Newest Case Pick-Ups

[Steve Warden]

Finally added a 10 dot Loom Fixer to the collection. Hard to believe this knife is 50 years old already, Case made a great knife back then.

Niiiiiiiiiiiice!! A beauty, for sure.

But why is it called a Loom Fixer?

Freakin' awesome JohnR, love the jigging on that one! Great find.

This one came yesterday. I already had a stag Mini-Trapper I got from ~Q~ but this one was so reasonable I couldn't pass it up.

But why is it called a Loom Fixer?

As I understand it, it has something to do with the mills in the fabric weaving arena. For some reason, Georgia pops into my mind every time I see one. Crazy, eh??

Thank you all

Steve not sure but I did find this, A commercial name given by Case to their #6217, a swayback jack pattern with sheepfoot and pen blades that was apparently popular in the weaving industry. Ka-Bar used this term as well and even registered it as a trademark.

Jerry and John, thanks for the reply.

Absolutely gorgeous !!! Congrats on a terrific snag .. ... ..

Mmmm Mmm. I do like me some Loom Fixers. It's a dirty shame the Case Loom Fixers are so dang nabbed expensive.

Nice snag Jerry!

[TPK]

I snagged this one a while back on the AAPK.

Case "MM" Shield, 6227 SS, 2 blade small Stockman with Chestnut Bone.

Threw in the Peanut for size comparison.

Thanks for looking friends!

A couple o' beauties there, my friend!
My only issue is with the size. 3-1/4 is pushing my lower limit.
Almost sad that I see such sweet knives that I know I'll never carry.
Oh, well. Still pretty to look at! And if you're happy with 'em...

That's great that we all have different tastes or we'd all be bidding for the same knives! LOL!
I understand exactly how you feel Steve. I feel that way about larger knives.
My sweet spot is between 2-1/4 & 3-1/2 inches.

Tom, your mentioning our different tastes could also be in the handle material. I have a pile of delrin handled Case knives but they can in no way compare in looks to the bone handled Case knives. The other side of that coin will allow you to use the Peanut and beat it up and probably not see any damage to the generic handles, not so with the pretty little bone handles, see quite a few with chips in the corners next to the bolsters.
Seems like we usually see the 6227 as a Jack knife rather than a pen knife.
Any way you look at these little knives they are great! Congratulations on adding another Case to the pile!

That's true Philip. I carry the Peanut only because of it's Derlin scales. If they were bone handles it would be in my showcase. After all, it is a 2001 and would complete my "Case Family Collection".

Can't bring it over my heart to use a beautiful bone handeled Case as an EDC yet. Maybe that will change some day when I have a great big pile of them or if I had one that was a bit "less new". Problem is finding used Case knives over here.

Gotta run,
Tom

How'd I miss this? Very nice loom fixer, absolutely stunning,

I have a few myself, but not that nice. I got hooked on them a few years ago before I had my carpel tunnel surgery. It got so bad it hurt to even hold my old 6375s. I picked up a 4 dot at a gun show for a whopping $35 and was hooked right then and there. I could use it and not hurt! Now the hands are fixed, but I'm still hooked on the loom fixer.

Can i ask where you found this, if you would rather not say i fully understand. It is just a beautiful knife.

Thank you all for the nice comments, Cudgee, I picked it up on EBAY, it actually sat for a few weeks and the seller kept dropping the price, I think what hurt it is e had bad pictures and poor description, the pictures were so dark you had a hard time telling if it was bone or delrin.

Don't knock the Delrin in all Case's, Tom. There's (I believe) a Delrin Muskrat that is rare and sought by Muskrat and Case collectors.

You will become attached to that Peanut after some time and it will be part of you, like your right hand.

Ok John, I'll take your word on that. May have been my inexperience speaking there. I would like to have something with "Slick-Black" scales some day. Have my eye on a Klaas Stockman with Slick-Black Derlin.

I think Steve P. told me about the Delrin deal many moons ago.

[TPK]

Very NICE Tom.. Even for the size they do pocket real good!! You might be surprised!!!
John

Opps, Sorry I forgot to reply to a couple of comments on my Slimline Trapper.

Thanks John!

[TPK]

Some beautiful knives being shown around here! I especially like that 6233 of yours Jerry! It's awesome!

I picked up this near mint 2017 Slimline Trapper at a reasonable price back in June but it just showed up this week. Although these puppys are larger knives than I normally prefer for carrying, it's a fine additon to my small collection of Case knives. Thanks for looking!

Very nice Tom! I like a slimline trapper! Great for slicing tomatoes, cucumbers and any other fruits and veggies. I got a 1970 ten dot I like very much. Yours is a beauty! Enjoy! I think you will like it. Keep after them.

Well spotted, and well bought. You have a " Ripper" there. His loss and your gain.
