New from Illinois
I recently joined the forum because I bought a silver script Case Folding Hunter and I wanted to find out more about it and Case knives in general. After reading many forum posts, I started amassing a small collection of Case Folding Hunters and Case Trappers. So far the folks on this forum have been super nice and very helpful.

Welcome aboard Jim.
Always good to have another veteran here.
We seem to have a lot of Marines here, myself included, but I know we have several Air Force vets as well.
