Nice Canoe there Tom! Didn’t know you are a John Deere guy, or is it just the nice knife ? Does Case have factory outlets or stores there in Germany ? Didn’t find any when there in the 70s. But man , that was a long long time ago it seems .
Thanks for sharing that with us and you take care over there and stay safe and warm.

Thanks JP!

I've been a fan of the John Deere Case shields all along but never had the money to get one. Or..., maybe I should say, I am trying to buy less knives this year but then buy better knives when I do buy one. Guess I'm a fan of them because they have "USA written all over them" so to speak.

Just love anything like that.

We don't have any really good places to buy case knives. I usually buy what I can find on eBay but that's not much either.

The only half decent place I have found over here is this link below but they don't have very many sales or specials.

Anyways, my plan is to buy just one or two "better" knives a month instead of 5 or 6 cheaper knives. We'll see how that goes.

Gee thanks Jeff for raining on my parade.

It's a dirty shame we don't have a fingers crossed emoji. Maybe I'll ask Bryan.

But seriously, I had to have it because it reminds me of my dad. KS stands for Kelly Springfield. My father used to work at one of their factories in Cumberland, Maryland. He worked there for about 10 years. When they closed the factory, we moved to FL. He was always proud of having worked there. I guess it was the best job he ever had. I know he always talked posative about his time there. I also have a KS Tire ashtray that was one of my dad's prised possessions.

I remember that sometimes when he worked the night shift at KS, I would go with him to work on friday nights. He would go to work & I would sleep in his truck. Then on saturday morning, we would go to the flea market where he would sell stuff and I would roam around the flea market / livestock market all day. Then he would let me get something small like some marbles, a match box car, an old coin or maybe even a chicken. Good memories are getting my eyes wet.

Anyways, it's 76mm long. When I get it and we are no longer on lock down, I will have it engraved with his initials and dates ( R.E.D. 1947 - 2016 ) or something like that & then add it to my EDC's. I'm happy that I got it. I almost let it go but I would have kicked myself for a long time if I had passed it up.

Thanks for looking friends!

Tom--I missed this post somehow.. What a great story!

I can relate on many levels with it...I think that's a great idea, what you are going to have done.. carry it proudly and passionately my friend!

.. please post pictures when it's engraved...

Dave at Nordic knives put this one in the mail for me today, been looking at it for a week. Forged San Mai by Shoshui Takeda with a Super Blue core and handled by Moriya, Mammoth ivory and micarta. I have wanted a Takeda for some time and waited too long on one last year that had gorgeous blue mammoth.
