Case 2014 Catalog will be out in February.

I'm in the middle of deep thought for what's next on the third Wed. Do you realize how hard deep thought is for me with only one firing brain cell left?

Craig, I envy you.  You have one left still firing!

LOL!!!

Yeah, but it misses and sputters like an old jalopy! LOL!

What's the story on Burnt Sugar Bone? I have my eye on a Trapper (what else?) with it. I think I need it bad. I can't get it out of my pea brain. It's going to throw a Monkey Wrench into my plans if I get it. (Can knives throw Monkey Wrenches?) 

Interesting information right under our noses!!

Craig I think we are rerunning those chats this month also!

Cool!

I purchased a new item recently, which came from the Norton,Kansas area. Not a highly valued knife, because of the pattern, it is none the less rare and valuable to me, as I love all things Case Brothers. This is a Case Bros. ink eraser, unused with traces of blue salesman sample ink on the back of the blade. The handles are tortoise or imitation tortoise, and it came with the original box marked Case Brothers. Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. Because it came from the area, near their cattle and horse ranch, which was also near Beaver Springs, NE. I would like to believe , one of the Case Brothers , themselves, displayed this item to the clerks in the areas businesses! Stay warn it is ten degrees at high noon here.

A great find, Rick!

Yep that is a cool one! Great find! I've never seen one, so thanks for posting!

Thanks,Max & Howard it's not a pearl sunfish, but it's a neat find, and displays well with the Case Bros razors, I have.

Awesome and interesting knives.

I think that is really cool Rick! An old ink eraser like that shows how different times were! 

Any thoughts on what might be in the new 2014 catalog?

I emailed them last week bugging them again for a Tiny Trapper in Jigged Chestnut, jigged Amber, and/or Yellow. The reply was "The 2014 catalog will be out in February". Hmmm........

Thanks for the comments, Ron & Craig!  An interesting fact, about the ink eraser in the old west is: the native American warriors loved them! The white traders could not keep up with the demand for them, as the braves wanted at least a dozen count box at every trade session. Inquiring why, the indian traders discovered the braves, broke the blades loose, from the handles and were using them as steel points on the shafts, instead of the old flint arrowheads! So ink erasers had the distinction of being the first archery broadhead in America!  A role they were never intended for, and a cowboys worst nightmare.

Very interesting fact Rick!

A surprise Knife Mule Train visit!

Okay, decision time. A few days until "third Wednesday" knife allowance. 

Craig, buy ammo this third Wednesday.  You can throw a knife only so far, and some of us are too old for hand-to-hand fighting.

LOL! I think I have plenty of ammo. I think. Every time I watch the news I think I need more ammo! LOL!

And a person can never have too many knives.

Decisions, decisions.

You do what you want, Craig.  I got me some more .223 at $.29/rnd. - best price I could find.

If I don't get knives on a regular basis I stop breathing! Doctor says I have knifeosis.

Sounds worse than ammolosis.

It is.

Tonight's the night. Still making last minute changes. The voices in my head are fighting it out. I think one of them picked up a stick!

Saw this Case knife at an antiques shop for $85. Not sure if it is worth the price or not. Can anyone identify it? Clue me in as to a fair price to pay?
Thanks

Bob

Tony has confirmed that the Wharncliff lockback whittler is the collaboration knife with Case for 2014

Beautiful knife, Jan.  I expect it to be pricey, too.

Jan my wife is going to kill me when I buy one and it's going to be your fault.

I'm more interested in the coming Bose teardrop.

Bob, that Sowbelly you posted looks like a fair price, it's hard to see but it looks to be about a 2001 or maybe a little newer depending on the markings on the tang. Can't see if all but one of the X's and dots are there look like only one dot missing, making it a 2001. Not sure what the color would be back then.

I hope they do the Teardrop as a "regular" production.

Thanks Max. Maybe I'll head back today and pick it up, after a closer inspection. Looks brand new, in a big tin. Someone else's collectible.

The deed was done. Knife fund is down to $2.00. BUT, the Knife Mule Train is on it's way!

♪ ♫ Mule train, yeah, yeah. Mule train: clippetty-clopping over hill and plain. Seems as how they'll never stop. Clippetty-clop, clippetty.......♪ ♫

Lots of new stuff coming out. Here's a list - http://www.casexx.com/DisplayNewRelease.asp

These are on my Wan t-List..............

SECOND CUT JIGGED CRIMSON BONE

AS-GROUND CARAMEL JIGGED BONE

ROOT BEER BONE

SLANTED BOLSTER AUTUMN JIGGED BONE

Craig, the Teardrops are regular production.

Yeah, I just read that too!! FANtastic!!

Single and two blade!!

"The Tear Drops will be a standard pattern for Case. Just another great addition to the Case line that Tony has designed for a factory production pattern!"

I'll have to get a two blader...................and maybe a single blader.

Looking into getting the ebony, and will catch the amber when they hit the dealer's shelves.  I wanna look at the red bone to see if it trips my trigger.

t will be beautiful in Ebony!

It's gonna be a BIG seller in all versions!

Here's a picture from the CCC forum of the new Teardrop - 

Wait a minute, Craig.  Is the Teardrop the size of a Peanut or is the finger in the foreground, and the knife in the background?  Otherwise stated, is the Teardrop much bigger than the picture indicates?

When will the Trardrop come out and where will it be able to be got at?

Thanks, Max.  Very shrewd.
