Who still carries a Case Knife?

I was hoping you’d post a picture with the Jack front and center. No disrespect to the Ebony, but that Jack is fantastic!

Thank you, My friend.
I also appreciate Case Jack Knives.

Is that a 6292, John? Might just be the angle of the shot, but it looks more squared off than mine. Great color bone, as well....

 

[JohnDF]

It's just the angle, it's got the typical square bolsters.

..... or, you could convert the clip blade to a wharnfoot style and slightly re-profile the spey.... just sayin....

I have seen your picture before and like what you did with the knife - your "Wharnfoot" looks very functional and is nicely shaped. The drawback to me is that the Sheepfoot/Lambsfoot/Coping/Wharncliffe style blade (in that order) is very functional and my second most used blade, while the Clip is the most useful blade to me - it's also visually the best looking blade. The Spey blade is the least useful blade to me unless I use it as a Spear or Pen; a Mini Trapper with Clip Main and Sheepfoot Secondary would be most useful. OH
Ps. what method did you use to cut off the excess blade material before shaping to the final blade profile?

A Dremel with a cut-off wheel. Went slowly, to avoid heat issues. Once the majority was gone, I evened it up on my little belt sander. I wanted to make it more of a real lambfoot, but the nail nick wouldn't let me, so I went from there, rounding it slightly.... not really a wharncliffe, not really a lambfoot...

I agree about the clip main and sheepfoot style as secondary... we should talk to Mr Case.....

hornetguy thanks for the answer, going to cut my blade one day soon, appreciate the tips on how to do it right. Carried this Case Whittler yesterday, probably carry it again today. OH

Hi, Thanks.
as I said on another topic related to Case :
I really like the tones of this micarta on this simple trapper. It is a nice knife to use

I have been carrying this 30 year old Large Saddlehorn a lot recently , and usually with another brand .

I bought it to carry and use , not to just look at . It is a very nice hand full .

That saddlehorn looks sweet, Harry! Glad to hear it’s getting some honest work. Lions don’t like to be held in cages (safes)

I carry this in the rotation on occasion. It has a nice natural patina on the blade. I really enjoy it when I do carry it.

Beautiful John, we all could use more yellow Delrin in our lives!

Right?
It's bright and cheery, and basically indestructible.
