Just picked up this Case Mini Trapper with Caplifter/Screwdriver blade and amber bone scales. Gonna carry this one at work for a while because this screwdriver blade is my pass key to get into all the electrical control panels.
The "standard" 62009 Barlow is what they are bringing back. They will be put out all year for 2019. And single blades will be made. The first one should be a blue bone single blade.
Thanks for the pics, Craig. I was hoping they would have made a single blade in red bone (smooth or otherwise) as personally the Blue Caribbean doesn't float my boat. I kinda like the Corn Cob (not shown) but again it's blue and I don't need another a spear. Obviously they can't please everyone, lol. Others to come later? Maybe?
Got a message today from a couple of Case dealers........
The's a Barlow shortage already!
It'll take a couple weeks or so longer for some dealers to get them in!
I predicted this would happen. The Barlow is arguably the most popular Jack Knife, maybe ever? And Case hasn't made it for years. The perfect storm! LOL!
Hi folks, long time since my last question or comment. Good to be back. I saw this double end cattle type knife. And checked my Levine's guide and it;s not in there! It's really a rare one , if Bernard Levine doesn't cover it. Now the seller says it pre-dates Case Bros. and Platt's , however it looks like, a pattern both could have produced. I would say a 1905-1920 era , contract knife, for a short lived local cutlery concern, in Eldred, Pa. made by Platt's Sons or W.R. Case . Here;s a photo, and the link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-VTG-CASE-PLATTS-ELDRED-CUTLERY-C...
Lots of new releases announced! Looks like the Case knife boom from last year is continuing.....and 2019 is just getting started!
Check these out - http://www.casexx.com/NewRelease/ (Of course they can be ordered from your favorite dealer when they arrive. SHC is shown because they are one of the only dealers that shows an advanced notice for ones about to arrive in the very near future......that's why I have a link to them.) :-)
Anyone see those the new Black & White Carbon Fiber knives that Case just brought out? Looks pretty neat to me. I think I might get a Mako Shark in it.
Also.......how do you like the new "modernized" Shark Tooth made in conjunction with Southern Grind Knives?
Case boom is happening here, just received a Sod Buster from Dan Fitzgerald, my first soddy. Always wanted one of these and I like the fit/finish & the general "feel" of the knife, I give it a thumbs up!
Just heard something from a reliable source (though I do not have solid confirmation) that Case has ordered 500 billets of HHH Damascus. Neither Randy, nor Randy Jr have posted anything on iKC for a while, so haven't sent them a message. If true, hope some of that makes its way to a seahorse whittler or two!!
I have been getting a few calls and decided I must announce this but know it is with the deepest of sorrow. Tony Bose has passed away, I have no details at this time and will leave it to the family to announce more. Rest in Peace my friend. My heart breaks at our loss but rejoices at your reunion with those gone before you
Very nice looking Older Haley's Comet Commemorative from 1986 Many other of the 51 patterns are much more expensive and look to be continue to gain in price. This may be a sleeper for younger collectors! .
I use this data base a great deal when looking to do research on Case products. KnifeDB.comis the only Case reference that attempts to show knives with their correct boxes. I Currently have identified 1,008 different Case factory boxes, and over 11,400 knives have a box linked to their listing. Remember that individual boxes did not become common until the 1980's.

Don't know whether to be happy or worried. I've heard if CASE sending back unrepaired knives.
