Great looking haul of Case knives Ivars!

That Snow Leopard Jasper is really cool, but I'm on kind of a quest to get some Case pearls. I have to see how much the voices in my head bug me about it.

Well, I guess I find out soon if the Seahorse measures up to all the "hype". LOL!  We'll all be in JJ's Secret Seahorse Society.

Yeah, I'm anxious to get them Max. They will help decide some things for me too.

The Seahorse is sweet, but it ain't bumping my Norfolks and Humpbacks.

I DO want a Humpback Whittler.....both full and half. I've been looking at this one lately............

After I get my Seahorse, it will help me decide if I want to go ahead and get this one.............

I'm a half whittler (half whit?) kinda guy.

Go for it Craig!

I used to be sort of a two-blade kinda guy. But then I decided it was cool to have three different blades in what is the same size frame as the two blade version. But I'm not adverse to a two blader. 

Let's see, going by your posts, you're a bone head half whit? 

Is that all you can say all the time; "Go for it Craig!"? You're not helping my condition. 

Bone head half whit....Have you been talking to my wife?  LOL

Let's try this one....You should get that Craig!   Mwa-ha-ha

No, you're wife doesn't say anything that nice about you.

Hey, Cass just told me she got another bonus from work. She said she will buy a knife of my (and her) choosing for me. Hmmm.......

I hear pearl is the in-thing this season...

I showed her the Snow Leopard Jasper. She likes. We'll see.

Good luck!

Snow Leopard is nice but this is my favorite! Purple Spiney Oyster

Them's purty.

Wow, those ARE......uh.....wow. Hmmm, I really like that Snow Leopard......but the Purple Oyster is really nice too. 

Saaay, do you have to live in Texas to get a toothpick?  These are two nice ones, Max.

Ok since Cass is half of the deciding factor, it's the Snow Leopard. I love those pearl strips in it.  The Purple Spiny Oyster will have to wait until......sometime.....maybe next month?

 I would like a 4047P Jigged Buffalo Horn!!!

Max ......   those are Knife jewelry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wonderful

Got a book for Father's Day.......

Very Nice Craig!

Headed to the Event today.  Hoping to meet everyone.  This is going to be FUN!

Hahahaha.  Craig, throw the book away.  If you ever watch "Antiques Road Show" you have seen some of the ugliest stuff go for big money.  The reason is, it was ugly back then as it is today and few were sold back then so it is rare today.

A fella shouldn't be collectin ugly stuff just cause it's valuable.  Of course, it could be that Case never made any ugly knives; or ugly, like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Welcome to Presidents day

Knives everywhere.

Wish I could be there!

Well some are here, but I agree wish you were all with us I just had a chance to meet Max wife.  Tell me how you got such a nice lady buddy!

Something for everyone!

The roundtable for the CCC was so much fun

Yeah, wish I could be there!

Looks like a good time.

All of my Stockmans.......so far (Please excuse the fuzzy hand held pictures)

Nice collection Craig.

Nice, Craig!

Thanks! :)

Excellent collection of Stockmans, Craig.

Thanks, I appreciate it! 

Got another 33 Small Stockman to add! Will take pictures of it soon. 

Pictures!

Well the turn out at SMKW Presidents day was spectacular.  It was great to see so many young folks there.  The day started with a boy scout troop and those young boys were having FUN!  They were looking at pocket knives a lot like we do LOL, with stars in their eyes.

A great morning of meeting folks, was followed by some great visiting time.  You know it never ceases to amaze me that so many people in the knife world recognize the need for bringing the next 2 or 3 generations into our hobby.  This company was started by a dad making a Christmas present for his son, something they could do together.  A few short months later he was unemployed and looking for a way to make some money to support his family so he began to produce them.  This year they introduced a trapper pattern in a numbered version, and  short run off 100 in the numbered series.  For the Parents and Grandparents among us...I encourage you to get a few of these.  Spend some fun time with your loved ones building one and teaching how a knife is built and I think it is a great way to start the safety conversation.

I have a video of the presidents drawing the knife of day winner and I will place it here.  Just cant upload it here on this tiny laptop.  But congratulations to Goose for being the winner of the day
