Got these in the mail a couple days ago. Unfortunately, the seller's pictures did not show the back side of the blades where someone had written prices on them at some point with a sharpie (fortunately not the prices I paid). Also, had a back spring broken on the 5254D trapper that was not mentioned in the listing. I was obviously disappointed with these issues, but still like the knives and got them for a pretty good price.

Haven't had a chance to clean the blades up yet but will try a couple of options that will hopefully do the trick and I will likely send the trapper back to Case for repair under warranty. I have contacted the seller and will hopefully we can resolve these issues with a partial refund.

Great knives, crap seller! I can't believe not mentioning those issues in the listing, but you got some very cool knives, Kevin. Go after them!

Kevin, you got some great stag in that purchase and fortunately the "issues" can be fixed. Nice score!

Beautiful stag on all those beauties.
Nice catch!

Those white covers really make it pop.
Nice score!

Thanks Marco! Always appreciate your feedback... Got'em all cleaned up today and the blades look much better. I would love to know who the heck thought using a permanent marker on the blades was a good idea. Now I just need to get that damn broken spring fixed.

Wanted to add a leather lanyard to it but this leather is too thin & it doesn't look right so I'll have to get some thicker leather & try it again. At 3 3/4" without the bail, it will make a nice carry & user.

Thanks for looking!

Yep, you never know what some people's children will screw up next, Kevin.
Regarding the broken spring, is that something you have the skills to repair yourself, or if not there are tons of guys here who can do it, although I have a feeling you can look after it yourself.
Please show us when it's done!

Nice little half whittler with Wharncliffe style frame, Tom. First one like that I've seen with a bail.
Curious about the closed length. I'm guessing 3 1/8" ??

That's a really nice HOK, Tom, it looks good and I'm certain will perform to it's best for you.
Great choice!
