Now, for something completely different......at least for me.............

Both of these have come out in the last two years!

cool

Beautiful Cheetahs Max!!! But that Halloween one scares me.....there's no one driving!

Oh yes, I need some Cheetahs. I remember back in the days of old, guys used to talk about the Case Cheetah in hushed tones. LOL! But I DO need some.

Here is my other one.

Another nice one Lee! What are the bone handles on that one? I can't quite make them out in the picture. 

That one is black bone

oh my!! I love that blue cheetah!! I wish i have one....

I like the way it came out kind of a gray with dark jigging.

New knife!

Okay, there's a knife I've been wanting for a long time. The Baby Butterbean.  But, I be afeared.  I be afeard that if I get one I'll go bananas over it and want to collect them and use them. Then what, I ask you. Will I be able to go from three blades to two again? Will the skies darken and Frogs drop on my head? Will my Stockman knife brothers beat me up? Will Ron stop calling me Mr. 33 and start calling me Mr. Bean?   Can I collect Baby Butterbeans and Canoes AND Stockmans without them fighting??? Do I need a special permit? Why is collecting so emotionally stressful? Where's my meds.........

Craig....

Dark and scary times for sure.  Me....I say go for it and damn the torpedoes....full speed ahead.  Mr. Bean is a good handle as well as Mr. 33.

I don't look like Mr. Bean do I? 

Well kinda! If heinz can be 57 Bean could be 33!

Good point Max.

Third Wednesday is comin' 'round the bend. Stockmans-Canoes, Canoes-Stockmans......I'm going into overload. Anyone have a bucket and mop for cleanup after I explode?

And I have one of these on my mind.........

GUNBOAT!

Craig,

Wish I could get my knives to look that shiny all the time!

I got a mop.

someday i will get vintage MOP!!!!

Looks GREAT Lee!! There's something about good quality pearl.

Howard, that isn't my picture, but I use Renaissance Wax on all of my knives and it shines them up like that. 

The time has come. The question is, will I buy some Canoes, and even change my EDC to a Baby Butterbean (!!!) and live to tell about it? Stay tuned to the next chapter in "Craig's Fantastic Knife Adventure"

Hahahaha.  Craig, I have been carrying a Butterbean in my pocket for years, and sometimes a Canoe.  You'll be fine!  Just don't buy em all up, I want to get a few more.

Ken, VERY nice blue Peanut!!

Well Howard, I did it. Should I get a boat trailer now???

Nah.  You can fit your home-made birch bark canoe [you made in honor of this big leap] on the roof rack of whatever you're drivin, which I figger to be 4WD of some kind or of several kinds.

LOL! No 4WD! Chevy HHR. It has a big roof though.

Somethin is amis!  You is named for two guns, Henry and "Krag".  A 4WD has to be around somewheres, even a lowly Dodge.  Long guns, by law ( I think in some "rural" states), has to be in rifle racks up there on the back glass of a truck.

LOL!

New knife! MIGHT be my last Stockman for a while.

Okay, Case fans.  Anybody heard anything about the Case Silver Eagle Commemorative Set (Silver Eagle coin and Canoe) for this year?  Haven't looked around yet this week, but the usual places haven't had anything posted.  Coulda missed it, though.

I don't remember seeing anything so far. 

What happened to Case knives at Wesson Ace Hardware, MS. [I'm in PA so I can't go check].  Checked for the 2013 Silver Eagle set and the whole Case line is GONE!  They may not have been a Master Dealer, but they had good prices and great service.  They had Case knives as near as a couple weeks ago, but tonight the line is gone.

Case R640045SS Centennial XX 1889-1989

Case Folding Hunter and Case Camper

Ken, those are some rare beauties and real nice to look at!

Howard,

from what I've gathered on the Case Forum, Case and Wesson Ace have parted ways. Seems no one knows why and can't seem to get an answer, just that Case broke it off with Wesson Ace.

Thanks Max - I wonder how many of those Centennial Knives case made in Camper pattern?? I bought that one from an old time Case Collector.

Thanks, Max.  I was having trouble believing that W.R. Case was not a winner for Wesson Ace.  But, if that was the case, one wonders what would cause a rift like that - to lose a money maker for them (Wesson Ace). And, on the Case side, I don't know if you can have too many dealers - i.e. it's costing them shelf space in MS, and Internet space everywhere.

Damm, Ken.  Nice campers.  Never had a Case Camp knife - cheap imitation.  No Case dealers close by when I was a kid.  Too late now, Victorinox Camp, etc. knives came to the U.S. and then Leatherman done invented a multi-tool, long since, and I went thataway.

Howard, it's caused quite a commotion on the Case Forum. Wesson Ace had many faithful customers that aren't happy and I'm sure it's a large void for many that have done business with Wesson Ace.

Some beautiful Case knives there Ken!!

Howard, Case can not legally comment on the situation one way or the other. Lets just say, not all customers were happy (from what I've heard). Maybe Case received too many complaints? Regardless, that type of thing happens all the time in all kinds of businesses. A company drops a dealer for whatever reason. AND, sometimes dealers will drop a certain brand for no reason and no one mentions that. I'm not friends with that dealer so I have no emotional attachment. But I still don't think I'd be upset over a business decision.  

I sure hope we're not going to get bogged down with business world politics here like on other forums. I hate that!

Hey look at this one......BEAUTIFUL Gunboat!

Already thinking about these for next month.....

And these Beans for next month?

Whoa! Lookie here at this Canoe!
