Hey J jayjaygee , was this meant for another thread? Or can you give us some better context? Kinda confused over here on the Case discussion. Thanks.

It was just an answer to the thread title: "Who still carries a Case knife?" Answer: Hipsters! And then I told the story behind the answer.

I often carry a ten dot 35 1/2 or a peanut CV

Hipsters are! Well, in at least one case. Classic silly-man, 40s, long hair, probably can't change his own oil, and when he had a reason to pull out his knife he smiled and I felt like he was feeling his b&%$@ drop.

It's only one example, so maybe an anomaly. But it did make me think that maybe some blog or you tuber is convincing millenials to buy traditional 3-blade knives. Well, okay. Enjoy.

My dad taught this 37 year old millennial to carry Case, with as many or as few blades as I wanted. Carried Case from ~2000 until 2017 when I discovered GEC.

If the mood strikes me, I’ll still carry one of Dad’s old Case knives.

Sort yourself out.

[Will Power]

black mamba Thanks Jeff, it certainly is. Honoured to have it and appreciate your approval as you are a leading connoisseur of Stockman knives

Other knives come and go, trends wax and wane, but these wonderful jigged bone vintage Case knives are always a constant. I hope you enjoy that Stockman for many years to come my friend, Will Power .

Knife content! This was the first real knife I was ever allowed to use for whittling.
It was my Dad's, a somewhat massive 4 spring '93 serpentine congress.
I must have been 7 or 8 and my younger brother reached for the "gun" stick that I was whittling. (any L-shaped stick is naturally a gun stick)
One trip to the hospital later and the poor kid had stitches.

My Dad's hand contributed to the yellowing of the white bone and the tarnishing of the pins.
I usually carry it on my birthday.

Had this orange Sod Buster in the rfp on today’s hike the wife and I did!!

Sort yourself out.

What a silly thing to say! Did you think I was criticizing Case knives or people who carry them? I love my Case "stockman." If you have something to say to me for some reason, feel free to contact me directly. No need to hijack this fun thread with passive/agressive comments out of left field. I've reported your post.

love the bone on this peanut.

Everyone that enjoys carrying a Case Knife (or thinking about carrying one, or reminiscing about one formerly carried) is welcome here. Your first comment was a bit in left field (or so I first thought) and had me confused too until I figured out you were directly answering the title of the thread. Post your Case Stockman picture, join the conversation and, as you point out - add to the fun. Glad to have you here. OH
