Eased into the day with coffee, birdwatching, and an older Case 6232 Texas Jack. Hope hump day is treating you well

For the last three days, this mid 1970's Case 6207 with Delrin handles. Hard snap but moderate opening force - made just right and still just right. OH

Great looking knife Bruce, I really need to pick up a 70s era Case.

Here’s my little black synthetic pocket hunter I picked up last summer at the Lake of the Ozarks. Headed there again this summer, plain to pick up several new Case knives.

Indeed, if you love good pocketknives and have never owned a decent Case from the 1970’s you owe it to yourself to try one. Warning, it’s a long and slippery slope (but you will be happy to own one), OH

Took the boat to the Pamlico River today and met up with my oldest daughter and her husband. We had anchored for lunch when my wife and daughter began that “I thought you had the knife for the sandwiches“ conversation with each other. Guess who had an adequate size pocketknife with him? You guessed it (we live for those occasions don’t we? OH

This is an excellent little Barlow built by Case

As I recall that was your first modification of a blade - still looks good and has got to be a great mod for usefulness. OH

Nice looking Jack Hickory, nice blade mod.

Great post Gary! Love the Sodbuster Jr, I have one also, and that canoe is spectacular. Are you at the Chris-Craft regalia you mentioned before?

Thanks, Todd; my rotation schedule just happened to assign me quite a number of Case knives for the week of July 5-11.
I took the pic of my SBJr with an "economy" wooden boat at the dock of the cottage we rent in Michigan's U.P. several years ago. The Antique Wooden Boat Show in Hessel, MI is always the second Saturday in August, and we have a cottage reserved near there for the first 2 full weeks of August. So we're not there yet, but coincidentally, we spent much of Friday and Saturday near Petoskey, MI (northern Lower Peninsula) for a niece's "destination wedding". The wedding took place at a venue in the Bay Harbor area near Petoskey; it seems to be a resort area for "the rich and famous". I certainly felt "out of my element" there, but I did take a walk on one of the docks of their Yacht Club between the wedding and the reception. One of the boats I saw had FOUR 400hp outboards (don't remember if they were Mercury or Yamaha) hanging off the back; it was one of many monsters docked there on Friday late afternoon.

What a beast that must have been. We’re passing through your part of the country tomorrow. Got the whole family, including my 86 year old mother-n-law with us. We’re going to drop her off in Big Rapids to visit her sister, and the rest of us are going on up to Traverse City for the rest of the week, kind of an anniversary trip. Haven’t been there since 1993. Looking forward to seeing some cool boats, and of course, I’ll have my Jack with me.
