2015 run V-42 Stiletto knife

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Anyone here own one from the latest production run last year? If so, what do you think of it?

I inspected one a few months ago at Shepherd Hills Cutlery. I was impressed with quality but it was priced too rich for me, especially for a recently made knife. Just not my thing. ::shrug::

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

Thanks Ken! They are supposedly, the best detailed reproduction of the V-42 ever done. I've got one coming in on Monday and the display case that goes with it too. I'll never buy an original, that is out of my knife buying insanity range, so this one will have to do.

And don't worry! It'll never see the Work Sharp! :lol:

I haven't seen it but I do have the 1998 model made by Camillus for Case.
My Dad bought it for my brother-in-law since he was in the Green Berets
My sister gifted it to me after he died a couple years back. Great quality knife it appears.
