There they are. Thanks Max. I don't know why I don't like the ones with the etch. Maybe if I get one WITH the etch it will grow on me. It doesn't look too bad in your pictures. 

Funny, I was looking at the "Half Whittler and you post pictures of some Corelon knives!

Craig, that's why I posted the pics, had them for years. Also have some micro toothpicks in it about an inch and a half long! Have to take some pics tomorrow and post them!

Deadwood knives has quite a few in stock in all patterns. http://www.deadwoodknives.com/c-12153-case-xx.aspx?pagenum=1&se...

I try to stay away from blade etch. Looks real bad if you mess them up.

That's the only problem with etches in general. If there's a minor scratch or abrasion you want to polish out the etch gets messed up. And it's a royal pain to work with Q-Tips and toothpicks  to get around the etch.....which I have done.

Anyone have any of the "Barnboard Burnt White Bone"?  Pictures? I'm looking at this one...........

I feel the need for a Whittler.

I have a couple but they're called Barnboard Burnt Oatmeal Bone.

Hmmm, what's the difference, if any? Different year of manufacture?  Thanks Max.

Okay thanks Max, I appreciate it!

Craig both of the knives the Toothpick and the Slimline below are from Jan 2009. I do have a burnt white from 2005 but it has regular jigging.

I wanted to get a Whittler or two this month, but I was looking at your Stockmans in the Stockman group...........so many knives, so little money. I wonder, if I had Cass play a tambourine while I danced on the corner.........

So your a dancer!! I gotta do something also!  but not sure what!

No, I'm not a dancer. I just kinda wiggle and hope for some pennies and an occasional nickel.

Hey Max, I see you got the new Chestnut Smooth Bone Stockman. Did you get any others in the Chestnut Smooth Bone?

Hey, who's got Gray Bones? I'm 90% sure I'm getting one of these this month........I'm in love with the 33!

Good question Craig.  I have a single bladed trapper with pocket clip in a gray bone.  Hey research this issue and report back to us?  I would like to know my self.

My EDC is the same knife with the yellow handles.  One thing I learned about the CV steel is it will turn black if you stick it in a fresh lemon.  LOL!  My regular stainless steel has no problem with lemons.  However, this just makes my trapper that much more cooler.

Clint you can put a patina on you CV knives with vinegar and it will retard most other corrosion. I have done this on several of my EDC's with CV and it surely helps. Put the blades in vinegar for a couple of hours then wash with dish washing soap and rinse and dry. Looks pretty good too.

Gerald...

Thanks for the info.  Yes I know about the vinegar which I use for the EDC carbon steel knives.  But this EDC is on a long term usage test for an up coming article.  I can polish the black off of the blade as it never corroded the CV.  I am looking for just every day use to see how this knife and steel does.  Again, thanks for your suggestion.

"....up coming article."

I'll be anxious to read it!

Looking over this one too - 

A question - 

Can anyone show me the differences between;

Orange Blaze Bone

Cayene

Orange Peel

I'll probably end up getting something in each one anyway, but I was just wondering if there' much difference between the three colors. It's hard to tell from some of the pictures I've found doing a google.

Does anyone have any of the Pinecone bone? I think it looks cool!

Got Hairy bones?

I like this too.........

Latest addition to my case knives.

Is that the one that has an elephant etch on one side and sunfish on the other?  One very nice knife!

Just the elephant. I have another one but it has Crandall on it. I was wanting an older one. Now I want a case boot knife. lol

Lee, that is a Beauty!!

Craig, yes I have two Hairy Bones!

Nice one Lee! 

That looks really nice Max, thanks. I think I'm going to get one tonight......the small stockman.

I love getting on here and reading everything you all have to say.  And to see pictures of all the great knives!  Just love it. 

Well I ordered a Hairy Bone 6333. And three other 6333s. And two 6344s. And two 63032s. I guess I'm getting to be a Case collector. LOL! With a sub collection of Stockmans?

Yes Max, I'm going crazy in my old fart days. Well, you know I was away from serious collecting for a number of years. I think I went into withdrawal. And since I took early retirement and the kids are grown and gone, I'm back with a vengeance. Though my money trees are bare and have bugs.

I don't know what it is but, I really like this slant bolster Humpback!

Anyone have a good picture of one?

Thinking of going stag in April.

Can't go wrong with Stag! Those are all some lookers!

Or is this an April Fools joke? HaHa

Question:

Why would this 1980 Smooth Rose bone Mini Coke Bottle have a perfect Patina on the Main blade if Case has been using Stainless steel since the 60's?

Tang stamps read: CaseXX / 10 dots / USA - Main blade, 62251/2 / SR Pen blade.

moisture in storage, or stored open with celluloids, salt water , or just cleaned and stored with wrong oil 

I thought some of them were carbon steel. I know my brother-in-law carried a Case pen knife in the smooth red bone in the early 80's and it was CV. Shouldn't it have "SS" on it? I've seen listings on the net that say CV too. I had a 6233 in the smooth red bone, but it had glaze finished stainless blades.

"Old Case Knife "Smooth Red Appaloosa Bone Jack". Beautiful smooth red Appaloosa bone handles. High polished chrome vanadium clip point and pen blades. Nickel silver bolsters. Brass liners and handle pins. Tang stamped "CASE XX USA". Cute little pocket knife by CASE."

Max, It better not be an April Fools joke! I'd be mad at myself!

Found a Bruce Voyles listing -  "Trio of Smooth Red bone Case knives. 1980's. SR6225 ½ coke bottle with some specks...."

I also see other ebay listings that say carbon steel for the smooth red bones.

I like the 08 in stag too - 

Stockmans come first? LOL!

Brad, "SR" stands for "Satin Rose" - Case's name. From what I can remember and what I see around and about the internet, I'd say yours is CV. I believe Case always has "SS" when it's stainless.

Also just found this........

SR62027 Small Jack
SR6220 Peanut
SR6225-1/2 Coke Bottle
SR6244 Jack
SR6347-1/2 Stockman

"The above knives were made from 1979-1981 with chrome vanadium (CV) blade steel, and with no shields in the handles. Then in late 1981 and into 1982 Case changed the blade steel to stainless steel (SS) with a glazed finish, and with shields."
