Fans of Case Knives
I looked all through the Discussions on the Case Collectors Group and couldn't find a thread for the razors, so I thought I'd start one.
So PLEASE, feel free to share some pictures of your Case Razors...new and/or old.
Heres a 2024 case razor that I've knocked the black synthetic handles off of and dressed in blue and white cross cut mammoth tusk. I also fileworked the blade and back spring and worked the bolsters a bit.

Super pretty custom work on this 1 arm man pattern. The what I would call Arrow head Bolster is a great addition.

Thanks Mike. It just came to me while I was working it up. Most folks don't state specifics on bolster work, so I try to change it up sometimes and, voila !

Andy I notice Custom Bolster Engraving. Especially when I like a pattern . Even if I don't own Any! Just my personal opinion! I do like the boldster engraving more so than the file workrd Back springs or Blades.I have a couple of Case Factory Filding Hunters in my collection . But I would believe it takes more skill on the Back springs, & Blades than the Bolsters. It is amazing what can be done when an Artisan applys his kniowledge & Skill to metal or other surfaces. Myself I don't have the patients or skill to take a knife apart and rework it like these have been done. All are super nice examples of the pattern. CONGRATS !
