Case Caribbean blue jig bone trapper. It’s a beautiful knife. Unfortunately the clip blade is off center almost touching the liner and the spey blade has substantial blade play. Already sent an email to Case. Haven’t had much luck trying to get a passable one of these….this is my 4th try.

I gave away that same knife to a friend, and thought I had another. I also gave away a couple of green bone Musrats. Below are a couple of the ones I have kept, but I've only carried the green bone trapper.

I have a yellow peanut in my pocket. Sometimes I think it is a bit small so I ordered a Black Synthetic Medium Jack, 22087 ss. I'm curious, how long has that specific model been around?

Regards Erik

Steve Pfeiffer, writing in his book Collecting Case Knives, states the pattern goes back to the early years of Case (no specific date of introduction is known). You will like that knife; I find it is the smallest practical pocketknife for me nowadays (along with the Case 6225-1/2 and similar size knives) - a lot of blade in a small frame but enough frame to grip well. OH

Yes, I got the package today and I really appreciate it. It is like my yellow pen, only thicker with two springs which is a plus.

Thanks for your remarks on the half-whittlers, Will. I look forward to seeing a photo show of yours. :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Terrific trio of sowbellies! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


I tend to favor multi blade pocket knives, but that simple sheepsfoot with wood covers and a shackle has a ton of appeal! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks for some details on how you "deleted" the pen blade. :cool::cool::thumbsup:



That's an impressive clean-up you did, Bruce! :thumbsup::cool::cool: I don't have a lot of experience with Delrin covers on knives, but I had NO idea they could discolor that badly! Thanks for the tips on how to fix the problem in both mild and severe examples.


I saw that cool knife in another thread, and I think you wrote that the tang stamp number is 12031SH. You said the original handle was walnut, a favorite wood of mine, and I didn't realize that Case had a separate number (1) for walnut compared to other wood (7). Does the "2" on the tang stamp mean that your knife was originally an electrician model with a screwdriver as second blade? Interesting knife that's teaching me new stuff! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Whoops. I simply typed in the wrong number. That should have been 11031 SH. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks for the clarification on number of blades. :thumbsup::)
I was hoping maybe the knife had more stories to tell about its life with 2 blades and without, but no such luck! ;)

Storm, Older photos, but I had misplaced that 6318 for a few months before I found it, maybe six months, and it had whitened up like you see. I used Ballistol (which I also use for cleaning similar white mold off of old leather). A gas station type red rag, soaked in Ballistol coupled with aggressive rubbing cleaned it right up. I now check my older Delrin handled knives and when you first see the white forming simply pocket carry the knife for a week and it cleans it right off. OH

Ps have that same knife with me this weekend, at my daughter and son-in-laws, running some new circuits for them on their new deck - that knife is a workaholic!

Thanks for the advice. Hmm I have a sling that has that white waxy stuff that forms on some leather. It isn’t mildew as far as I can tell. I looked it up and it’s called spue. I’ll have to try ballistol.
 
Question,
On this case stockman, the jigging (that’s the term for those little grooves right?) actually protrudes into the bolster on one side. I doesn’t annoy me but I’m curious, is the jigging done with the scales mounted on the knife, or is it a result of some sort of press fitting of the bolster or something?

baxtrom baxtrom many people, myself included feel that jigging running into the bolster is a desirable feature. The alternative is to grind off material and have a flat area going into the bolster.

This may be of use to you

Jigging hitting bolsters

I have a couple of knives that I have purchased recently that has indentations on the edge of the bolsters where it looks like the jigging was carried too far on the scale material and hit the bolster. Has anyone seen this before? I thought it was unusual when I saw it on one, but then got...
