I do not understand the reason to Ponder on that for very long . If I ponder on that for any of mine , I put it in a slip and go . Like that YELLOW TC .

These today, some may look at that Klien, and think "Wonder why he didn't choose that neat old Queen?" .Well yesterday evening I handed it to my boss to look at while on the way to do an estimate on another job. Later once I was home and emptied my pockets I thought "Oh no! Where's the Queen!?" Then I remembered having handed it to her earlier so I knew at least its probably not lost. Then later today she stops to check in on a job side job we took on, I asked if she had it. Well she did, but here's the catch, that's when I learned "Oh, I only wanted you to see if you could clean it up for me, I don't have one like that" :eek: Part of me was bummed to have "lost" it so quickly, but another bigger part is happy she likes it and enjoys it:):thumbsup: It was meant to be, I had mentioned it had a weaker pull than I'd like, but she can pinch it open. Some knives she has trouble with. I'll have to see if I can borrow the case stockman I cleaned up for her for some pics to share here;)

Gary, we have a Case tomato knife that's at least forty five years old. Slices 'em thin. I bought a couple of sets of Case steak knives when I worked in a hardware store back in the 70's. They are about as nice as any I've used.

Jerry, I'm real happy with the Case kitchen knives I've picked up. Nothing fancy but they are well made, sharp, do the job and I like Case.

Agreed Gary, mire are nothing fancy (certainly not worthy for the hipster chefs), but are more than decent. Some of the steak "knives" I've used over the years wouldn't cut a roast cooked in a crock pot.

Dave, when my wife sends me to the grocery store with a bag of ground coffee on the list, she usually requests Tim Horton's decaf. ;):cool:

It's a good coffee Gary, Tim Horton's is fairly new down your way is it not?

Thanks, Jack. :)
FWIW, Robt. Klaas markets 3 sizes of knives with a Brown Mule blade etch, made in Italy with "Solingen high carbon steel." That may be an improvement over the situation you described?
Good to see that you're on the straight and narrow, at least regarding the edges of the knives you carry! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers for the info GT :) It's some years back now, but Uncle Andi contacted Klaas on my behalf, and received a reply from a senior executive. They said that these knives were made under license, that they basically had little or nothing to do with them, and bluntly called the vendor a liar for referencing Solingen :eek: Thank you my friend :) :thumbsup:

Have a great weekend, folks!
A couple of Case's. One in the back pocket, one in the kitchen.

Thank you, Jack, I will certainly keep you in the loop. What a terrific assortment of knives for a hike! I particularly like the looks of that fixed blade. I hope you have a pleasant hike, Jack.

...

Well, I got something in the mail today and since I am experiencing some lovely weather and have a pile of chores to get to, I figured that this iconic knife belonged on my belt for the day. I am absolutely in love, hard to get more traditional than a Kephart.
