There's an idea!  Spray paint one.  It should probably be a smooth surface handle to lok correct.    I suggest you buy a Case Mother of Pear mini-trapper  and spray paint it, Craig.  Let me know how it turns out.  I'm guessing right after you do it the Case Min-trapper in Comp-Yellow will come out of the vault!

I just spoke to Case. They say they'll make one just for me. No, my fingers aren't crossed........too much.

Are they crossed because you're  hoping or fibbing?

I'm not saying.

Well, Craig you have been buying bunches of W.R. Case knives, keeping the plant working 3 shifts, so Ms Boser might just run a 1 of 1 off for you.

I wish it worked that way.

The Honeycomb Bone is starting to hit the shelves already!

HEY CRAIG.....i love case...{actually i have received knives free from them..they are one of the bst!} sorta similar, funny story .

i simply said to case on their wall on FACEBOOK..i asked them after all these years ..why the didnt have and EASY OPEN SODBUSTER... to me its a great knife for it.. i have a few SODS..and 2 of them i made into EO's...i use the EO  and not the PULL at all.also with the current shape a deep EO is not needed.it really is better as a work knife with the EO cut. anyway i told them most of that but summed up in a series of posts back and forth .some even tosed up pics of their SODS that they had worked EO cuts on..it was cool.

I even went on to tell them that other makers are already making the SOD with EO and it sells. i asked them straight up why they would not want to already seal up that gap.they already sell the most popular and well known sodbuster.advertising would be nothing and adding the EO would cost very little.

well after a few posts ..back and forth and others comments.....they came back to finally say they looked into it and CASE has looked at the idea but obviously has not done it. the last post from them cause i just let it go,facebook gets nuts..posts on popular sites grow big!..

...the last post was basically saying if they do go ahead and make an EO SODBUSTER they will make note of my posts and let me know right away!.... LOLOLOL..now no promise of knife or anything...but i doubt it..folks were even joking about one of kind SOD PROTO..and stufflike that..."wait by that box,anyday now"...LOL ..

AND I LOVE CASE THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GREAT TO ME...so please take this with a grain of salt...i honestly doubt if they sat around and designed the sod with an EO...step 2 or 7 or 125 would be to find pete on facebook and let him know!....LOL..but ...ill keep my fingers crossed!~...

CRAIG WE NEVER KNOW!!!!....LOLOL!  ...

the yella knife fever.. worse then knife flu.

Yes, yes, I also need these......

Regular production run = Pinto

Case select = Cadillac

Tony Bose = Rolls Royce !!!!

Well what can I say? My dad was a car dealer.

Craig, you mean this?

Yep, that's it Ken.....I need a good ole' Case Yeller Trapper.......and a Yeller Mini-Trapper........and a Yeller Tiny Trapper........when they make the Yeller Tiny Trapper for me.

Thanks a lot Lee!  Most of my Case knives are just run of the mill regulars.  I thought they were pretty decent but now I'm worried they burst into flames at any minute!

Craig, here is the mini Trapper

Ken, that's the other one I need. 

The only Mini-Trapper I have right now is the regular Amber bone. Not that there's an  irregular  Amber bone Mini-Trapper. 

I used to carry a Case Mini-Trapper waaay back around 1980. In fact it was a 1980 10 dot. But I digress........

I need to get the yeller, Chestnut and Amber standard 54 Trapper, and a Yeller and Chestnut Mini-Trapper. For the regular everyday Trappers......as opposed to any special ones.......if you want to call the others special. 

It's time to take my meds..........

I have 3 Case and 2 RR Mini trappers - they are a great knife to carry, a good in between knife, fits well in hand and pocket. You have a good passion for Case Trappers - that's a good aim in collecting.

Yep, RR 804, is 2 inch Tiny Trapper in Yellow Comp.  Cost about $7.  It would make a nice place holder until Case gets its tiny trapper out of the vault!

RR1107 is a five blade peanut with a spay blade so it is kind of a "trapper nut" on steroids. (and a little goofy in my opinion!)

Well, it WAS Stockmans for a while, then I thought I was going to be headed towards Canoes, then I took a right turn and went to Trapperland! LOL!

Craig,

So, when the government shuts down on 01 OCT, your mailbox might be empty on that third Wednesday for months to come, and fall is a bit late for a lemonade stand.

There's always UPS, FedEx, and Mule Train.

New knives!

Nice ones Craig! If it's too cold for Lemonade you could always do Pumpkin Lattes!

Picked this up today at our local club show! Case 29 1/2 Smooth Black, should make a nice lil' EDC!

Max, that would make a super EDC, great score.

Craig, it must be your time of the month again. You are having fun.

Wow, that's a cool one Max!!  That's 2 1/2" closed like the Tiny Trapper, isn't it Max?

Yep, third Wednesday week! LOL! Cass got a bonus at work so I'll have a few extra coming in the next few weeks or so. Yay!

Good review on the new Copperlock in Winterbottom Ginger Ale Bone, by fellow member Scott Rauber............

Great....everyone's gonna have a Tadpole but me! LOL!

The Shepherd Hills exclusive Elephant Ivory RussLock is SOLD OUT already!! Good grief.

Of course the Ivory would sell out!!   It's Ivory!! 

OK, now I want a tadpole

The Ivory RussLock sold out in less than a week? At $400 for the cheaper one? I guess I didn't realize how crazed people would get over it! LOL!

I say, bring back the Tadpole! I'm gonna start a movement!

I didn't buy those....I wish! Those are pictures of "SOLD" Tadpoles! LOL! I'll buy a new one when they bring it back! LOL!

Case-Harley Davidson knives coming - 

Pictures from Shepherd Hills Cutlery Event - 

Time for the old Tadpole to come back!

IvarsDay, I agree with you, I haven't either, looking forward to hearing what our Case experts have to say about this knife.

I would have to say it's a phony. In that time period Case used pinned shields and I can't find anywhere that in that period they stamped pattern numbers on their knives. The 028 pattern is called a serpentine dogleg jack.

From AAPK,  Pattern 028:

Case has manufactured at least two distinct knives with this pattern number.

* The company's most recent version is a 3 1/2" serpentine style jack knife. Most have a clip and pen blade, and a 1/2 after the pattern number (when there is a pattern number). Some versions have been produced with a punch blade.Case discontinued them sometime before 1964.

*The other 028 pattern is a teardrop style jack knife that was manufactured with a spear and clip blade. I'm not sure of the exact size, but they are considerably smaller than the other 028 pattern described above.

New knife just in..........
