OOPS, sorry that's the 5" bladed one. The one I posted is this one- http://www.southerntackle.com/proddetail.asp?prod=CA17910&cat=1400

6" blade BH81-6

Its sure a beauty, kinda pricey, but good on the wish list. Thanks Craig.

The more I look at those Buffalo Horn Hunters the more I want one! LOL!

Yes, you really got me wanting one now also. LOL

Of course you could always get one of these. LOL!

I am really liking that Buffalo Horn. Right now I have a one track mind.

I love my Buffalo Horn Trapper......sooo, I KNOW I'd like the Buffalo Horn Hunter!

Though.....the more I look at this little Drop Point.......I might have to get one of these.

That's a nice one Craig, especially that stacked leather.

I'm with Billy on that it's easier as a Life Member, it's a no brainer! I switched when it was still $100.00 for Life Member, shortly after I joined. Tried to tell a friend to swicth but he didn't think he'd live long enough to get his moneys worth, he's still here and going strong!

OK Billy, Condor knives, I'll check them out. Thanks.

Craig,

Maybe you should do the math on Life Membership, that is, assuming you ain't no spring chicken.  As I recall, the break-even point was 10 years.  Ifin you figger you got 10 good years left, go for it.  Hahahaha

Charles,

You are probably correct about having to buy your Member Knife.  The mind isn't what it used to be, and I got another Peanut for Life Membership which I thought they gave me, but I coulda paid for that one too.

Howard, I don't think my mind ever was what it used to be! LOL  But i did have to buy my member knife.  I don't know about the life member knife.  As far as I know it could come with life membership.

At 67 I have to wonder if life membership would pay for me.  If the break even point is ten years or so, that would put me near eighty.

$20 a year for regular membership. 7 1/2 years. I think I can make it for 7 1/2 years. Though some days I don't feel like it. LOL! Life Member it is. Should I wait until my dues are due? April. Or should I become a Lifer early?

Paul; 

"That's a nice one Craig, especially that stacked leather."

You know, as much as I like Buffalo Horn.......I'm leaning towards the leather. Hmmm.......

Craig, one of each would be nice. I like them both to, but If I can only have one I think I will choose the Buffalo Horn.

I've been debating becoming a Lifer myself.   Hard to say what I'll do.

Craig I wouldnt wait, I say do it now. Then you'll be a Lifer this year and....we can let you in on all the things we couldn't tell you and the handshake, we can show you the handshake before you even get the printed instructions from Case on how to do it!

I can tell you one secret though, don't tell anyone else though , just between me and you. Hold your right hand up and form an 'L' with your thumb and forefinger , now raise it up HIGH and rest it against your forehead, TADA!  The Life member salute!! ROTFL

Hey, my lips are sealed! I think I might go ahead and do it when I get my money next month. A Christmas present to myself. It's the least I can do since I was told they are sending me some free Case stickers! LOL!

Dangit Max You weren't suppose to tell.

 Ha Ha ha LOL

Craig,

I just checked, they still have some 2013 Annual knives for sale, but it looks like the display case is sold out.  http://www.wrcase.com/collectors_club/club_store/club_store.php .  If you join now you can get one or all three knives.

It's tough to come up with the extra with Christmas so close. But I'll see how things go. Everyone in the family will understand if they don't get anything....right?

Hey Max, I was going to get an extra Case ceramic coffee mug.....southerntackle.com is sold out!  But I found them here - http://www.jaysknives.com/case_4.htm and here - http://www.lumber2.com/Case-9078-Coffee-Mug-p/ca9078.htm

I had one of those mugs but the wife broke it...She was always jealous of that mug...I would of glued it, but we were out of glue...She used up all the glue ON PURPOSE!...

Craig, Thanks for the info! I was looking for a cup yesterday at work on my phone and did a Google search and up came the Lumber2 address but wasn't sure if it was the correct cup so had to wait til I got hom to check item # with my records, it's the one!

Thanks for the heads up Craig, if something needs finding! Jaysknives has the same Blue sign I have but don't know anything more bout it!, only met one other person that had one til now.

Paul buy two and give her one!

Every time my Case coffee mug gets washed I have this vision of it being dinged or broken. So I wanted a backup! My coffee tastes better in my Case Coffee mug.

I haven't used mine cause of that Very Reason, Craig!

I think I'll keep the backup with my knife stuff!

I just ordered a Buffalo Horn 6" fixed blade last night. Can't wait to get it.

I'll put it on as soon as I get it. Should be Wed or Friday.

Yes, but I meant I'll put it on this forum as well as myself.

REALLY? A Case Buffalo Horn Hunter??? No fair! I don't want to see it. 

Well, I ordered a backup Case coffee mug......so there.

You wanna see it - who are you trying to kid. Its gonna be great. The only fancy belt knife I had (other than military) was stolen from me in Vietnam in a crowd. It wasn't military, I think it was a Puma if I remember right. My K-Bars are my best, but this Buffalo Horn will be a looker, and I am not going to just look at it, I am going to wear it and use it.

Oh, okay. I'll look at it......if I have to. 

Well, so much for "real time stock" on lumber2.com. They're out of stock of the Case coffee mug. Oh well. On to the next dealer.......

Knife Mule Train just came in!

Very nice, new knives, Craig.  But, to be truthful, I am glad I don't collect Trappers or Mini Trappers because there is so much to collect.  As you know, new jigging or bone color, etc. is not universal across all the patterns, but it seems that the Trapper is always included in whatever new scales are released.  Whereas, with my Canoes it is hit or miss.  Example, I wanted a Greek Key in the Canoe pattern - no luck - nor periwinkle, nor pinecone.  My wallet is happier, and I don't have to buy display cases as often.  Plus, the more limited production of Canoes frees up money to buy some Queens or Canal Streets or big ole fixed blades with fancy new steels.  Boy was I happy (sort of) when the Butterbean went into the vault!

Thanks!

I'm not a "completest" so I just buy what I like. I don't have to have them all.

Hahahaha, Craig.  You may not think of yourself as a "completest", but it looks like you done bought ever Trapper they is.

LOL! Actually, believe it or not, I only have 24 Case Trappers! But there will be more to come! LOL!

It's hard to believe that you've accumulated that many in such a short amount of time Craig!

That's why we call him "Trapper Craig"
