Has anyone used/joined the WorthPoint web site? I have reviewed the site but, was wondering if anyone had first hand information on it.

 

Thanks

 What information are you looking for?

Case Texas LockHorn is a stainless steel, 4 1/2" double end lock-back knife that has two clip blades that extend one from each end. This pattern was introduced by Case in 1980 and was discontinued around 1984 or 1985. The design came from Tom Hart who was one of Case's legendary product designers

I am looking for information on Case's Texas Lockhorn knives. I have talked to the Case historian, reviewed Jim Sargents' 6th edition, Steve Pfeiffer's book on knives and a few friends. I have not found much information on them.

I do not know how many of you have access to the collectors club forum but I would like to be certain we all stay informed regarding the latest announcements from Case.  This is the response listed at 5:54 pm today

A RESPONSE FROM CASE PRESIDENT TOM ARROWSMITH

by Lisa Boser-Miller on Thu Nov 10, 2011 5:54 pm

During the past several hours I have been reading many posts, both on Facebook, on our own Case Forums, and other venues. I’m not surprised that many of you are feeling deceived in some way. I’m not going to try to respond to everything that has been written at this time, but I do want to reemphasize a couple points.

First, Tec X is a brand that is separate and distinct from Case. All Case knives are made in the USA and will continue to be made in the USA. Nothing about our current operation - or the way we make Case knives in Bradford - will change as a result of our Tec X launch. This commitment is reflected by all of the employees who were laid off in 2009 that have since been given the opportunity to return. In fact, dozens of new employees have been hired since then.

Second, we have sourced modern knives domestically on two previous occasions. Both of those domestic sources went out of business not long after we placed initial orders. Since then, we could not locate a domestic manufacturer who could meet our requirements. When we looked at making them ourselves it was determined the capital investment required would prohibit our success in that market.

While these facts may not fully address all of your concerns, please know that Case is a company committed to its dealers, collectors, fans, employees, and the communities in which we serve across America. This new endeavor, while agreeably different from anything we’ve done previously, is not designed to disturb the legacy we’ve all built together.

It is through your support that Case employees continue making some of the highest-quality pocket knives in the world in the only place Case knives can be made...right here in the USA.

~Tom

My heart weeps at the news of this, Case has passed away in my life time. Those four letters stood for so much more than a knife, they stood for a country. Now, I have lost that love, I have no trust in a company that can't trust my brothers to produce their knives. They have taken business away from my country, so I will take business away from them, they no longer have my support.

 

I hate to say it, but I hope this blows up in their face. : (

Okay China, thats a no no.

What a shame.

 

God Bless America, I think I'll go buy myself a new GEC.

I was actually waiting for Case to compete with Spiderco and Benchmade, but I never thought they would follow the trend to using child labor in China!
