I just put Renaissance Wax on my carbon steel EDCs. I don't like oily knives in my pocket. Renaissance Wax has been working great for me since I went to carbon steel!

Here is my newest Case knife. It is a 4 1/8" Moose in Sunset Winterbottom Bone.

That's a pretty one Billy!

That's a really nice Moose. Billy.  Sunset winterbone is reallu nice, too.  Did you hear why its called "wnterbone" the other night?

Great looking Moose, Billy.  I really like the texture and color of the handles,  and I picked up a hawkbill in the Sunset winterbone.  Nice addition to your collection!

Toby, I didn't hear, I may not have been paying attention. Why did they call it that?  Craig, Bill, thanks. Bill, I figured you added one to your Hawkbill collection. I think this is one of the nicer colors and textures that Case has had out in a while. I really like the Case Stag knives, but don't like spending that much just to have them.

Apparently back in the day, there were numerous companies that provided knife scales to cutlery makers.  One of those companies was the Winterbottom Bone Company.  This was the style jigging the company used on their bone.  They also mentioned another bone jig pattern that was named after a company but I don't recall who it was.

Queen was well known for using a lot of Winterbottom back in the day. 

The other company was the "Rogers Manufacturing Company" 

Bernard Levine - "...the firm started in business in 1891, making manufactured bone products, and also bone fertilizer." 

Didn't Case recently make some in "Rogers Bone"? Or was it Queen?

One thing I like about Case......they have a good selection of smaller knives!

Some people, like me, like a smaller knife, and some people can only carry a smaller knife out of their house because of stupid knife laws.

Hi all,

Can anybody recommend a good way to display Case trappers? I'm trying to decide between the countertop display and the wooden case with grid. If you recommend the grid, which one should fit trapper and other larger folding knives.

Thanks!

Paul

:-)

If I remember, Smokey Mountain Knife Works sells a display case made just for Trappers. At least I THOUGHT it was SMKW.....maybe it was somewhere else. Geez, I forget where I saw it, BUT, I KNOW I saw it! 

At least it wasn't my addled pea brain! But, I thought I saw one that displayed more than three? Maybe not....maybe my addled brain is adding that part. 

The six pack is out of stock at the moment

6 Trapper Display

THAT'S IT Toby! Thanks, now I know I'm not completely nuts.

I'll give that a look-see. Thanks a lot!

It looks like a nice Trapper display. I might eventually get one myself.

I need some new display cases. I made some big ones with glass fronts that I hung on the walls, but I sold them years ago. I'm thinking about getting the segmented ones and see if I can hang them on the walls. These - http://www.smkw.com/webapp/eCommerce/products/Smoky+Mountain+Knife+...

I like they way the Case wooden display looks. Will probably get the 12x18G if it can accommodate the trappers. I sent an email to Shepherd Hill asking about this.

I'm with ya. they look real nice. Only thing is they would not match anything else in my make shift room. lol

The case will look nicer then most of my pieces. lol

lol...I know what you mean. It's a good way to make your collection stand out...that's for sure. I have a couple of Case display cases (without the grid) that I inherited, and they look better than what I have him them. This time, though, I just want a display with a grid, to just keep and display my folded knives.

The ones at SMKW are inexpensive, so maybe they'll work? I DO like the looks of those display cases at Shepherd Hills.

I went withe something a little larger. (Actually this is one of two large ones.  I also have a couple smaller display cases and i'm workign on a "Wall of Knives")

Nice, Toby.

Here are the display cases that I keep my Case knives in.

Toby and Billy, those are real nice! For myself, I wanted something I could hang on the wall with a glass front, like I used to make myself. The ones at Shepherd Hills are pretty much what I want, I just wish they were a bit cheaper. 

A whole dresser for knives! Hmmm.........

Those are really nice setups, Toby and Billy!

Toby, I like that Jack Daniels jug, too!! lol

Craig look at this site.

Thanks Gerald! They have a lot of stuff! 

Does anyone know if the Gray Bone Mid Folding Hunter has the pocket clip?

Good question Emory! I can't find anyone that shows the back side, and I can't find a mention of a pocket clip!

I only know of one Mid folding hunter without a clip and it is the Old Red pocket worn one. So I would assume it had a clip.

You'd think someone around here would have one to tell us about. But if you have only seen the Old Red pocket worn without one, that would be a good assumption Gerald.

Well after some discussion with some of the Case forum guys it looks like it may not have a clip. So there is still some question I haven't seen one and none of the web sites say anything about a pocket clip.

The only other one I've seen without a clip is the Gold lip Pearl one,but it is looking like Case has put the clip on only one so far.

Check out the Case Link.   Looks like on the Bermuda Green has the pocket clip.

I found a revew on Nutnfancy at the Case booth at the Shot Show.  There was a Gray Bone and a smooth bone.  He picked up the smooth bone and turned it over and there was no clip and it looked like there was not one on the Gray either.  I used to have one and lost it and have always wanted another.  I found one on Ebay for $53 buy it now, but I wanted to see if it had a clip or not.  I don't think it does, but I lost the other one when it was clipped to my pocket so I might not mind it not having one.  Thank you all for you help on this.

I wonder why they'd only put it on one? Not popular? 

This link to Case shows a Hunter in Green Bone with a pocket clip.  Is this what you are talking about?  I can call Fred at Case and inquire about your questions.

Emory and Craig...

Check out this part of the Case web site:

http://www.wrcase.com/sidesearch/index.php?q=liner+lock&Submit=...

Clint, I saw that page on Case's site and it looks like the only one with the clip is the green.  I think I'm going to go with the Gray Bone even though it doesn't look like it's going to have one.  I lost my previous one because it came "unclipped" from my pocket on a walk one day, so it's probably best if I don't use it like that anyway, fits better in the hand without a clip too.  Thanks everyone!

Emory...

Case would replace the clip if you would like.  I have the trappers and don't have the problem with the clip when handling the knife.  In fact I don't even know it is there.

The clip is kinda neat, but to me, a clip on a traditional pattern looks kinda strange. 

When possible, I even remove the clip from tactical knives. I really don't care much for them and prefer my folders in a pocket or sheath.  I don't like the feel of the knife in the hand and it really doesn't help me get the knife out of my pocket. I much prefer a bail and a lanyard.

I generally don't like the feel of a knife clipped to the corner of my pocket, especially when I sit down.

I like the "Nautical Theme" knives they have out. My father-in-law would have LOVED them...he was into old sailing ships big time.

In Cayenne Bone this month.......http://www.casexx.com/wrCase.asp

Whatcha think of this? I think it's really cool! It's a "Civil War - Union Blue" edition knife, BUT, I think it looks like a really nice "patriotic" type knife! I want one!
