Let's see your Traditional Case knives, old to new.

New to me...
Nice-looking Stockman, John!!

Tony Bose received a handful of single blade trappers from Case for market testing, about the same time Bill Howard was walking across town to start a new knife company, in 2006. Tony gave me one to try out, after he put a great edge on it!! It is still sharp after these several years - a successful field test for sure, if not a marketing test!!
It has become a well-made memento for me! I wonder how they'd sell with this marvelous steel in them?? I wonder if it will ever get dull??:oops::DTrial run from Tony 1.jpgTrial run from Tony 2.jpgTrial run from Tony 3.jpg

That is super nice, Charlie. 🤠 :thumbsup:
 
Don't worry, it must be the one they sent me... :confused:
😂 It sure feels like that sometimes! When I was buying mini trappers with wharncliffe blades it seemed like I was getting all the ones with blade play. I even stopped buying them for a while to break the string of bad luck. 😁
I recently received one as a gift from John and it’s a little jewel! Bad luck over! 😉👍252B616F-1C76-437B-BD28-509155B84DA2.jpeg
