That's a very good looking case. Enjoy that!
This one today along with my Barlow. My Dad never carried anything but a promotional Barlow brand money clip with our family's business logo on it. It simply had a pen blade on one side and a nail file blade on the other. Oddly enough that little money clip did everything he ever needed---Imagine that
A couple of years ago my dad said he had gone to a garage sale in Mesa where he winters. All he bought where some USA made knives and this was one of them, a 1971 (9 dot) CASE 11031 SH with warm Walnut covers. I rec'd this in the mail a few days after we talked---what a very pleasant surprise.
Ya done good Dad, ya done good :thumbup:.
and of course my other treasured knife.

I just picked this up today. Gave it the spa treatment ie Flitz, Edge Pro Apex, Rem Oil.
As you can see, it is already being put through it's paces.

I named it swirly. It has a fine swirl mark on the bolster. I'll probably polish it out sometime.

I had pre-ordered and the website indicated that the ETA was mid-March, but mine shipped on Feb. 12 and arrived a couple days later which was a nice surprise.
Overall, the fit and finish are good. No gaps or wobble, and serviceably sharp out of the box. The blades are perfectly centered, but the back spring is ever so slightly proud on the clip blade when open (this is the only flaw I've found). No half stop, but a smooth pull and nice snap when fully opened. Mine is starting to develop a bit of patina on the copper bolsters which should only improve with time and use - at least to my thinking.
