Steve....

That was my suggestion to Fred to keep the scales or handles simple with a composite of black, OD green or dark brown.  Here is a place which sells Case knives as cheap as anyone.  No liner lock trappers but you can request and he will order them.   http://www.888knivesrus.com/

Tobias....

Those are good suggestions Tobias.  Do we have any other suggestions out there from Case fans?  Let me hear from you....everyone's opinion is welcome.

Jean....

Fred said they have some things in the works so I guess we will have to wait and see.  Thanks for the great pics.  My trapper liner lock has the pocket clip.  This knife carries very well in my front jean pocket.  I don't even know it is there till I reach for it.  I have used it to cut wood, open boxes and cut tomatoes.  I clean the blade after each use and wipe with a protective coat.

Yes, Steve. Too bad they discontinued the large yellow Sodbuster.

case collector club

Case Collectors Club

In 1972, Dewey Ferguson, a Case knife collector and author, wrote to Case President Bob Farquharson about forming a knife collectors association for the W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company. The Case Collectors Club (CCC) was established in 1981. A newsletter was introduced in March of that year to formalize communications between Case and its Club members. The first edition of the newsletter was in black and white and had eight pages. During the same year, the first Case Collectors Club Annual Club Knife, an Appaloosa Bone Large Trapper (A6151 SSP), was made available to Club members. The club began with 426 Charter Members in 1981. Today, there are nearly 18,000 members. Ferguson was listed on Case's "Wall of Fame" in 2001.

If you're talking  mofifying existing patterns for a USA Case Tactical,  I'd suggest modifying the hawkbill and the Case 72 pattern clasp knife.

Great idea, Clint.

I find that my Trapperlock is a good knife. The size (4 1/8" closed) is OK for me; I can carry the knife in my pocket or in a belt sheath. I appreciate that it has kept the same clip blade shape as the trapper, but stronger due to the saber-concave grind. The action of the blade is very smooth, the engraved thumb stud allows an easy one-hand-opening, and the liner lock is firm enough. 

I could consider getting such a yellow composition new Trapperlock, though I’m not a fan of clips. 

A modified Copperlock would be cool, too. I really like this 4 1/4"  lockback pattern (61549L). Case Legend Tom Hart combined elements from two great classic Case knife patterns (Trapper and Copperhead) to design this entirely new lockback knife. 

I should probably buy a yellow composition one, too, for I can’t decently EDC the only one I have yet:

Steve, Jean and Billy....

I have two of these single bladed Case trappers with the liner lock, thumb stud and pocket clip.  I have been EDC the yellow handle version and found it to be very handy and an excellent functioning knife.  I love this knife.  If you are a Case fan you just have to get one of these.  I have been talking to Fred at Case about converting a traditional line of single bladed knives into a tactical folder for the Case lovers who are not too keen on buying an off shore brand.  Fred told me there were things in the works.  I suggested for them to take the larger Case swing blade Coke bottle and add the pocket clip, thumb stud and liner lock.  I told him they would sell and pave the way for Case to enter the tactical knife business wherein all of the tactical knives would be made in the "USA".  We will see.......
