i was watching the Copperlock pattern but i am not sure if there are old Case knives  of this pattern besides the one i could see on Amazon.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Case knives Rhamer!

Case has a lot to pick from. You might want to go here  -  http://www.wrcase.com/index_en.php  - and look around. There's a lot of information! And you might want to think about joining the Case Collectors Club and Forum  -  http://www.wrcase.com/collectors_club/join_the_club/

I'm not able to stick to one pattern.....as you can see in the Case discussion groups! LOL! So, it would be hard for me to recommend one! LOL!

These five patterns will no longer be made.....

1. Eisenhower

2. Pocket Hunter

3. Large Saddlehorn

4. Elephant's Toe

5. Small Swell Center Jack (Small Coke Bottle)

Get them while you can!

Thanks Craig, i will check your recommendations, is that i just want to narrow the knives, i know Case has a lot to choose from, but it does not hurt to invest in something that will no longer be available. lol

Hey Craig a question, best place to buy case knives??

Thanks

Howard I have seen Tonys version of this one and it is sweet.  I would think the Case version would be also but a bit pricy for me.  I will tell you he says it is one of the hardest knives to make

Rhamer, two places that come to my mind immediately are Smoky Mountain Knife Works and Shephard Hills Cutlery.

Craig by "not be made" do you mean going in the vault or actually discontinued forever?

Rhamer, it seems to me there are three folding  knives that scream W. R. Case and sons:

1)  The Russ-lock

2) The Seahorse Whittler

3) The Junior Scout.

When it comes to Fixed blades,  nothing says Case like the Kodiak!

Are there other knives that are Case Icons?  Sure but these are the ones that speak to me!

Thanks Tobias, i checked  those and the Russ-Lock is going to my short list.

Thank Charles, i already saw Shephard Hills, i will see Smoky and Knife works

"Craig by "not be made" do you mean going in the vault or actually discontinued forever?"

Discontinued forever!

Rhamer, you have mail......for a dealer list.

Thanks Craig, and thank you all have been very helpfull, i purchased 2 case knives last nite, i will post some pictures as soon as  they arrive, i can't wait. lol

Discontinued forever!   I am shocked, shocked that the Eisenhower will be no more!

Now I really need to get this 1976 Ike  displayed with my  Eisenhower Silver Dollars.

OH my....I had not seen any info on those discontinued pattern...esp. when one of them is my favorite the 25 1/5.....Craig when did they announce this... Sue

Rhamer, WATCH OUT!!!!!   Craig is the worst enabler and tease that there is!!!!!!

LOLOL!!!!!!

Too late Don, too late. lol

Sue, I first saw the information on the Case Collectors Club Forum. Case brought out a set of knives of one each in Burnt Amber Bone.

"In recognition of the 125th Anniversary celebration this year, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is opening the Case® XX Vault for an incredible opportunity. Five patterns retired to the Vault are not currently scheduled for reintroduction. We are making the final production run Vault Entry knives available for sale."

My motto; Be all the enabler I can be.

Here's a picture of the knives being discontinued;

The one that truly shocks me is the Eisenhower.  I find it hard to believe they would drop this classic pen knife. I guess no one buys it anymore.

There were some over on the Case forum that were a bit upset about the Small Coke Bottle and the Pocket Hunter too.

Hi all, finally my first and only Case Knife so far (More Coming, lol), following Craig recommendations i went for the discontinued one, i hope this is one of them not really sure, is a Case Pattern 06263 SS Item 11403. Here some Photos.

Again thanks a lot for all the help i received.

Awesome looking Case Rhamer

I like IKE!

That looks great Rhamer!!

Thanks

Tobias, so do I. I saw him at a Washington Senators Baseball game when I was a kid.

Washington Senators!!! THAT brings back memories! I went to Senators games too when I was a kid when we were living in Silver Spring Maryland.

New Peanuts! - http://iknifecollector.com/group/casefans/forum/topics/case-peanuts...

Craig, we must have lived fairly close, I used to ride my Bike out towards Silver Spring.

Small world! I grew up in Silver Spring (age 2 - 26). 

Abalone! http://iknifecollector.com/group/casefans/forum/topics/case-peanuts...

Nice Trapper!

Been wanting this knife. Got it at Knife Days, Wilmington, OH

That's a cool knife Ken!

The new Christmas knives are out - 6 pattern - Peanut, Canoe, Small Toothpick, Trapper, Medium Stockman and Mini Copperlock.

Howdy Case Fans,

I was at hunting camp for a while, and didn't have the drive to tackle email when I got back.

  Short story about the Case/Bose Lockback Whittler in 154CM I posted a few pages back.  When I got back from the cabin, I found that I received a "windfall".  So, unexpected money was headed for the Case/Bose Whittler.  But, truck inspection was due beginning now (November), and my tires were not going to pass inspection.  There went my windfall, and on top of that, my old Stihl 031AV chainsaw (from 1979) died.  It needs a couple parts that are no longer available.  The new Sthil chainsaw along with the new pick-up tires have put have put the Case/Bose Whittler way out of reach, for now.

Congratulations Don!  If I couldn't win it, I'm glad somebody on iKC did!

Thanks also Billy.

Way to go Don! I sign up for that all the time and never win. 

Craig, I didn't think I'D ever get drawn either!  Keep at it and one day it'll be your turn!

Details (pattern #'s etc.) can be found at this link:  CASE%20KNIFE%20DISPLAY%201%20DETAILS.doc Sorry to be posting this same photo again, but I'm trying to figure out how to get the "text details" (i.e. the "caption" or "legend") about the knives in the display to fit within the 4K character restraints. Per Jan, I'm going to try the "attachment option" and see if the Word Doc with the display details in it will fit.

Well, the link to the caption seems to work IF you have MS-Word on your computer. BTW, I should mention that this is NOT a complete collection of the Navy Bone w/ Red Shield patterns from Case. I know it is missing at least the Small Saddlehorn.  Interestingly, I confirmed with Case that they NEVER made a Peanut pattern in this series ! Seems like that might be a smart SFO project for some enterprising person (I wonder if you could get Case to make the SFO EXCLUSIVE !!)

Very nice Jon! I always liked the red shield with the blue bone!
