Who still carries a Case Knife?

[thefrenchconnection]

Hi all!
It's been a while.
I just wanted to share with you the outstanding customer service I received from Case.
I bought a medium stockman when my son was born three and a half years ago.
It's been my only carried knife since then.
After a few drops the covers got cracked and moved a little, I fixed that with epoxy but after a while I contacted Case to see if they could do the repairs for which I was asking to pay.
They covered the replacement of both scales under warranty and sent me back a perfect knife with beautifully matched covers and a full polish .
I thought it was a brand new knife until I saw the deeper pits on the carbon blades I know so well!

This one has been through a LOT. Even though it is very worn, everything is still flush, tight, and solid. Nice to carry, and cuts amazingly well.

Case Stockman or Trapper with bone covers.

Picked this NOS 2006 62005 1/2 Barlow up a few weeks age.. Supposed to be Black Bone Barn board but it kinda has a purple tint to it.. If I remember right Case had a tough time dyieing bone as they were changing their dyeing process around that time?? Then again maybe it was a dream!!

Thanks E El Jay
I am glad you enjoyed seeing it. It is easy to overlook a very "imperfect" one like this when it comes to a collection; but I keep coming back to it, and it gets carried a lot.

Bruce, that’s the kind of knife that belongs in a pocket of a person using an old bamboo fly rod and wearing a wool crusher…

Jim, I own neither, but love the mental picture (and I do have the knife!). Bruce

I've been a little busy / sidetracked and not able to keep up with the forums as much.

But, cool mountains streams are what I like to call home. Great pictures and hope you found your trout!!
