I don't like the clam packaging. And I don't like the blade part way open for a long period of time.

Charles's comment brings up a point I've heard before.  I've been told that removing a knife from clam packaging does not devalue the knife.  In fact older knives still in clam packaging can be damaged from the gases released from the clam packaging beign exposed to light or just stored.

I've been told you're better off removing the knife  and card stock from the clam packaging and just keeping it. 

What is  the consensus of the day?

Craig, my wife says you are contributing to the delinquency of a senior knife collector!  LOL

There's also a Brooks & Dunn. http://newgraham.com/Brooks-%26-Dunn-Mini-Blackhorn-CA9600-CA9600/

They are fairly inexpensive to collect.

Craig, yes I have started one.  I have carried one as an EDC for about three years now.  On August 29 I won the bid on eBay for the mint 1990.  I got the bid for the Merry Christmas on Sep. 4.  I bought the BSA and the Carhartt off of Knives Live and received both of them this week.  SMKW also has a National Wild Turkey Federation MIni Blackhorn that I will eventually get.

Anyone have any of Case's Mahogany Obsidian?? I think it's beautiful. Here's the Tiny Trapper in it.

Tobias, I have never used either one.  As you can see from the picture the BSA is still in the packaging and I have no intention of removing it.  The 1990 model is in mint condition so to keep it that way, I will never use it.  However I currently EDC the second Mini Blackhorn from the left which I bought from Lowes a year or so ago.  I really like my EDC.  It handles all my normal cutting chores just fine.  Since all five of the knives are identical except for age and cosmetics, I think they should all handle and work equally well.  Going from left to right the knives are a Merry Christmas from 1993, my current production EDC, the BSA, the mint standard model from 1990, and a new Carhartt just acquired from SMKW.

Charles got me on the Blackhorn, i really like it, I have one in my pocket right now.

That's a nice Blackhorn, Charles.  How does it compare to your Case BSA Mini-Blackhorn?
