Howard....

Stainless is so cold, lifeless and if heated up too hot may or may not return to its original shape.  Carbon steel is warm, beautiful and dependable.  Unique in its own way.  Yes carbon steel needs a little more attention and loving care but the rewards are worth it.  I love my carbon steel Case knives.

I agree with Ron.

A nice YELLOW large Copperlock in CV.

Hahahaha.  Well, the best stainless has high carbon.  CPM-3V (.8C), 154CM (1.05C), BG-42 (1.15C).  [1095 (.9-1.03C)].  So, a bunch of "stainless" has essentially 1095 carbon in it.  And, after a few years your stainless blade looks better than you do (not a bad thing in my case).  Eventually, 1095 needs cosmetic surgery to look good.  I know 1095 tugs at the heartstrings of some, but if we didn't move on to bigger and better we would still be listening to cassettes or 8-tracks, and transistor radios.

Howard, I would still be listening to vacuum tube radios!  LOL

Charles, if you find one, it'll probably still be getting 1930s-1940s radio stations.  Wow!  Glenn Miller on Armed Forces Radio!  The Shadow, the Bickersons, The Loooone Ranger.

Jean-Francois that is a mighty fine lookin Copperlock!

Howard, you sure are bringing back memories.  I remember sitting in front of our floor model radio as I was growing up listening to the Lone Ranger.  It was my favorite program.  It was about three feet tall with a wood cabinet.  Obviously just an AM radio with vacuum tubes.  I remember the family sitting around listening to it and eating popcorn. 

I've had my eye on the single blade Sow for a while now.  Sooner or later one will call out to me loud enough.

If you hold that Pacific Blue up to your ear you can hear the Ocean.

Ah ha, I thought there was a CV Copperlock made before. Thanks Jean-Francois!

Yep, here's another,

CHARLES I DID THAT EXACT SAME THING! I ALSO REMEMBER LISTENING TO GEORGE AND GRACIE AS WELL.

Income Tax return is coming. Cass said I can have a bit for knives! Yay! Or....should I buy new underwear? Hmmm.......decisions, decisions.

Good point Max!

It's a trap, Craig.  Valentine's Day is between you and the refund.  Choose wisely!

So, your saying I should get HER underwear? 

I say get yourself a good Case Pruner (AKA hawkbill) and you can use it on the flowers you give her for Valentines Day.  I call that a winner-wiiner!

Hmmm......good idea! LOL!

What's wrong with me.....I have Stag on the brain. In fact I can feel two little bumps on my head. Could it be............?!

Just in!

I dislike dealers that keep things listed on their site as "in stock", but it's really NOT in stock! If they don;t have "real time inventory" then they need to keep their site cleaned up!

For you Seahorse lovers......four new ones coming out!

The Mini Trapper is being added to the Pocket Worn Bermuda line.....

I agree Craig!

Very nice Craig

AMEN, Craig!

Actually it's G-10, and the other is Smooth Chestnut Bone. I guess I should have used the larger pictures.

Getting the (gas) logs going and curling up with my Case knives getting ready for another Winter storm.  Hope it misses us.

Some good pictures of the new purple Sod Buster over at the CCC.  Looks a lot better than I thought it would! 

I was shocked at how well the purple Soddie came out. 

Hey they do look nice I have to get one on order. The Chestnut CV looks good also

I might have to start a Case Soddie collection!

Yes I know Paul, I still need the Amber bone. Maybe next week!

Just saw this on FB

ALL CASE IVORY IS CURRENTLY ON SALE

http://www.casexx.com/DisplayHandlePageFH.asp?MaterialAutoID=506

If someone wants to get me the Ivory Trapper I'll be very grateful. I'll even take the non-scrolled one.

Just ordered my,  2014 CCC Forum Knife!  

Smooth Red Box Elder Wood, Sowbelly (TB7339 SS)

ORDER FORM IS UP ON CASE SITE


Q

I have a couple of CASE CLASSIC cheetahs in ivory for sale. Probaly need to sit on the ivory stockman , but would trade for Case Classic sunfish in stag or pearl. I have to ask what does a pre-ban ivory item ban accomplish?

Rick the pre-ban ivory ban makes a selected group of the President's friends happy.  It is feel good legislation which has already proven a colossal failure in the reduction of poaching.

Congrats Max!!!!

Rick if the new law goes into effect, even the pre ban pieces will be on the no no list.  The folks that paid for the pre ban certificates will be SOL if they cannot date the material as imported over 100 years ago

I think some changes need to be made.

Well guys there are other knives around that are banned if you know what I mean. See if you can list a switchblade on ebay. But call it an auto and it will sell.

Beautiful Alan!

Hey Max, what are the chances we can post a pic of that 2014, for those folks that dont belong to the CCC YET?

I copied the pic from the Case site dont know if I'll get in trouble, hope not.

if you're a member of the Case Collectors Club Forum than this is what you can order.

Thanks Craig. Here is the tang stamp on the 61214 1/2

About the only thing ivory I want is George S. Patton's ivory handled Colt 45.

Howard,

you have great taste! :)
