Who still carries a Case Knife?

[lithicus]

My Case 6332 is still in pocket. I did have it with me last Saturday fly fishing, but didn't get any pictures for the Sunday Stockman thread. Water was high and fast. Still managed 4 or 5 trout to the net. All subsurface again. Reason for this post is because I was walking the dogs on our property the other day and thought I would take a pic to continue this "journey" so to speak.

For those interested:
The first pic was in March when I used my 6332 to help with a late pruning.
The second pic was in April well after bud burst.
And the pic below has many of the flowers in bloom. Some are still opening up.

Still have a ways to go! Blueberry harvest is usually shortly after the 4th of July.

Got my Hawkbill Pruner ready to go.
Nice strong pull, still easy to open without nailnick, very useful blade shape. Handle feels nice and smooth.

I love those, I added a user of that to the case pass around box, which I partly regret. I keep meaning to look for another user.

Slim trapper, one of favorite Case's to carry. Always thought it would be cool if they made some of these with pen blade secondaries.

I love the slimline trapper! Seriously one of my all time favorite case knives. No joke it didn't look like it would be something I would like but after giving it a try I'm a firm convert and highly recommend it to people.

Yes, it’s the 35 1/2. Such a solid little knife. How does the 31 1/2 feel in comparison to the 35 1/2?

I'm not who you asked, but as my wife likes to say I always add my opinion where it's not wanted I like the size of the 31 better, buuuuut sometimes the jigged ones can be a little on the thick side.

The picture doesn't do it justice but there's a decent difference between this jigged delrin and smooth black delirn version.

Also they have the stiffest springs of any knife I have ever owned. Quite literally nail breaking. I partly keep them around just so whenever I think another knife is to stiff I can remind myself what the true extreme is. But beautiful and tough knives.

Anyways here's a picture from earlier this week. Just a simple smooth black jack while working in the shop.

I feel safer with "nail breakers", if they wont close up too easily when I forget what knife I'm using and end up treating it like a locking blade.

That’s great information Jon, I love the strong springs of the older Case.

Custom lanyard, no doubt. Lucky you

I really need to take some more pictures of this one. I picked this trapper up a couple weeks back and it gives my GECs a run for their money. I love case's jigging. And it has great fit and finish, especially for the 40 bucks I paid.

My first 14 1/2, just arrived yesterday. Should get a lot of pocket time.

Old pocket worn red bone medium stockman helped making strawberry jam.

I have the same knife. It’s my second to replace the one I lost. Love the pocket worn series!

I had a 31 and I concur: stiffest springs of any slipjoint I've owned. So stiff, I passed it on.
Old pic. Thankfully, my pictures have gotten better

Thanks Mike. I’ve been looking for a 31, now with all the talk about the pull, you guys are making me wonder!

Yeah, I suppose I don’t want them to all be nail-breakers, but it’s nice to have a few.

At a certain point, hard to open becomes less than safe
