has anyone gone to t5he parker knife show. i would like to go to it sometime

Yeah, I've noticed that Shepherd Hills Cutlery says "Currently On Backorder" if they actually ARE on backorder, or if they just haven't come in yet.

More pictures!! My money tree died.

What can you tell me about the below knife? I need "input"! LOL!

I have no idea what it is but I know I want one. lol

Found this laying around!

I'll take 1 each please.

I agree Lee if only we could go back to 2001 and buy one each! at those prices also!

Plus I'd only be 51! Lets go back! Please!

Thanks Max!!

Oh geez, I wish I hadn't missed those! And I'm sure they probably go for a fortune now.

I wish they'd bring those Shadow Bones back out!!

HEY CASE BRING EM BACK!!!!!

My list just keeps getting longer and longer and longer. I know this there are none on ebay.

Surf & Turf located in Selma NC (919-965-5343) still has some of these in stock. They won't break the display board (but they will sell the whole board) but they've still got a few patterns left. I bought a Butterbean just a few months ago. Best part is that they're selling them for what they were priced when they were released. I love finding dealers that don't have a webpage!

Ok my turn. What is it?

Well Max you did it again. Its a 1940-64 florist knife. They quit making them in 1967. Bought it at a flea market.

Never seen anything like it! Very interesting. 

I need Shadow Bones.

Craig I agree

when i get my case knives out have to try take a picture and post it of my trappers of my old case trappers

One more!!

I may have to leave the Case Group!  Too many pretty knives and not enough money to buy them!     It's like going to am AA meeting at the local saloon!

I am in this with you guys..up to the ears.  I just focus on the patterns I like and mostly buy used Case knives which are in sad shape.  I then clean them up and add them to the collection or pass them on to the Son, Grandson, Nephews and a couple of Nieces.  I guess I am a Case rescuer.

Ron...

You need to start the old "Rat Hole" money account.  Yes...hide money from the wife.  Sell stuff you don't want on eBay or to people you meet at the barber shop.  It works.  "This old knife...why do you ask?"  LOL!

Skipping lunch, loose change from the dryer, change back at the grocery store, etc.  It all adds up.  I use the same money to buy my wife things.  As long as it doesn't disrupt the budget, there really isn't a room to complain, especially when she  suddenly asks for a $100 for an unexpected emergency and the money is there for it.

If she go out for lunch with the girls, I can buy knives!

Thank goodness my wife likes my knives! And, gives me suggestions on what to get next! And, buys some for me! LOL!

Bob, put a speaker under her pillow and at night run a recording that repeats "I can't live without knives....." Then after a couple of weeks she'll WANT you to buy knives.....or she'll kill you.....either way you'll be out of your misery.

Any new Case knives??

Case XX USA era (before dots) 6207 Mini Trapper.  When I received it (along with about fifty other knives) it was rusted shut.   Took a while to loosen the blades enough to get them open.  As photo shows, the back scale was broken.   Some TLC, Coon-P and gentle rust removal got the blades operational.  The handle was another problem.   A little dental resin, and some hand jigging and dying brought the knife back to a decent quality EDC. 

Front side after clean up

Back side broken scale

Back side, scale repaired

Too bad that scale is busted

Considering this "Half Whittler" this month......

It indeed was too bad, yet it cleaned up nice. You need to check it out with a magnifying glass to realize it was repaired. (I'm ethical.  I not going to  try to sell it!)

Anyone familiar with these? Do they come with the "Corelon" etch like the ones I see at SMKW? I don't like that etch.

Not all have the etch I have some with that are the First in the series and some

that don't have the etch.

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.
