I like it for sure. It is about the most substantial looking canoe I've seen.

It's a well made knife. The fit and finish are good. I haven't used it so I can't comment on the blade steel. The slip joints are smooth with good snap and no play or wobble. The only thing I don't like about it is it's imported from China. However, bang for the Buck, (pun intended) it's a good economy priced knife for under $25.00. I have a small display of Chinese canoes with American and German makers names on them, it resides there.

Some really nice canoes. Unfortunately my canoe count is now at zero. Got to get working on that.

Squatch, Looking over the canoes you have posted the last couple of months you can certainly have a strikingly colorful display of canoes. Hope you have the room to display them together. If so, how about a group shot.

Here's a shot of the Collection Corner in my home office. It's two or thee years old so the collection has grown since it was taken. I'll have to get a more recent pic.

Wow, that is one nice setup to display your collection. Wish I had some space to do something like that.

Thank you gentlemen! ::super_happy::

The other walls are covered with sports and concert memorabilia. It's great until you start thinking about repainting the walls! :shock: ::rotflol::

Great shot of the displays Sasquach. That's a group of knives, looks like about 200 at least.

Thanks Ivoryman! Actually, in that picture it's closer to 300, maybe a few more.

Thanks Ken. I think the shield is pretty cool too. I've been waiting for Case to get around to doing a Harley canoe. When I saw this one I snagged it.

You are correct to the best of my knowledge Big Homer, the Bob White canoe was made by Queen. I don't have a Bob White in the collection....yet. I'll remedy that issue at some point. I've seen a couple on ebay but I always seem to have too many irons already in the fire when they come around. Yours is a fine example. They're solid knives. ::tu::

Here again, to the best of my knowledge, the canoe pattern as we know it has been around since at least 1895 maybe longer. According to Case they have been using the canoe pattern since 1895. I don't know if anyone was using the pattern before that but I think it's a pretty good guess that Case got the idea from older knives. ::shrug::
