Sorry to ruffle some feathers here.Just wondering what's going on with Case.
There shouldn’t be ruffled feathers. This is Bladeforums, it’s what we do. I have had good luck with Case knives, but I think Vic has better and more consistent quality. It is pretty staggering when you consider how many knives per year Vic makes.
Still, both are quite acceptable to me at their price points. Lots of bang for the buck and plenty for my everyday needs. I just can’t get away from Stockmen, love that pattern.
I haven't had a bad one yet, so no I'm not tired of their quality.For years, if i wanted a new Case i have had to go through 4-5 knives of the same pattern to get one that was decent. This has not changed. Handles not even with bolsters, pins showing, weak springs, blade burrs ect. And the price increases 2-3 times a year. I don't get it.
My first pocket knife given to me was a Case small stockman. I like Case but with everything mentioned, its sad to see an American company put out a product that is a shadow of what it use to be quality wise.
To me Victorinox has better quality. I don't have the issues with the SAK's i buy.
Anyone else tired of the poor quality from Case?
You sir,are a true American.Well over 40 knives, not one bad. Great prices, quality, variety and made in the USA. Nothing bad to say here.
Have a friend who used to be a plant superintendent in China because he is married to a pretty little Chinese girl who came from there. He said people were paid like 35 cents a day and mostly slave and child labor. I will not cater to that form of manufacture nor will I support it. It's a shame when we do have no choice but to buy China made, but if given the choice, no way.Btw I hear people say Rough Rider is as good or better ?
I've had probably 6 over the past few years and not a single good one.
For the price excellent but I've had way better from case, and Case is American made.
The Case/Bose knives are pretty darn good. The average knife, not so much. Sadly Case is building knives for "collectors" and unlike GEC (who does the same) QC takes a back seat to sales. Case is quickly being surpassed by stuff coming in from China.
I sure don't have to buy my tools , knives, or boots from China.Have a friend who used to be a plant superintendent in China because he is married to a pretty little Chinese girl who came from there.
