Case Gray Bone Handles

[CEOh]

Hey guys. New join but I've been lurking for a while now. Been pretty excited about this knife. I was looking at G10 but the one I saw looked flat. I prefer a more rounded pocket worn style. Then I was looking at the Curly Maple in turquoise. Man, that stuff is pretty. Ultimately I came down to this. But the scales seem to be way off in color. Considering sending it back. Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Appreciate your input.

I don't think you're making a big deal out of nothing. I've had 2 Grey Bone Case knives and both of them had matching handle slabs. This is the only one I have left.

The mismatched handle slabs on your knife are a perfectly good reason to return the knife if they bother you. Personally, I wouldn't like it either. Send it back to the dealer and either ask for pics of the exchange knife or get a refund and buy from somebody that provides pics of both sides of the actual knife that you're buying.

Welcome to the forum!

It's a letdown for sure. Apprecite the input. I don't think I'll be happy with it if I keep it. I will request pics also. Thanks again!

Call me picky but I like matching covers. Or close. That would bug me too. Return it with a note to pick something closer in color matched scales?

That stinks, I sure hope the new 6208 in pocket worn grey bone I just ordered matches better.
I won't complain too much if it doesn't but would probably rather it does.

On a side note, I've gotten case knives that looked like crap in the stock photo but looked excellent on the example I received.

That is getting close to a magicians knife. It just needs the 2nd Case shield. I would be disappointed.

I'm surprised they have no material to do warranty work. I've requested they exchange the knife for an equivalent offering in stock. We'll see.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the Warranty/Repair Request form and for submitting photos of your knife. All Case knives are covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the owner. Our warranty does not cover normal wear, missing parts, accidents, altering, theft, loss, misuse, neglect, fire damage, and bent or broken blade tips.

That's very disappointing to hear. I assumed you would have some amount of parts on hand for warranty work. This knife is unavailable anywhere. Would it be possible to send it to you in exchange for Model #: 58413, which you have in stock. It's not the same jigging or blade material and, man, I really liked that pewter shield on mine, but it is gray bone 6318. Model #: 09721, the Bermuda Green 6318 would also make a fair alternative. Please work with me on this. I look forward to your reply.

Yuk..I would dye it jet black.
I did it years ago on a similarly hideous Case knife.

That's a pretty nice one right there. I had been thinking about getting on in this cover, and recently saw an ad for their newer blue synthetic and really like the look of it a lot. Probably pass for now with multiple knives on order, but I do like this one. Also prefer the regular Case shield and not the pewter one, personally.

That's more like it.

I just got this navy synthetic. Both sides definitely match on it.
