Photos Whats your favorite Case pattern?

[onojoe]

The title is pretty self explanatory. So what's your favorite case pattern and why? Is it it's aesthetic beauty or it's functionality.
Mine is the Stockman, mostly for its functionality, but it does have a beauty all it's own

I guess it would have to be the 087 Stockman Love the size of these.

I like the slimline trapper. I prefer single blade pocket knives with blades around 3 inches and this fits the bill at just over 3 inches. The slimmer profile makes it less noticeable in the pocket. I recently purchased this black canvas laminate one and I really like it, The laminated canvas has a unique feel in the hand,

Peanuts!

Excuse the Craftsman in the top left. I love the Peanut for its comfort in-hand and in-pocket as well as its capability for being everything I need from a knife 99% of the times that I need a knife. The wide array of cover materials also make it appealing to me.

I wish Case would do a Case/Bose-esque Peanut with premium materials and construction. A wire-cut, relief-milled, Ebony-clad, Corset-shielded, CPM-154 bladed (Clip main, full-sized wharncliffe secondary) Peanut would probably cause a divorce in my household.

Single Blade Wharncliffe Mini Trappers
3 1/2 inches (closed), easy to pocket, very slicey blade profile, and just all-around handy.

I have a lot of Case knives, but lately I have fallen in love with the Teardrop; I find the pattern beautiful, comfortable to use and carry and a good variety of blade combinations.

The #47 Stockman hits a real sweet spot for me.

This is really a difficult question. Case makes or has made so many patterns that it's hard to decide. I got this 6235 1/2 back in May and ever since then it has been my favorite Case pattern. It finds its way into my watch pocket frequently and every time it does I ask myself why I don't carry it even more often.

It's my current favorite mainly because of the shape of the frame and the way it feels in my hand when I use it. It has excellent walk & talk also so that kind of helps too.

6380 whittler is mine no pics at this time but i have a few of them love the 70s sunburst red jig bone and the bright red of the 65-69

 

[Old Hunter]

Really like the medium stockman size for EDC and own several by different makers, but my hands down favorite (of all brands) is the Case 18 pattern. Here are many of mine. OH

The Green Maple is really eye-catching! I prefer them as single blades myself.

Thanks, Will

Hard, really hard Have to put my thinking-cap on about this one...

 

[Elgatodeacero]

trapper is my favorite, but I keep eyeing those mini trappers......

 

[Hickory n steel]

Probably the 6208.
I do love my sodbuster jr and I'm really liking the mini executive I recently picked up, but the 6208 I instantly fell in love with.

I'll have to agree with you, Old Hunter . As much as I love my trapper, my medium stockman is carried more often, and makes an ideal EDC. When I do carry my trapper, it's usually in a belt sheath, and my 18 is in my pocket.

 

[jstrange]

Of the ones I own I can narrow it down to three. Large Stockman and Copperlock and the Trapper. I like all three, but I am leaning towards the Trapper.

 

[Ironbut]

Well, if we're not counting the discontinued models, like the XX Barlow,

Then my favorite would be the medium stockman:

With the Tribal lock a close second:

 

[Halfneck]

Case Medium Jack

 

[jstrange]

If the ones I don’t own, I would say the Tribal and Backpocket look great.

 

[Wowbagger]

Well lets see.
Let me get out my knives here and see what is the most prominent. That's a tough one.
Here's a photo of my knives.

Hmmmmm looks like mostly . . . of course they are not all Case . . . there are the two Bokers at the top there. Can't count them. And at the bottom . . . those are Case sure enough but they are in the minority; two Case Slim Line Trappers . . .
Huh . . . I guess that leaves the rest of them larger Case knives . . . let me take a look here . . . yup they are the same style . . . it says here on the boxes "Case Trapper".

OK I'm playing dumb. One of my favorite handle and blade shapes / sizes period is the Full Size Trapper and I just love the Case Trapper clip point blade shape.
I will admit to ruthlessly removing the second blade to improve my grip and control.
As I have said before : Put an M4 alloy blade in this knife and I might just sell off the rest of my collection of other brands (which, truth be told is much more diverse than I am letting on here).
I do like fooling with compression locks etc., but . . . I don't really need locking knives.

PS: I don't have enough full size Case Trappers by the way; there is a gigantic hole in the photo below that can only be filled by a dark blue jigged bone version. I don't know why I keep putting off buying one. I won't feel content until I have one.
With M4 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?




In the last couple of weeks I modded this Case Trapper Clip Point Blade.
