Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
Damn! Another one I don't have yet! I've almost ordered one of those several times but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Are you peeking at my "wanted list"?
Here's another one of my LEs.......Series VIII.

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
Another nice LE Charlie! I don't have any of that style of marking on any of my canoes..... yet.
I think our want lists would be about the same!
Here is another of my gun related canoes.

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
You have good taste, Titan. Another one I been tracking down. I love those red G-10 handles and the Ruger logo really sets it off. I found one for sale last week!!! I think you just made up my mind what my next acquisition will be...............unless, of course, another one I've been wanting catches my eye. That's the problem, can't buy everything on your wanted list at the same time so you have to pick and choose which ones to buy when the budget allows. It's always a tough call for me.
Here's one that's kinda' special to me, being from AZ originally.

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
That is real cool. Your custom knife makes more sense to me now, being you are an Arizona native.
I'm not going to post another tonight. I gotta space 'em out or I will run out of pics. Have a nice threesome to show off for my grand finale at some point!

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
Charlie, There are an amazing number of blade etchings on these Case Canoes, really interesting collection you have assembled - and that Colt just knocks my eyes out.
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark
Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
Thanks OH. BTW, the Colt belongs to Titan...........unless he wants to send it on over to me for safe keeping!

Nice! Aquamarine? I have no butterbeans. Surely at some point I will.

Nice Green Apple = Green Bay Packers or Oakland A's!
This came in the mail today. Not a true canoe, rather a heft gunboat! 093/500 from 2004
Here's it's cousin....

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
Very nice! Just as a butterbean is a baby canoe, a gunboat is nothing more than a big canoe. They are both variations on the original canoe pattern.
Here's another canoe, LE Series IV pitch black bone...

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
That's nice!
I had to send my second NIB Johnny Cash ebony wood knife back to seller. The quality control has been horrible on that model for some reason. I have bought at least half a dozen other Case canoes from the seller - all are tip top with maybe minor polishing required if anything. But these JC knives have scratched wood/blades and or bolsters... Now the dealer will hand pick one for me. Love when people stand buy what they sell (like I do in my business)! /rant over!

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
Sorry to hear that Titan. I posted a pic of mine on page 3, it was fine when it arrived. I bought it from SMKW when the JC canoes first came out a year or two ago.

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
Nice! I take it those Limited Editions have mainly the same blade etching, but different handle materials/colors that make them limited editions? I don't have any.
I came across this in my mailbox today. Seller on ebay described as SS blade. Low and behold it is marked SS on the blade! This is the first Indian in the Canoe etch I have come across that had SS not CV blades! (Educate me on this too if you have a chance please!!)

Re: Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?
Damn Titan! Another one I've been wanting to get! We should combine our collections. You seem to have the ones I don't and vice-verse, together we probably cover most of the canoes made!!!
You are correct about the LE Series, they differ in handle color, jig pattern, and shield. Each series is produced in limited numbers, the earlier series were 2500 and the more recent series are 3000. They haven't offered a canoe or butterbean pattern in all of the series (there are usually 11 patterns in each series) but I have every one that has been offered to date (canoe or butterbean that is).
I can't educate you on the canoe etching on SS. I'd need to do some research. I know that the ones I have are all CV.
Here's another LE, Series IX, Burnt White Bone.
