All About Pocket Knives

The old Case red bone grabs me. It's has splotches of everything from white to red to black. Loooooooooooove that. And have to say I reeeeeaaaaaaly like the way Case used to keep the blades crisp and sharp even on the tang and spines. Do NOT like the modern Case blades tumbled in the medium vats to dull the edges of the spine, tip and tang and everything. Loooooooovvve the old ways and the old bones and the old everything much, much better. Case should start making them like this again and they could charge what GEC is charging because to me, as I view it, GEC did not much more than take old machines and old ways and make knives like Case used to in the pre-seventies eras. I love these older ones. Somebody modified the bolsters to brushed/satin on this one. They hit the pins and bone too, dulled them up. Love the jigging on these oldies too, and this one seems to have different jigging on both sides. But I like that too. And perfect transitions, tight no light, no gaps between liner and springs. I saw a post that said a Case rep recently said as long as you can't put a credit card in the gap between springs and liner, it passes inspection now days. Sad. These oldies are light tight, you couldn't put a piece of paper between them, much less credit card. Tight, solid, dead centered, very satisfying snap and click open and closed. Great spring tension. Thanks Knifeaholic.

On advice of my attorney (OCD Monkey) I refuse to reveal what I traded for it on the grounds that it may incriminate me!
