Here ya go, a gen-u-WHINE one of a kind pro-tow-type (user modified) CASE tested, multi tool!! ::woot::

Image

Main blade is now a saw blade. ( kind of, or maybe a fish scaler/saw blade )
Image

Notice the screwdriver tip on the combo fish scaler/saw blade,
Image

For those clandestine operations, the back side has been handled with a piece of pine most likely off the outhouse door.

This one is a little newer, 10-dot, but I thought it was nice enough to add here.

I love the red bone handles Case used on these ::drool::

This one came out of a factory display case, it`s factory fresh.

Here is question for you all...

On the CASE Display board that Dimitri posted on this page, center of the display, is a CASE 2109B Budding and Grafting knife, best I can tell from the pic. The one with the Gunstock frame.

The display says military knives. What the hell was the military using a Budding and Grafting knife for???
