I have bought 3 Case knives, and all of them have been pretty bad coming from a company that prides itself on excellence and USA made quality.
The first one I got was a yellow delrin CV Trapper. The blades came completely unsharpened. I mean like no edge whatsoever. The blades were also rubbing the liners, though the rest of the knife was fine.
Second, a Large Stockman in amber peach seed jigged bone. The springs and liners all have massive gaps, all three blades rub against each other, and the main clip-point blade is bent at an astounding angle, not to mention the blade play on this blade.
Third, I got another trapper, this time saw cut bone with SS. This one has an amazingly uneven grind and came out of the box with a wicked burr on the blade. The blades all rub the liners, and half of the back springs have big gaps in the space between them and the liners.
My question is: what happened to case? All three of my knives I've gotten from them have worse fit and finish than any other knife I've bought, most notably current production Old Timer's. My dad has always carried a Case medium stockman and has always said that you can find no better knife than a Case, but I'm really starting to doubt that. I know I could send them in for warranty work, but the turnaround time as stated by Case is 6-8 weeks, and it may be even more than that now with COVID-19 going on.
