Any one want to meet up for Dinner on Friday nite ?? Maybe do a R/T ??

Well need someone to find a place .

Hey thanks Gerald, I will head there now

Gerald,

Sure wish you could meet us there, that would be some fun.  We work that show for Paul Harvey every year.  Its a family owned hardware store, been Case dealers over 50 years. If you have never been...its alot of fun

Jan it's a little far for us this year maybe next year. I've met Paul at the events at Bradford. That was the show for this year.

Ill be out there again this year. I look forward to seeing you and Donnie aagin.

OH, Donald that is fantastic!  Cant wait to see you

The Case folks will be Mike DuBois and Ricky Deitz this year.  Harveys Hardware will also Host Tony Foster at the show :)

Just talked to Paul Harvey and he will have a scout person again this year to teach knife safety to the young ones.  Bring them with you.  We have games and knowledge built for them also.

One of the reasons I love this show is it is designed around the family having fun

Every year there is the Case tour knives and Harvey's Hardware does their own.  This year Harvey's is doing two knives

Are those the same ones in the other picture? I still like that Jack. And the Trapper, but mostly the Jack.

They are the same ones.  I wanted to get some natural lighting and see if I could get the blade etches to show

That's a rather nice green. Is that the Clover green?

How many here are members of the Case Collector's Club? Is it worth joining? Just wondering...I'm thinking about it, myself.

I am also a lifetime member, very well worth it!

I am also a member and yes!

I am not a member, but my husband is a life member to the Case Collectors Club.

We get mailings from the CCC almost monthly, the catalogs, newsletters, and you also

get a discount to most knife shows being a member and they also have the  

homecoming in bradford every year and don'f forget they also have the museum.

And Yes!

Sue

I'm a CCC Lifer too and it is well worth the price for a collector. And Sue the Bradford homecoming or reunion is every 2 years. I would say it's the best time for a knife collector to meet and talk with some knowledgeable knife people.

Ok...I just now joined! Thanks for the input.

James, those are nice looking knives. What kind of handles are they?

Geez, okay.....I might join too!  I feel left out.

Paul,

The handle scales on the 2012 Club knives are "crimson bone". They are more impressive than the picture shows. Before mounting, I polished each with Flitz then applied a few light coats of Renaissance wax.

Those ARE very pretty!

Has anyone seen these? I think they look pretty cool!

I do not know yet if this is a prize or a auction but I am impressed!

Who did that Jan? That's cool.

A friend of the Harvey Family did it for the show

Donnie saw the mermaid series at Harveys but I did not yet.  I will check it out on Friday :).  That one looks nice

That may be a raffle

Very nice quilt, Jan!

Hello all,

I just purchased a nice looking trapper knife (with prime stag handles) that is supposed to be in "new" condition, but there are blade rubs on the clip blade, right were the etching pattern is, and am debating a return. I know rubs are fairly common, but how much do they detract from the actual value of the knife? If I decide to sell this sometime down the road, would it be a major contention?

Thanks,
P.

Paul the repair dept. and arrange to send it back for repair. They will fix it.

YES! You will have to sell this knife as used and in good condition. You should expect to get about $45. I would return it or use it for an EDC. Sorry for the bad news. I love the Trapper design too.

Paul you will have to sell it as repaired by factory...but if you pay for the repair you will be way in too deep. Just my opinion after 25 years of getting burned on occasion.

Thanks guys. Fortunately, there is a return policy. I'm going to try to exchange it for another one.

Wonderful quilt...made in america too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........

That quilt will be a raffle...These knives will be the auctions

Here is a photo of the latest Case acquired. It is a single bladed CV Trapper with a liner lock and pocket clip. The handles are Chestnut Bone and the pattern is #54L and the item number is 30112. I have been carrying this knife with yellow handles for about six months and just find it to be my favorite EDC even over all of the tactical autos I own.

I will admit I have many mistresses and one is any folding pocket knife with a swing guard. Add a swing guard, liner lock (my favorite locking system) and pocket clip and I am in love again. Sadly this animal does not exist.

I have strongly suggested to Case, Tuna Valley, GEC and Moore Maker to make an XL swing guard with the liner lock and pocket clip. I am thinking the sized of the Case large single bladed hunter size with less expensive handles to keep the price down so as to be affordable by law enforcement, firemen, military and other underpaid public servants. Take this classic timeless design and jazz it up to a combat folding pocket knife. What do you think people? Would this design and size of knife sell? Would you want to have one? If you say no then you need to check your pulse. Please give some feed back.

That's a sweet-looking knife, Clint! I might look into getting one of those. I'm especially fond of the trapper design!

Paul if you purchase this knife you will not regret having done so. I was truly surprised how much I loved this knife.

I like the single blade "Trapper". The smooth Chestnut Bone looks great! Case does bone good!

I like this new Linda Karst scrimshaw!
