Wow, you really got one with nice color! If it wasn’t for that “gap” in the back spring that thing would be perfect!
The gap is a part of the whole slit spring design. I’ve seen a lot with the “proud” liner and this one is flush so I was happy about that.Wow, you really got one with nice color! If it wasn’t for that “gap” in the back spring that thing would be perfect!

OOh, that is an enviable one for sure. A Buck 315 is definitely on my "to acquire" list.

I was on standby for one of those, still hoping one comes through, not likely, I know, just not going to pay flipper price. Yours sure look nice though!Haha, unfortunately voice inflection can get lost in text easy for me
Thanks Todd. I’ll keep an eye out for you if I canI was on standby for one of those, still hoping one comes through, not likely, I know, just not going to pay flipper price. Yours sure look nice though!

Just received my new Case Medium Jack with CV blades and Red Jigged Bone.
It's not a stellar example of craftsmanship, but it's plenty good for a "user" knife.
Flaws... if I'm being picky, there is slight gaps in the liners/springs and the edge needs work.
If I'm being a little less picky, and the thing that's more bothersome, is the main blade is way off center.
Everything else is well done and I'm happy to finally have something a little fancier than as-ground stainless and synthetic ebony.
