Who still carries a Case Knife?

[joeradza]

Not at the moment, but I have in the past. And if my chase for a very particular pattern is fruitful, I will again. This one.

I carry a Case 22087 that my son bought me to replace the 62087 I lost! It has stainless blades and smooth black panels. Sometimes another but that one is always there!

My well used Case XX Trapper, 1940 -1964, in a humongous, fresh grizzly bear track on this evenings hike. Gets your attention.

Maybe you should put that Case away and grab that Buffalo thumper .577 NE

I hope your quest proves fruitful Alan. The saddlehorn is an outstanding pattern I think you'll like.

Haven't been posting much recently, still carrying Case, still my most prolific brand, usually maybe one a week. Every month or so I have a week full of Case. My pocket companions for this week:

Nice selection. I really like that smooth red bone with pvd(?) blades.

Thanks - yes, PVD blade, on some of the Smooth Old Red Bones. Striking look IMHO, although not quite standard traditional fare.

Thanks James. It's a small single blade. I've been carrying the Rough Ryder bow trapper which is not a bad substitute.

A CV trapper and a CV peanut (stag by Muskratman), the trapper gets a lot more pocket time.

Carrying this old 6332 today. Pretty much stock knife perfection!View attachment 2217747View attachment 2217762View attachment 2217766View attachment 2217767View attachment 2217771

I do agree! The older 6332's has turned into one of my favorite patterns of all time. It is the only factory mass produced 3 bladed knife I'm aware of with half stops on all blades. And, I feel the reverse gunstock pattern gives it a nice shape in hand and gorgeous curves. I was carrying it for months on end once I picked it up in the mail. It finally made it out my pocket, but quickly found its way back in. You have a nice one there with quite a bit of character. Very nice!!


I am a little late this month with my "6332 blueberry" update. Was out this morning with the dogs and the rain last night and overcast this morning made for a picture different than those of the past. The blueberries are plump but not close to ripe. They are starting to blue and are usually ready to pick beginning / middle of July. You might be able to see from the pictures, but these two bushes in particular have giant blueberries for some reason compared to the others on our property. Often times the size of a quarter coin!

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.
The third pic was in May. April showers bring May flowers.

Picture of blueberries from this morning:
