I’ve been wanting another Case 6345 for quite a long time. I’ve been looking at this particular model for several years and thanks to some occasional pictures and comments by jlhoffman74 jlhoffman74 I finally jumped off the fence.

Thanks, Jeff!

Cool knife, Rick. That bone jigging looks to be first rate. Enjoyed carrying my new Half Whittler today!IMG_1930.jpeg
 
Arrived here super fast :eek: Left Knoxville 30 Oct, here 4th Nov :cool: Fed X Finland may have a website that baffles anybody but a corporation but I mastered them and carried out my own customs' clearance since the X is eager to charge a fat fee for this uh uh!

Not only fast delivery but a minty fresh knife that only left the factory 17 Oct :thumbsup: Absolutely delighted with it too with NO build faults at all. Flush spring, no gaps, no play. Very exact construction, spring cut off cleanly , properly radiused. Was sharp on arrival but was tuned it on the diamonds now it's a devil. It also has a very pointy tip which some people have been disappointed by. CASE must be listening. I like the nail cut out Scagel style as it works well on a single blade and facilitates opening. It's strongly sprung too which I prefer and very loud talk :) Think I know when I handle a very good knife and this is it, the white liners are a great addition. Oddly, not usually a fan of Blue knives but this works and works well.

Thanks,

Will

Your welcome! 😁 I think it's such a great pattern, it's similar in size to the Camillus #14 frame, it's a great size for a pocket knife. It looks like yours is more of a green in it than mine, the one I have is more of a brown but it's still an enjoyable knife to carry.

Many thanks Paul :thumbsup: Really pleased with it and the steel seems fantastic .

You seem to be reeling in some very choice catches lately :cool: The Nortwoods is outstanding but that oldster Sportsman's knife you're showing in another thread is really something.

I also have a 6345 from the Tested era and I notice a couple of minor differences in this 1987 model.

The 1987 model has wider backsprings which make it a thicker knife overall. It also has more defined edges on the bolsters which make it feel a bit more “square” in comparison. The bolsters on the Tested era model are rounded in every direction.

I like both of those features on this 1987 model. It’s great to have finally gotten one. I lubed the joints and touched up the edges this morning. I plan to take it on its maiden voyage tomorrow on my delivery route. I’ll post another pic in the EDC thread when I stop somewhere long enough to take a picture. Should be interesting to see how well the green shows up in different lighting. Mine does look brown in certain lighting conditions.
 
My second Buck just arrived, it's the 112, a little big for my standard, but I like it a lot.

I've had a safe-queen 885UH for about 6 years now, a pretty low serial numbered Schrade Walden complete with box, papers and sleeve, #30337. Been looking for a user one for a while now and finally snagged one for a decent price off the Bay. Identical to the first one, with the same swedge and edges, all tang stamps, etc. Even the serial numbers were only a few thousand apart, with the newer one #34955, both made in 1971. The new one has a 8-9 pull on the clip main and the sheepfoot is a little lazy closing, plus it's lost the head off one of the cover pins on the mark side, but it'll do for a user. It has a slightly darker tint to the covers, no sleeve for the box, and the good ol' 440A stainless still takes a great edge.

Glad it arrived and you got a good one and like it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 🤠
 
This one just landed. Sheephorn scales and Chevron Damascus from Shayne Carter. Shayne's beautiful Chevron Damascus is particularly well-suited to this one, I think -- it almost gives the impression that the striations on the handle have continued on up the length of the blade...:cool:
