😂 Thank you sir. Groovy indeed! I am the steward of a collection of about 500-600 Case knives with smatterings of other brands. It comes from my father in law who left it to me to care for. He is a child of the 60’s and has quite the groovy taste! I thought I’d start sharing some of his collection.

Totally agree with Patrick! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:
Are all those astoundingly colorful, funkily-patterned knives in the last pic mini trappers?

IMHO, you saved the BEST for first! 🤓:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Case sowbelly stockman knives (actually, that pattern from almost any maker) blow me away!

Thanks GT. No, the last pic is all full size beasts. There are about 40 full size trappers in the drawer, so I just gave a sample 😂.

Yes indeed, the sowbelly is a thing of beauty. More to come!

Thanks for the correction regarding the trappers, Jon. Probably just wishful thinking on my part, because I almost never carry full size trappers (although I like using them in the kitchen), while I think mini trappers are a wonderful knife to carry. :rolleyes:🤓
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your (or your FIL's) sowbelly stockman examples. (I just took delivery on some Rough Ryder sowbellies today, including a 5-blader.)

Back to the Case party at hand.


Pearl beauties. The half whittler is the one with the best pearl and best walk and talk.

Some more sowbellies.

Because…every guy needs a hummingbird cheetah to go with their American flag cheetah.

I need more umph on this blade please.

Thanks for the show. 👍 I love that damascus turquoise mini trapper! 🤤

Agreed on the gunstock blades. I was so disappointed by the one I bought, it just doesn’t make sense to me making the main blade so small on that frame.

No doubt the turquoise is the belle of the ball. It’s probably in my top 5 of the whole collection.

The Gunstock is such a great frame and size with an inexplicable blade. If they put a GEC 44ish clip in that sucker it would be game over. But why would they want to make a great knife, when they could make 10 bizarre patterns instead?

Whoops. This is a celebration of Case. I forgot my manners.

I really like the checkering of the one in the right and the shield work in the one on the left.

So this is how people enable others!

Variety is the spice of life and you have truly seasoned yours Jon.
I, too, like those gunstocks ( perhaps with some more belly to the blade).

Absolutely! That was the only reason I haven't gotten one. I like the gunstock style but that main blade just doesn't look right for the pattern. It's almost like the main could be the secondary blade.
