What is Your Favorite Case Folder

[Wowbagger]

jpm2,

Medium stockmans and trappers, CV of course.

My only regret Case wise is I could not get a Stag in CV. WHAT ? . . . THAT's what I said. The SS looks good but the CV seems to really belong with the Stag.

Better yet for me are the GEC equivalents, in osage orange - what we call horse apple or bois d'arc.

Oh so now you are going to make us all drool . . .
'scuse me while I . . . smack . . . drip . . . go look for a pocket handkerchief. Need to do laundry today . . . dang you.

Trapperlock.

pbcg,

Swayback Jack, love the Warncliff blade.

Hey !
Somebody who owns a real camera !
(and knows how to wield it)

Isn't that a great knife !

Love my Texas Jack. The Truth my favorite Case is the next one I get.
I told the Wife I wanted a Full Sized CV Case Stockman for my 52 birthday.
I also want a CV CASE PEANUT.

deltaboy,

I told the Wife I wanted a Full Sized CV Case Stockman for my 52 birthday.
I also want a CV CASE PEANUT.

That's telling her !
'Course if you have my luck . . . if I told The Chef that she would just look at me like "Then your birthday is going to Suck isn't it". I can't get her to walk by a cutlery store in the Mall even, . . . let alone go in and look around. Knives creep her out. BUT SHE'S A CHEF !
. . . yah
life's complicated isn't it ?

Happy B' day dude !

red blade,

I really like the look of the Amber Bone Mini Trapper CV

Sweet looking little knife. I don't have a mini but that kind of 'teardrop" end is useful. Probably very pocket friendly (I have to carry my larger trapper in a pouch).

Sorry . . . hogging the tread again . . . sorry, sorry.

pbcg, that swayback is sweet. Nice photo.

I like the Sodbuster Jr. the best so far.

Several times I was going to grab a RussLock, but I just haven't pulled the trigger. Don't know why.

For a long time, my favorite was the plain yellow slimline trapper in CV. I kinda got a sentimental attachment to that one.

I recently got a Mini Trapper with a single Wharncliffe blade that is simply a fantastic pocket knife. It's a Carhartt line model with jigged two tone Delrin scales.

I think I'd like the CV Sodbuster Jr if only they were thinner by at least 1/8". It's just too bulky for my needs, even if it is a fantastic knife.

For actual carry, I actually carry the cheapest Case knives on the market. The small lockbacks with injection molded Zytel handles. Either the small Caliber or the Mini Blackhorn. I think I prefer the Mini Blackhorn because of the narrower blade and the blade is very easily pinch opened. My last one, I milled a deeper nail nick to make it easily one hand opening. And they are very inexpensive and easily replaced if abused or lost.

Now if only I could get Case to do a run of those small lockbacks in yellow Zytel with CV blades...

Yellow Derlin Large Stockman or Trapper for me. I cant really decide between them.

 

[Railsplitter]

I would say that I have four favorite Case knives. The first three are in my EDC rotation. Hard to pick a number one favorite.


Humpback Stockman



Case/Bose Cattle Knife



63090 Medium Stockman



And honorable mention for the Case/Bose Norfolk. I adore this knife but I'm partial to three blade knives for EDC purposes.

 

[Slipperyfish]

Gotta go with the peanut. Always have one in my pocket.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

I am looking for a new pocket knife . I am mainly looking at Case knives . What model is your favorite , that you actually use / carry every day ? Just looking at them online , I like the mini trapper and sowbelly .

You can't go wrong with the Sowbelly!

Just for giggles, I'm going to echo Railsplitter for awesome Case knife selections

Have to make a medium stockman substitution

 

[Comeuppance]

Case/Bose improved muskrat. I don't have one, but, I want one:

Haven't used it in a long while the Copperlock in stag handles, bought several back in the late 90's, Case made some nice stag handles. Gary

The only case SS I couldn't resist was the hobo stag.

The sowbelly is one of my favorite Case Patterns. It can be had in either CV or Tru-Sharp.

I have two. One in yeller Delrin. The other in Chestnut bone. Both in CV.
I especially like that the blades are offset instead of crinked. Makes the sheepsfoot especially easy to use.

Pocket Worn Trapper in Harvest Orange.

 

[perchjerk]

another vote for the sowbelly. Mine hasn't left my pocket since I got it many months ago. Its wearing nicely!

Full size trapper is my favorite. I also like the texas jack, canoe, mini copperlock, large stockman and medium stockman. The reason I listed so many is because those are the patterns I currently have. I would have to say I never got a pattern that wouldn't be up there as a favorite. I reckon now my plan is to get different patterns as opposed to getting more of the ones I already have. There are a lot of trappers in my collection, and I always carry the same one. Next on the list is a mini moose or a full size copperlock.....
