Unfortunately i cannot purchase Case knives anymore, they will not sell to Australia, and a few other countries.1967redrider wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 11:46 pm

Bought this one, but I'm not all that impressed with it.
It seems to be a good knife however the design is only on one side
and the weight is more than I thought it would be. I had planned
on carrying it in Sunday slacks but it is too heavy. It will be great for a
pair of jeans. The cover is like a clamshell that slides over the liners,
that's the best I can describe it.

I'm disappointed the design is only on one side. I was thinking about a brass one. Clamshell design doesn't thrill me either. I think I'll wait until I can see one in person.

Wow, David!
You should have gotten 2 more and had a new one for each day of the week.
Very nice.

This knife represents the end of the road for me...at least for this year. If there's still any kind of habitable world remaining at the start of 2023, I might resume my knife collecting then, although it would be on a much more limited scale.
2022 Barehead Wharncliffe Trapper 10154W CS Green Canvas Micarta
Overall, it's an OK knife, nothing special except for the single Wharncliffe blade and the slim profile. Not too sure about the carbon steel (CS) that was used, I'm guessing it must be different from the chrome vanadium (CV) Case normally uses when not using their proprietary SS surgical stainless steel.
Sadly, I am not 100% satisfied with the quality of this particular knife.
The run-up is probably the worst I have ever seen on a Case knife
The blade is not centered (not off enough to rub, but definitely not dead centered)
The opening action feels strange to me, not at all what I am used to on Case knives. Feels too tight as though the tang is being pinched too much at the pivot. (No half-stop, but this is normal on a full-size 54 Trapper)
Fortunately, the lock-up is solid with good snap and no wobble in any direction.

~Q~ from your pictures I would say that is a classy looking knife but from you review it sounds like the CASE craftsmanship and attention to detail just might be right out the window on this one.QTCut5 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 4:22 am This knife represents the end of the road for me...at least for this year.

When you say end of the road I can understand with the price of everything going through the roof, but I hope you will stay with us on AAPK, please.

Sure is a cool looking knife, Q. Like David said, please don't be a stranger. Hopefully things will get better for everyone, although it might not seem that way now. I love looking at your collection. You can start posting them again from the beginning, and we'll have enough to enjoy for a few years at least! You are a huge part of AAPK, and let's hope it stays that way! Cheers, KerryQTCut5 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 4:22 am This knife represents the end of the road for me...at least for this year.

Q, that 10154W sure looks nice. Shame about the subpar workmanship, though.

Was sucked in by the siren song of Wharn, single blade, bare head carbon steel, OD canvas micarta, SFO. But I have to second what Q said. The run up is really bad and the micarta is so far from even side to side it's sad. Case can do much better than this, don't know what they were thinking working on it, or at the quality control inspection. Embarrassing.

Someone just put a new sanding belt on, and got a bit carried away. Wow. Sorry you got that one I-Man. I'm sure they will exchange that, but I know how you feel if you didn't want another one...Ivoryman wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 12:05 am Was sucked in by the siren song of Wharn, single blade, bare head carbon steel, OD canvas micarta, SFO.

I might just do that. It's so bad I would be embarrassed to carry it and pull it out. If they just put on a new sanding belt, they ruined at least the next two knives since Qtcut5 has one that looks as bad. That's two in the run. Bad numbers already for a smaller SFO. But it's so bad I think you may have something. I hate to do it, but I can't see reaching for this knife given it's so poorly done and depressing.

Congrats Buck Casey! 
"You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done"

Q, I wonder if a thoughtful letter to the Case CEO explaining -in a friendly yet concerned manner-the frequent disappointment in quality might have influence.
