It’s quite an EPIC combination.<br/><br/> <span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Details -</strong></span><br/> Item# 03990<br/> Pattern# - 5154LC CV<br/> Made: USA<br/> One-hand opening<br/> Trapper w/ linerlock (trapperLock)<br/> Thumbstud<br/> 3” Chrome Vanadium steel blade<br/> Genuine Burnt Stag Handles<br/> Pocket / Belt Clip<br/> Overall Length – 7 ¼”<br/> 4 1/8” Closed<br/> Weight: 4 ounces<br/> Brass Liners<br/> Nickel Silver Bolsters<br/><br/><br/> <span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>The TripleF – Fit, Finish & Functionality – 9.9</strong></span><br/> What? It’s a CASE Knife….whaddaya think I’m going to say?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> CASE knives are purposefully precision pieces of perfection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Every nook and cranny of this American made knife conveys confidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> This is vital….pay close attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> I just noticed something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> The portion if the tang, when the knife is closed, can have a sharp edge exposed, but not on this Case knife as it has been slightly smooth or rounded as to not cause a cut or abrasion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s the pursuit of perfection, and that’s what you get from Case Knives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br/><br/> <span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Collectiblity – 10.0</strong></span><br/> Case has the largest knife collecting club in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> I believe it’s around 20,000 members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People collect Case knives and pass them on…….and on…………and on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Even broken Case knives sell on eBay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> They are the king of the snow mountain (remember playing that) as far as collectable knives are concerned.<br/><br/> <span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Accessibility – 9.8</strong></span><br/> The clip and thumbstud make this a one-hand opening knife, and you know…….you must know by now, that I ALWAYS have a knife clipped to my strong side pocket for EDC! ALWAYS!<br/><br/> <span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Kinks in the Armor – 9.6<br/></strong></span> One of the keys to reviewing a knife is constant handling (fondling). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Open. Close. Cut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Repeat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Don’t Cut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Open. Close. Roll in hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Repeat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> The key in discovering the “kinks” is to accelerate the handling time as if I had owned it for 3, 5, or 10 years and knew the knife like the back of my hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br/><br/> With that in mind, here are my little itsy-bitsy glitches.<br/><br/> 1).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> The clip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Even though CASE KNIVES gets MEGA Steel Sahlutes for adding a clip to a traditional trapper knife so it can be carried on the pocket for easy access…..when out of the pocket the clip digs you in the palm of your hand when your executing long durations of cutting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> The tip of the clip could be flattened to eliminate this.<br/><br/> 2). The clip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> As much as I love the clip, on the stag handle it creates too much pressure and pulling the knife from the pocket lip, lifts your entire pocket in the air about 6 inches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> I think the clip would enable easier access on the Case Bone Series knives.<br/><br/> 3). The blade edge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Upon opening the knife and rubbing my thumb across the blade edge, I said……..hmmmmmmmm, is that a little bur I feel?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Indeed, it was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> So, out of the box I had to apply some knife sharpening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> So, the good news is, it takes and holds and edge quite easily. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First knife, I’ve ever had to sharpen out of the box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br/></font></span></p>
