In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on February 8, 2012 at 16:47: Robert, that's great news, I have bought several copperheads but have always given them away as presents. It might be time for me to keep one for myself. Good luck with yours.

Comment by robert benton on February 8, 2012 at 16:27: Robert, The Copperhead seems like it would be a great EDC but i usually rotate knives that i carry. the knife that sees the most carry time is a RR441 stockman with stag handles,will let you know after i carry it for a while

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on February 8, 2012 at 7:57: Robert, I just got a copperhead for a friend, it's a great patern for a knife. Tell us how yours works out.

Comment by robert benton on February 6, 2012 at 18:47: Picked up a RR313 large Red jigged bone copperhead.Nice knife all around anyone else have one of these

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on February 6, 2012 at 17:25: Here's a look at my new Rough Rider moose, it really does look rough and ready.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on February 6, 2012 at 11:38: In my collection of knives, W.R. Case & Sons is number two behind Camillus when it comes to US made knives. Overall, it is the number 4 most numerous brand name.

1. Rough Rider

2. Victorinox

3. Camillus

4. Case

I know many say, that Case aren't as good as they used to be, but I find them a quality made USA knife, and compared to the price of other USA made knives, probably still the best bang for your buck when collecting USA made. I know the GEC crowd would beg to differ.

Unfortunately the price is a somewhat cost prohibitive, and the variety if not as wide as Rough Riders.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on February 6, 2012 at 10:24: I have never had to send a knife back because of a problem with it. They have all been well made for the amount of money being spent. I don't want to say anything about a Case knife that might offend our Case collectors. The brand knife that I have the most of is Case, the older ones I might add. I just try to enjoy both brands. Tobias, those sure are sweet little lady and gentlemen knives.
