Who still carries a Case Knife?

Does any one around here regularly carry a seahorse whittler? I don’t whittle but I thought it looked like a pretty handy knife for general use and was considering ordering the amber bone with carbon steel. I looked back through 40 pages on this thread and didn’t see any but thought I’d check to see if anyone had thoughts on it for every day use.

I have tried but found it really didn't suit me (I have one in smooth chestnut bone). I think the big Wharncliffe blade is an outstanding utility-type blade, but it just isn't what I need for my daily tasks. (I typically carry a Buck 112, a Vic Fieldmaster, and a Vic Solo at home and one or two smaller knives when away.)

Being as we are talking Scout Knives. Case Junior Scout I traded a buddy for a number of years ago, don't think I ever carried it but once. Not Delrin, but I think G10 or some similar material in the handles. Case regular Scout made by Camillus in the bottom picture.

My favorite whittler is a yellow Delrin 18. It just fits my hand, and the Delrin is nearly indestructible.

However, I whittle like Chester…

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I agree the 18 is great. Mostly wondering if the seahorse is as versatile as a stockman. Hard to tell if the main is too chunky and the secondaries too dainty to be generally useful.

Yes, I think that's a good way to put it. A good knife for the intended purpose, but doesn't adapt well to general cutting tasks (IMHO).
