Still waiting on my Case knife order! Greg at TSA says he's having problems with USPS. Orders are taking forever, especially the orders going east! 

I want my knives.........boo hoo.

Just got this. A member on the Case Collectors Club and his wife made these and sent them to Case forum members that wanted them.

I know they are snowed in pretty bad up there Craig.  Greg is one of the dealers I cant honestly say, order and business days later it is in your hand.  I know the weather is frustrating him and mail.  Going to be a whopping 1 degree tomorrow but looks like snow is out of the pic on Sun and Mon....Maybe those postal folks can get the planes out...WHAT DID YOU GET?

I bought three Case Trappers. I talked to Greg today, and he said he's really frustrated with USPS. It took two weeks for a customer to get his order in Georgia! Greg has comments on his blog about it.

I hope they get here tomorrow!

Thinking about a Winterbottom Sunset Bone Trapper for next month. And maybe a Maple handled Trapper. And maybe a Lacewood Trapper. And maybe........

The Mules on the Knife Mule Train fell down on the job, so the Reindeer had to fill in! But they're finally here! I dressed up like Santa and gave these to myself. I left myself some cookies and milk.

Sounds like you make a good Santa Craig

Glad the knives arrived, Craig.  Merry Christmas to all you Case fans!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Merry Christmas to all.

Happy Holidays!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

For Christmas I got money to buy a few Case knives!! I'm going knife shopping!

Okay, now the hard part. Decisions, decisions.

Made my decisions. Placed my orders. I'm broke again. LOL!

The Case "Select" Brick Red knives are hitting the dealers. I think I might get the.....well.......uh.......you know.

The Select wharnie Mini Trapper is especially nice.

@craig.. you have CASE FEVA..not good.. only cure...buy more!...LOL!

@paul..i like that knife to..then again- i really like any knife with a wharnie blade.

Anybody know what blade steel Case uses on their "Case Select" series? Is it the same "Tru-Sharp" stainless they use on their standard knives, or something a bit more exotic? Thanks - Jon Salmon

I think the "upgrade" is only nickel silver liners and pins; maybe better matched scale color.  Same blade steel as regular Case knives.

Wikipedia: 

Nickel silver, German silver,^[1] Argentan,^[1] new silver,^[1] nickel brass,^[2] albata,^[3] alpacca,^[4] or electrum^[5] is a copper alloy with nickel and often zinc. The usual formulation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc.^[6] Nickel silver is named for its silvery appearance, but it contains no elemental silver unless plated. The name "German silver" refers to its development by 19th-century German metalworkers in imitation of the Chinese alloy known as paktong (cupronickel)^[7][8] All modern, commercially important nickel silvers (such as those standardized under ASTM B122) contain significant amounts of zinc, and are sometimes considered a subset of brass.^[9]

That's my New Year's resolution Peter; try to buy more Case knives than I did last year! LOL!!

I'm eyeing this one in the Brick Red........

Here's the whole set......

Does anyone know who these were made for....or is it just a Case production?

I don't know where I've been, but I just noticed that SHC has the Folding Hunter in yellow.

Case 381-6 SS

Ahhhhhhh, a beautiful fixed-blade.  Thanks Ken, it's been a long dry spell on these pages since a sweet fixed-blade showed up.

Uh, Craig?  I'm thinkin they were made for you, the Earl of Trapper!

Thanks Howard - I have wanted that Buffalo Horn fixed and now this stacked leather fixed - I love them both.

I really like the brick red. Here are the 2 that I own.

There' goes Ken again making me want a new Case fixed blade! LOL!! I like it Ken! I do like the traditional leather handle.

I remember those Lee. They look super the second time around! I'm going to have to think seriously about getting the Trapper in it!

I THINK, the Trappers with Osage Orange handles and the "XX" on the bolster were made for Deadwood Knives. I think. And it hurts to think.

No sure about the "XX "on the bolster version but this one of mine is a Case- #B'D254SS- Bois D' Arc (Osage Orange) trapper with 1991 year dated tang stamp-SFO for Crawford & Wilson Enterprises in Plano,Texas- 1 of 250

Interesting John.

The old Knife Mule Train came in today!

A couple of Case Butterbeans I received as presents this Christmas:

Blue Lagoon, below

Very nice Howard

I like those Howard! What's the handles on the bottom one? Blue Lagoon?  

All of my Trappers.......so far! See, I don't have that many....yet! LOL!

Very nice Trapper collection.  Agreed, you don't have too many - you need more.  The jigged bone on the bottom Butterbean is "Blue Lagoon".  Happy New Year, Craig and all the Case Fans!

Happy New Year Howard......and to all!

Happy New Year to you also Craig!

Whatever you wash your Trappers with is shrinking some!

LOL! The shrunk ones are going to go in their own cabinet! 

Is a shrunken knife anything like a shrunken head???

Happy New Year!

It's 2014. It feels different. It looks different too.
