Who still carries a Case Knife?

[JohnDF]

Those are nice.

Thank you, Todd.

I wish they’d do more patterns like that.

Me too. I'd like to see a single blade, with Natural Canvas Micarta, end caps, and their standard shield.

Seven dot canoe, one of my few vintage Cases.

Couple of cool, captivating, covetable Case canoes!!

Sorry for the slow response, been doing interesting stuff and stayed away.

Yes, the significance of the Lion rampant with sword is that it is the heraldic symbol of Finland.

All countries in the Eurozone can put their symbols or designs on the reverse of the coins 5 cent, 10, 20, 50c 1€ 2€ and various special low mintages. Those backward countries with monarchs in the eurozone have to put the boring head of their monarch on their € coins (NL, Belgium, Spain) whereas the rest of us have a freer hand. The Greeks for instance, have the Ancient Greek Athena Owl on their Euro coin and very beautiful too.

Here's the national Lion somewhat enlarged on a manhole cover celebrating 100 year independence.

I really like that artistic manhole cover, Will!
As I've done a lot of walking for the past 2 years, I've come to appreciate the variety of manhole cover designs.

I almost always have a mini copperlock in my pocket, my favorite Case pattern. Usually have another Case or GEC or other traditional and a flipper too. Big pockets. GECs are wonderful but 99% of my case knives have quality that is as nice as GECs, at least to my old eyes and hands.

Don't go telling everybody, or the Case prices and availability may follow GEC too.

I generally always have a Texas Toothpick in the watch pocket of my pants. It doesn't get used a huge amount as I carry a larger folder as well, but it's always there and sharp when I need it.

I'm the opposite...
I use the heck out of my small pocket knife and save the large folder for the big chores when it's needed.

Well, a good chunk of my daily cutting is breaking down large boxes and cutting large packing straps and things, so the big knife gives me a little more leverage. But it's nice using the toothpick for things.

The one on the left is the toothpick I currently carry. I really like that pattern, and I have quite a few of the small ones that I've picked up.

I really like the bone on the Big 'Un.

I really like the bone on the Big 'Un.

It's a great looking knife! Case doesn't make them anymore that I could find, so I put feelers out through some of the collectors I know, and one of them found me one at a flea market.

Last week till yesterday I had a Buck 305 and Small brass mercator on me.
I only used the merc a couple times and didn't use the main blade on my 305 once.

Basically everything was done with the little coping blade on the 305.

Aside from apple duty, I expect the secondary on my new Case 25-1/2 will probably see the most use while I'm carrying it.

I carry this pair of Cases pretty often, the teardrop goes in watch pocket while the Russlock goes into back pocket.
