Who still carries a Case Knife?

You and me both!

Took a ride on this rainy Saturday morning to the Case/Zippo museum and picked this up. Navy blue bone 6332. Pretty sure it's been said here before, prices are higher there than most online distributors but I was able to peruse 8 different examples. Found one with the best mix of snap, dye saturation and lack of gaps. It does have the typical blade rub found on all these I've handled but well worth the extra money. If only it could be carbon steel..

That’s a great example, beautiful color and jigging! You’ve inspired me to carry mine today.

I decided to swap out the Buck 110 I have been packin’ a while as my belt knife for the 65 pattern Case XX.

Beautiful knife.
Does the clip point almost break a nail to open? I have an older one that I had to add thumb stud so I could open it.

Thanks. No it isn’t hard to open. It is a bit harder than a smaller knife but not hard. I can pinch open it, though I use the nail nick most of the time.

Nice.

My first Texas Jack. Had to see what all the fuss is about with this pattern. Lovely example….I couldn’t resist.

I think this will be my next purchase: always wanted a buffalo horn handle and like the Trapper pattern. well done!

Question: do you treat the buffalo horn scales at all to keep them from getting brittle / cracking?

THanks,
