With CV.

I'd be OK with CV, I do like the patinas. But honestly, I'm getting to where I prefer stainless.

Slightly better/ different pic of the bones of the current "my favorite bones" selection.

It was the best of pics... it was the worst of pics.
Best in helping me decided between the two I've been considering.
Worst by making me want four instead of the one I've been considering.
Thanks, Gordon! Really Nice Line-Up!!!

I've wanted a Case teardrop for sometime now and have a green and a sawcut in shopping carts all over the planet.
After seeing your pic, the smooth red is looking extra special and bearhead Tribals are once again, back on the table.
Thanks for the tempta... help.

Decided to take some pictures today. This is a Case red bone XX 6445R that I got a few years ago for a good price because the tip of the blade was broken off and the bail was missing. I don't care about the bail and I was able to reshape the blade into a clip point which I prefer. The old red bone is some pretty stuff.

This is a trapper that belonged to my father. As best as I can tell it is a 1972.

This is a 6265 folding hunter, a XX USA on a Case XX frame with drilled bolster, supposed to have been made in 1965, the year I was born. There are light scratches on the blades and wear at the hinges from opening but no rust and no apparent sharpening, so it appears to be unused. The tang stamp is unusual as there is no USA visible.

This is a Case 640045R Camp/Utility, jigged delrin and stainless blades.
