How could it not go right into my pocket?
Beautiful in all ways (handles, color, bolster) but especially that Clip blade - no cutlery company builds a full Clip as perfect as GEC does. OH
 
Four pockets, four knives. Actually have more pockets cause I'm wearing overalls. Nice and comfy;)

Really loving the color of this new Case 75. The stag on the Henkel is outstanding also.
That Henckels is just flawless.... color me jealous... :D

I have the Case 3 spring 6347 in red bone, and the half whittler in stag, and the white bone big copperlock.... the GEC 23 mesquite is also along, as usual..
The 6347 has a rub mark on the sheepfoot blade, from my aggressive opening tactics... the blades don't rub at all on this knife. They are beautifully centered. The way Case gets 3 springs on this without making the knife too fat, is thinner blades... and the sheepfoot is thin enough to flex when I open it.

At only 8 bucks I'm thinking of picking up another one and making a handle from a whitetail deer antler tine. 🤠👍
You should do it. I made a bunch of wood handles for the plastic-handled Okapis when they were easily available, and it was a lot of fun. If the Cold Steel version wasn’t made in C**** and an affront to my brand loyalty, I would probably do it for those, too.

I have a several whitetail antlers laying around, but none of the tines are straight enough to make a handle out of.
 
I want to thank Tyson A Wright, Corto_Malt, Jack Black, SteveC, Jon0385, and anyone I might have overlooked for your thoughts, prayers, and condolences. Even though I’ve only been on Bladeforums less than a year, the outpouring of support from all of you really means a lot. Thank you all so much.

Today I carried this #77 Spearpoint Barlow—- trying to get back into a routine.

ahhhh.... the Spaminator!
I don't remember how all that got started, exactly, but I have a pic somewhere of my Forum knife slicing some Spam, as well... still one of my favorite knives...

Haha! There was some question about whether a heavy, sabre-ground blade would be an effective slicer, so I promised I'd give it a try first thing after opening the tube. :p
