I keep coming back and looking at it. That’s the prettiest color bone I ever saw. Do you happen to know what it’s called?

Others added or subtracted but the 75 is not unrooted.

I do love case red. That one has a touch or orangish and brownish. Does it always look that way?

Wow. Thanks for sharing. That jack has the perfect tone. But the Barlows is mighty pretty too!

I carry a traditional every day, something small to work in my khakis, like a Case Peanut or small Stockman, and then when home a Case medium Stockman or jack. Like this:

Had this one since 1985. Purchased at an Ace hardware store in Vidalia Ga. As salesman was pulling it out, a fixed blade slid off tray and went through his foot. Obligated then to buy the slimline. Went by a week later to check on him and found out he was being watched over that day as the major blood vessel in his foot was pushed out of the way of the point in the fixed blade. Could have been a lot worse.

Sounds like somebody needs to wear better shoes.

Wow! You should have bought the fixed blade too.
If you can recall,
What kinda footwear did this unlucky clerk have? And which model of fixed blade was it?

Jigged Chestnut bone is my favorite of all Case bone handles.... oddly, I don't care for it nearly as much as "smooth" bone... the jigging seems to bring out the color nuances better than when left smooth.

I want to get me one of those Case barlows with some nice bone. Had a vintage with jigged delrin and miss it now. Though I like bone much better.
I need to pick up a few more case knives. Really only have 2 that are in regular rotation. My most common case carry is the Sowbelly Stockman Chestnut & CV.

The fixed blade was still in his foot. They did not pull it out, which was a good thing.
Back in 85 salesmen dressed the part so the shoes were most likely penny loafer style.
All I recall on the fixed blade it was more of a skinner style. Been a long time and more miles than I can remember

Only thing that would have helped him would have been metatarsal style boots which would not have worked with the salesman attireSounds like somebody needs to wear better shoes.
