Please help me decide!

I EDC a Case Mini Blackhorn. It handles all my normal cutting chores just fine. However it is just a plain black handled knife. I have decided to buy a new Case knife to put in rotation with the Mini Blackhorn as a "Sunday go to meetin" knife. The deed will be done when I am at SMKW in July. I have some Case knives now that would be good for that purpose but they are special to me and I don't want to use them.

I am thinking the knife should be bone or stag. I would like for everyone to suggest what would be a good knife for this purpose and their reasons.

Thanks in advance for everyone's suggestions.

Wahoo, Charles, sounds like a winner to me. That Case Copper lock is one great knife. I know for sure, I've been having one for a good while. Please, post us a picture, when you get it.

Congratulations on your decision and best wishes for the Mini Copperlock being all the knife you need it to be. The discussion nearly convinced me to carry one - and I might yet. Been carrying a Butterbean for some years now as a "dress" knife, but I see no reason not to put a Mini Copperlock in the "dress" rotation, and even a 61225L lockback as well.

I sure hope you like it, sounds like a winner to me!

I must say any of the knives suggested would have been Winners! Wasn't a bad idea in the bunch!

The idea of the box sounds cool and probably a little nicer looking than my old cigar box. LOL

Hey, this is my Copper Lock and my Sling Shot. I have no idea, why the blade looks so scratchy , it's really in fine shape. The real, deal is these are some fine knives. Max, has some fine knives and photos. Thanks Max, for showing them for what they really are, really fine knives.

Robert, that beauty would be a real looker to pull out and show off, I'm sure jaws would drop with one look at that pocket worn Stag. That is a gorgeous knife. I have to say that sling shot is purdy darn cool also!

I think you'll be happy with the mini Copperlock.

That a nice one Robert! Looks like it's gotten a lot of good use and love.

I'm ready to see pictures of it when you get it Charles!

I will definitely post pics when I get it. But since I have bought three in the last week, I will be actually ordering it in two weeks when my bank account has been refreshed.

Yes, I know about refreshing the money tree. I keep watering mine but it keeps giving me dirty looks.
