Who still carries a Case Knife?

Agree.
I hear "Orange" is the "New Black". 😇👍

Orange is also ever so much easier to re-locate if/when you set it down ... or drop it ... when hiking (with or without a bicycle to save wear & tare on your foots/ankles/knees/hips/back, and footwear), camping, hunting, or fishing a remote river/stream/creek/pond/lake. 😇👍

I like the way Case carried the jigging into the bolster :thumbsup:
How's it feel in the hand? Overall impressions?

I bought straight from Case and the one they sent me is very good. Well, except for their funky edges. Anyway, it feels good in the hand in most grips. If you try to grip it very tightly, the upper part of the axe handle flare can dig into your palm some. Of course, this is the wrong type of knife for that kind of use where you’d need to tightly clench the handle. It’s a reasonable compromise between looks and function, IMO.

Overall, I really like the pattern and on my sample of one, the quality seems good. Looking forward to the other covers being released. A solid addition to their line.

Certain colors just fit certain knives. A sodbuster in black or orange delrin looks more "correct" than a yellow one. But a yellow trapper feels more correct than a black or orange one. I have no explanation and many will probably disagree with me. 😂

I've only seen a few of these in the wild. I've been considering buying one. But honestly they seem a little odd to me. They also feel like they should be cam tangs rather than having halfstops. But I also have that same opinion about copperheads.
I'll probably still buy one eventually. I really like that mahogany(?) bone one.

Yes mahogany bone. I actually like the half stop. Nice knife, a little smaller than I was expecting. As stated by SharpBits the end of the handle pushes into your palm if you are gripping it hard. I have my eye on some other covers I will probably pick up when they are more readily available.

yes, I've often thought about filing down the kick a little bit on the sheepsfoot, but I just haven't found time yet

Question:
Without looking at the picture, how did I know it was a x318? 🤔

Looks good in red bone.
Mine is a yeller 3318cv. 😇 (Yes. I filed down the kick.)
(I really should carry it more, but I like the slightly larger x375cv/ss a bit more ... better grip, & I don't have to beat my right thigh every few minutes to make sure it hasn't escaped. 😊)
