Re: Won't be too long.

The site did get hit hard initially. I was finally able to get the page to load and purchased a cocobolo with the federal shield.

This is going to be a nice run, some great handle materials. I’m excited about the acrylics and the northfields have some nice bolsters, reminiscent of the 77 WJ.

Here’s the pioneer bone, I really like the lighter color on some of these. The darker dye pioneer bone which you generally see lacks character. I’m also a fan of the camel bone and how the dye takes to the dense bone, creates some unique handles.

Re: Can someone tell me why I can't find this knife anywhere.

Make a wanted/ISO (in search of) post on AAPK, the other big knife forum, or on various Facebook groups. Will help if you have the manufacture name for this one. Good luck.

I love a stockman knife and these Case/Bose collaborations hit all the right boxes for me. Full-size, quality steel, solid walk and talk, just feels good in your hands.

Re: Case Paste— any cautions?

I pick up a tube to clean up some patina and light pitting, seemed like a cheaper alternative to Flitz. Works fine, as others have mentioned it is a light abrasive so avoid the handles, helps to use a q-tip to initially control the application.

Sounds like they’re almost gone. I’m surprised Buck hasn’t hopped onto the slipjoint market more. Would be nice to see a yearly production offering in stag, a different colored derlin, or acrylic.

Re: PayPal resolution

Lyle, glad you had a positive resolution in the end. Im still holding out hope for another run of farmer jacks! Still baffling on how their service is used by eBay and nearly every company selling knives I deal with. They really need to get their company policy in order.
