Who still carries a Case Knife?

[rishma]

A bit under the weather so a little fresh air and late cup of joe should fix me up. In my limited experience, this is among the best made production knives from Case.

I was carrying this little gem today.
Quite strong and snappy back spring for a teardrop, and it came perfectly centered with no gaps or blade play.
It's my only bonestag knife, and I do like the textured and smooth feeling of it a lot.

Thank you, me too.

Yes, it's a great pattern. And from what I saw in this thread, is that you have an admirable collection of these.

Thanks, I think I ended up with 9 or 10. I'll have to do another group shot one day.

This XX Era Carpenter’s Whittler is my most carried Case knife. I find the size, blade combination, and ergonomics to be perfect. And the color don’t hurt!

Thanks @Ace Rimmer . I do not believe Case had any particular name for their jigging. Same with the dye they used. They would have just called it jigged dyed bone. It was collectors who later came up with all sorts of descriptive names to differentiate the minor variations so they could justify charging more!

Regardless of what anyone might call it, Case has always had exceptional random pattern jigging. Even to this day with the current knives, I believe their jigging is the best and runs circles around GEC.

This 47 with a punch is a XX Era true no doubt Redbone.

Wow... I'm late to the party catching up on this thread. But these examples of old case bone... simply amazing!!
