful however.....a lot of knives speak to me and often! :eek:
 
TheProf,

Sorry didn't mean to have you deal with a hassle. But if you want to its easy...

I use Photobucket. When you upload a pic it gives you a Link to copy which you then just paste into the text of your post. :)

You're welcome to email me and we can take it up further.
 
To post pictures as a registered user, you will have to upload them to a web hosting site such as photobucket. Once the pictures are uploaded, if the hosting service provides IMG code for the picture, you can copy it and paste that into your post. If the web site does not provide IMG code, then copy the web address of the picture and paste it into your post, but wrap it in code like this.


Also, be advised that the Traditional Forum is strictly G-rated, just like the traditional knives we talk about.

My three guidelines for successful posting in Traditional:
1) Talk about Traditional Knives.
2) Use G-rated language and expressions. Think Andy of Mayberry.
3) Post friendly. Talk to others as you would wish them to talk to you.
 
Some very nice Case knives being posted - all the Mini-Copperheads jolted my memory - my "dress up" knife (not sure where I put it.) OH

A CASE "peanut" is a must have anchor for any collection of CASE knives regardless of the size of the group IMHO. I've got a couple myself even though I would never admit publicly to belonging to the "Cult of the Peanut"! I currently own 4 large CV yellow trappers ... and I'm about to buy anther one from another BF member. Apparently I can't own too many of these and I've even given a couple away to friends.

A CASE with CV or SS in the pattern of your choice is always a great choice as an EDC and for the price they are handsome and very collectable for the KnifeNut on a budget.

Go with your gut ... as someone already mentioned ... one of these patterns and handle material combinations will speak to you. Buy it or trade for it and enjoy it. If it turns out to be a catch and release then you may be a KnifeNut!

Boker plus has a locking trapper it is pictured in this thread.

Mr. Berkovitch:

b) It still has good, stout springs, but a locking mechanism would have been nice. Still would. Especially for the Spey blade, but both would be nice. I haven't amputated any fingers yet, but I've come close from time to time. Now that blade locks are common, do you know of any Trapper with the things? Preferably for both blades. Why aren't they universal now? Liner locks don't seem to take up much space, & I wouldn't mind a width increase of 5-6mm or so.

Thanks for any input.

My favorite Case traditionals are:
- Peanut
- Sodbuster
- Swayback Jack
- Texas Jack (most carried Case I own)

IMO, can't go wrong with any of these
