The Antique River Log knives are showing up at the dealers. And they look great.....in my opinion. :-)

Saturday is getting close. We are pulling out about 5 am. 4 hour drive to Lebanon Missouri. SHC or bust.

Wish I could be there!! Except, going to SHC, I'd come home with so many Case knives the car would be dragging it's bum all the way home! LOL!

I bet I wont come home with as many as I'll want. the wife is going with me just to make sure I don't. 

Ya'll get some pics and show us the fun please!

I'll try to get the wife to take some. It might keep her busy while I'm shopping. lol

New Nut!

Just got home. Real long day but I really enjoyed it. Jan I'm really sorry but I got so busy I forgot to take any pictures. I did see Max taking some though. Tony Bose was jumping all over the place but he did take time out to sign a couple of boxes for me. I'll try to post some pic's of my finds tomorrow. For now though I'll just say mammoth Ivory and abalone 

When I first started collecting I thought I would only collect yellow knives. That went out the window along time ago. But I still pick up a couple from time to time.

Thought I would show off a Christmas tree mini coke bottle that I found on ebay while I'm at it. Wish I had a camera that was good enough to show the inside of it. The liners and the inside of the mainspring also have file work.

Great looking knives, Lee.

Great load of knives Lee!!

Thanks all. It was a lot of fun.

Lee, so glad you had a good time and the knives are awesome.  I love mine from last years.  I should have told you to tell that old dog hello

I have a couple of pics from the celebration. Steve Wells getting pinned by Lisa Boser-Miller with his Ambassador Pin since he became a Case Ambassador at the Case Event in Norris,Tn.

Steve with the President and CEO of Case/Zippo Mr. Greg Booth

Lisa Sebenick, NKCA President and Editor and a Shepherd Hills person I didn't get her name. Lisa is the one with the great tan!

Awesome MOP, Craig!

Thanks Max!

Just a piece of Case History on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-W-R-Case-Sons-Cutlery-Co-Algonquin-...

Hi Folks - Can someone confirm for me that the Case nomenclature "Baby Butterbean" and "Butterbean" are 2 different names for the exact same 62132 (with bone scales) pattern? Thanks - Jon Salmon

I'll confirm it, Jon.  Not that I have any official capacity on the matter, I do collect them.  I've seen "Baby Canoe" as well.  No matter what you call it, a 62132 is a bone handled "Butterbean", "Baby Butterbean" or "Baby Canoe".  (X)2131 is a full-sized Canoe.

I third it. LOL!

Another new P-Nut!

Here is my contribution to all of the Case fans.

Very cool Jeremy!!

Saw this W.R. Case-Tony Bose Lockback Whittler in the Case Fall catalog today.

Five handles:  Peach seed jigged Antique Bone (#7215), Chestnut Bone (#7216), Ebony Wood (#7217), Abalone (#7218) & Burnt Stag (#7219).  154CM steel and a steep price:  About $450.00

Hi guys, i want to start my Knive Case collection, since i have read there is a lot of Case Knives to choose from, i think i will go for an specific pattern, i am interested mostly on big, single blade foldings, from a collector standpoint which one would you recommend.

Thanks.

i was watching the Copperlock pattern but i am not sure if there are old Case knives  of this pattern besides the one i could see on Amazon.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Case knives Rhamer!

Case has a lot to pick from. You might want to go here  -  http://www.wrcase.com/index_en.php  - and look around. There's a lot of information! And you might want to think about joining the Case Collectors Club and Forum  -  http://www.wrcase.com/collectors_club/join_the_club/

I'm not able to stick to one pattern.....as you can see in the Case discussion groups! LOL! So, it would be hard for me to recommend one! LOL!

These five patterns will no longer be made.....

1. Eisenhower

2. Pocket Hunter

3. Large Saddlehorn

4. Elephant's Toe

5. Small Swell Center Jack (Small Coke Bottle)

Get them while you can!

Thanks Craig, i will check your recommendations, is that i just want to narrow the knives, i know Case has a lot to choose from, but it does not hurt to invest in something that will no longer be available. lol

Hey Craig a question, best place to buy case knives??

Thanks

Howard I have seen Tonys version of this one and it is sweet.  I would think the Case version would be also but a bit pricy for me.  I will tell you he says it is one of the hardest knives to make

Rhamer, two places that come to my mind immediately are Smoky Mountain Knife Works and Shephard Hills Cutlery.

Craig by "not be made" do you mean going in the vault or actually discontinued forever?

Rhamer, it seems to me there are three folding  knives that scream W. R. Case and sons:

1)  The Russ-lock

2) The Seahorse Whittler

3) The Junior Scout.

When it comes to Fixed blades,  nothing says Case like the Kodiak!

Are there other knives that are Case Icons?  Sure but these are the ones that speak to me!

Thanks Tobias, i checked  those and the Russ-Lock is going to my short list.

Thank Charles, i already saw Shephard Hills, i will see Smoky and Knife works

"Craig by "not be made" do you mean going in the vault or actually discontinued forever?"

Discontinued forever!

Rhamer, you have mail......for a dealer list.
