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!

Great looking knives, Craig.  What are those scales on the Gunboat?  They are really nice.  Gunboats are too much knife for me.  I have a couple, cause the price was right, but I don't carry one.  No room with a Butterbean and a Victorinox Classic in my pocket, fixed blade and multi-tool on my belt, with a Case Barlow and Canoe in the cab of the truck. [Estwing hatchet, three hunting knives, and a filet knife in my hunting bag]  I do take the multi-tool off when the .45 goes on.

The Gunboat is Snakewood. Beautiful, but pricy!

Here's a regular Canoe I've never seen. Laser engraved Cocobolo with Duck feathers! Cool!

Yep, a Ducks Unlimited.  Nice jigging on the wood.

I like the Duck shields! I'm going to have to get one or to of the Ducks Unlimited knives.

They have a nice Canoe DU knife in a display case, but it's pricey.

Here's another nice one - 

You have excellent taste, Craig!

Here's that DU Stag Canoe, $2C

Beautiful! That would look GREAT on the wall!! 

I like too that some of the proceeds of each knife goes to Ducks Unlimited.

Just ordered a SHOT Show Soddie Jr.

It looks cool with the Shotgun shell shield!

I've been waiting for this one to come out.  I knew I had to have one as soon as I got my amber bone Soddie.

I need to fit a couple of Soddies in.....somewhere. Still need the Amber Bone.

The amber bone is sweet Craig.

I know, I know. There's just sooo much. And now I'm getting into a fever pitch over Canoes! Sheesh.

Another flea market find.

Wow - what a find. Not at a knife show but a flea market yet.

whoa!! what you did find this???

Nice find Lee! A lot of people sells knives at our Flea Market, but never anything I want.

Made some pants for my bone Soddie today.

Lookin good, Paul.

Paul, nice job on the pants! You are definitely a man of many talents!

Wow, that is GREAT Paul!!! 

You need to do a "How to" discussion. I've never tried leather work. Do you do much?

Paul wish I could learn to do that.

I don't do a lot of leather work, and what I do is pretty simple and basic.

Well it looks great. Where did you get your leather....Tandy? http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/home/home.aspx

Yep, I get my stuff at Tandy.

How did you do your stitching, by hand or machine?

I think I need a Pearl Bean.......

Sooner State Knives has a good selection of "older" Case knives!

I'm still thinking about this one........

Nothing to think about!

Ever since I got my 75 Stockman Long Tail "C" months ago I've been thinking about getting it. 

Hand stitched Craig, using artificial sinew.

Great job Paul!

GUNBOATS!

Who's a Case Gunboat fan??

A couple more Canoes on my mind.....what's left of my mind.

Gunboats! 

Thinking about getting a Gunboat.
