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.

Been sick as of late, and unfortunately missed two weeks of work. Was lucky enough to pick up a few knives before I got sick. Have been eyeing this orange Derlin handled 6375 on the Case knife outlet site over the past two months. To say its "orange" is quite an understatement. Would like to add the blue Derlin covered one Case put out a few years ago. Will have to postpone some knife purchases for the month, until everything gets back on track.
Hope everyone enjoys the photos.
Thanks,
Phil

My antique bone Tribal Lock arrived today! Going into edc service tomorrow. Should have went with a more contrasting background than tiger oak. Will get better pics later.

I've been bit by the slimline trapper bug lately ... they don't print much in the pocket they're so thin, always have nice walk & talk and are basically an overgrown peanut. I'm thinking these will make great panfish fillet knives this summer - update on that to follow. Liking this CCC version I just picked up --->

I think the pic looks good Bill. Lovely knife and beautiful wood background.
John, I've always thought that design has a certain elegance to it. Great knife.

That, is a beautiful knife.... Thanks for sharing... Ken
Back in December of 2013 when Case came out with their USMC series, I bought one of the Copperlock patterns. When I received it, the shield was floating around in the tin it came in. I could have epoxied it back in but given my disappointment and the price I'd paid for it, I returned it for a refund.
Fast forward six and a half years to May of 2020 and you find me buying the 54 Trapper from the series. It came yesterday and I'm very pleased with it. No floating shield on this one. (plus it was $10 less than it was in 2013. What a deal, eh?)

Nice. I've got a few of those and your right, they work pretty good on panfish like Crappie and Bream.

I have this exact same knife. This handle material is really beautiful.
It kinda looks like mammoth ivory. Jusy my opinion.

Funny - I never gave them a second thought & I eventually found one for a deal & tried it. I've definitely taken a liking to them ... it's just a nice size to carry in the pocket - super light and slim & a great slicer.

The bone color is what hooked me. I've been carrying a large stockman. After a week of carry I'm loving everything about the tribal lock. And.....there just may be an antique jigged bone medium stockman in the mail somewhere to be its companion. We won't tell the Mrs till after mother's day

Ha ha!! Sure do. But it will have to wait. I just bought a knife from Ray, and I need to hold back to make sure I have enough pennies for an Uberti Cattleman, a replica of the 1873 Single Action Army. Looking at the .357 model, 5-1/2" barrel, brass backstrap and trigger guard.
Take care and God bless,
