Photos Whats your favorite Case pattern?

I don't have a favorite Case pattern. I like them all.

As a recent convert to the world of traditional knives, I'd have to say my current favorites are the Peanut, the Mini Trapper with wharncliffe, and the Mini Copperhead. I also have the Case Swayback in Burnt Amber Bone on my list but haven't seen one in the flesh yet.
 
I have to say "yes" because as soon as I said; "I like a stockman the best", I'd have an instant change of mind and have to say; "change that it's actually a barlow". So, in the end, I like them all equally. Now, I do like some cover material better than others and some colors better than others but the question for this thread was "pattern" so, again, I like em all equaly.
 
The mini trapper first good knife I bought at like 15. Like it so much had to get the Bose colab version. Also like the Backpocket a large single blade trapper is a great knife to use. 6375 is a nice one too waiting to get the Premium version of it
 
For me it is the stockman with oval bolsters. Love the fit in my hand and I like them in pocket better than others. My fav handle material is either the yellow synthetic or chestnut bone. I have a med stockman with yellow handles and cv blades. My favorite combination . It is currently in my left front pocket.
 
The favorites for me are the 31-1/2 Jack or a large Texas Jack. Both would need to be pre blunt-tip era knives.

I've figured out, if you get a Tony Bose Case pattern(like a teardrop, tribal lock, saddlehorn, backpocket etc), and then get it in the pocket worn version, you get a very high quality knife for not much more than the standard Case offerings. The fit and finish is just a little extra. I know some people think the pocket worn is cheating, but I just don't see it as much more than a smooth bone knife.
