I’ve been eyeing the cattle knife for years, figured now was the time to finally pick one up. Requested the shop give it a look over to check fit and finish and for any blade play. Knife arrived today. Really is a beautiful well constructed knife. The blades sit low, but are easy to access. Springs are perfectly flush in all positions. The swedges on each blade are a small work of art. Visually pleasing along with providing that slight clearance between blades. The pull is solid on each blade, snap nicely into opened and closed positions. I really like the jigging and that it extends from bolster to bolster. A few minor issues. The shield is proud, set and sanded to be flush with the highest jigged ridge. This does leave edges exposed. The main blade does have very slight side play when closed. This seems fairly common and was a concern I requested to be checked for. Its very slight, and once opened the blade is solid. I don’t want to return the knife over it, and not sure if I’ll send it to Case to try and fix since it’s so slight and I’m pleased with the current pull of the blades, hate to mess that up. Overall a great knife design by Tony.
