Coming out.........

POCKET WORN HARVEST ORANGE FOLDING HUNTER SS

If that Soddie was stainless I'd be all over it.

Personally I yearn for the days of carbon bladed knives made by Case.  In my mind's eye....you use the stainless or CV knives as they should be, the blades show the wear and scratches.  The once shiny knife now is scared and somehow less appealing. 

The shiny new carbon steel knife is also beautiful but with use and age it is like a woman who matures and blossoms and is truly your companion.  Your carbon steel knife is unlike any other...unique and special and with tender care and attention will be your partner for the rest of your life.

Clint, I like my knives the way I like my woman/women, low maintenance, and stain-less. 

I agree with you, Clint, you are a poet.

Clint what you say is so true! With a little steel work a carbon steel beginning to dull can be returned to original edge. The down side is that those old blades lacked thickness and would flake if you worked them too much with a stone. At least the blades I'm thinking of are the early tested and before. Here poted is an example.

I love an old carbon steel knife that has taken on a great patina. It seems to have improved with age and has taken on a new beauty all it's on.

I appreciate carbon steel nowadays. Never used to. That being said I still lean towards stainless. But if Case has a knife I can't live without, and it's in CV, that's fine with me.

Speaking of CV..........new from Case........Mini Copperlock in CV.  Have they ever made a Copperlock or Mini Copperlock in CV before, I can't remember.

DARK RED JIGGED BONE MINI COPPERLOCK (CV) 

Also new coming out. I like the single blade Sowbelly. 

PACIFIC BLUE BONE SOWBELLY SS

Howard....

Stainless is so cold, lifeless and if heated up too hot may or may not return to its original shape.  Carbon steel is warm, beautiful and dependable.  Unique in its own way.  Yes carbon steel needs a little more attention and loving care but the rewards are worth it.  I love my carbon steel Case knives.

I agree with Ron.

A nice YELLOW large Copperlock in CV.

Hahahaha.  Well, the best stainless has high carbon.  CPM-3V (.8C), 154CM (1.05C), BG-42 (1.15C).  [1095 (.9-1.03C)].  So, a bunch of "stainless" has essentially 1095 carbon in it.  And, after a few years your stainless blade looks better than you do (not a bad thing in my case).  Eventually, 1095 needs cosmetic surgery to look good.  I know 1095 tugs at the heartstrings of some, but if we didn't move on to bigger and better we would still be listening to cassettes or 8-tracks, and transistor radios.

Howard, I would still be listening to vacuum tube radios!  LOL

Charles, if you find one, it'll probably still be getting 1930s-1940s radio stations.  Wow!  Glenn Miller on Armed Forces Radio!  The Shadow, the Bickersons, The Loooone Ranger.

Jean-Francois that is a mighty fine lookin Copperlock!

Howard, you sure are bringing back memories.  I remember sitting in front of our floor model radio as I was growing up listening to the Lone Ranger.  It was my favorite program.  It was about three feet tall with a wood cabinet.  Obviously just an AM radio with vacuum tubes.  I remember the family sitting around listening to it and eating popcorn. 

I've had my eye on the single blade Sow for a while now.  Sooner or later one will call out to me loud enough.

If you hold that Pacific Blue up to your ear you can hear the Ocean.

Ah ha, I thought there was a CV Copperlock made before. Thanks Jean-Francois!

Yep, here's another,

CHARLES I DID THAT EXACT SAME THING! I ALSO REMEMBER LISTENING TO GEORGE AND GRACIE AS WELL.

Income Tax return is coming. Cass said I can have a bit for knives! Yay! Or....should I buy new underwear? Hmmm.......decisions, decisions.

Good point Max!

It's a trap, Craig.  Valentine's Day is between you and the refund.  Choose wisely!

So, your saying I should get HER underwear? 

I say get yourself a good Case Pruner (AKA hawkbill) and you can use it on the flowers you give her for Valentines Day.  I call that a winner-wiiner!

Hmmm......good idea! LOL!

What's wrong with me.....I have Stag on the brain. In fact I can feel two little bumps on my head. Could it be............?!

Just in!

I dislike dealers that keep things listed on their site as "in stock", but it's really NOT in stock! If they don;t have "real time inventory" then they need to keep their site cleaned up!

For you Seahorse lovers......four new ones coming out!

The Mini Trapper is being added to the Pocket Worn Bermuda line.....

I agree Craig!

Very nice Craig

AMEN, Craig!

Actually it's G-10, and the other is Smooth Chestnut Bone. I guess I should have used the larger pictures.

Getting the (gas) logs going and curling up with my Case knives getting ready for another Winter storm.  Hope it misses us.

Some good pictures of the new purple Sod Buster over at the CCC.  Looks a lot better than I thought it would! 

I was shocked at how well the purple Soddie came out. 

Hey they do look nice I have to get one on order. The Chestnut CV looks good also

I might have to start a Case Soddie collection!

Yes I know Paul, I still need the Amber bone. Maybe next week!

Q

I have a couple of CASE CLASSIC cheetahs in ivory for sale. Probaly need to sit on the ivory stockman , but would trade for Case Classic sunfish in stag or pearl. I have to ask what does a pre-ban ivory item ban accomplish?
