This is a hit and miss issue that CASE is ignoring and hoping it goes away!! That seems to be their way as of late.. Some have acceptable(??) snap and others are WEAK!! I got the Shot Shot TB signature ebony and the snap is sad!! Guess after handling/buying a few GEC knives I expect too much!! Seems as as long as it looks good thats all they care about!! John

It does have a weak snap but you're right about comparing it to a GEC snap, there's no contest.
Its not a bad knife, just somewhat of a let down

Nice jack Scott.

The attachment case 28.JPG is no longer available

I got mine the other day. The pen snaps like a gator, but the main blade is a weak sister!

I think this one has found a permanent home in my pocket.
I love the massive spine on the main blade.

-makes for a useful working blade, and a handsome one at that. Good choice.

home with a cold all day where congress was in session- -that top Boker will get a round made of a piece of buffalo nickel as a shield sooner or later.

I could put the same old tired pics here.
Buy y'all know my Humpback, Imperial Scout and Case Chestnut Peanut by now.....

Edit: I cannot speak to Case's QC procedures but it is not uncommon for manufacturers to QC samples or to do batch sampling. In other words, they take every other tenth, twentieth, fiftieth (whatever) knife and QC it. Or they may take a sample of five or ten knives every so often and QC them (batch sampling). If the sample or the batch pass QC, they assume all the other knives will also pass QC. 100% QC (inspecting every single piece that comes off the end of the line) is EXPENSIVE and seldom practiced any more. It cuts into their profit and of course in present day industry, that is not acceptable. It's all about the money and product quality is secondary.

Of course Case. They manufactured the knife and warrantied it to be free of "defects in materials and workmanship". There are some assumed performance standards for any product. For knives, it is widely assumed that the knife will not fall apart or fail doing the task for which it was designed (reasonable cutting chores) and to accomplish that task, the blades will open and close to an unwritten but widely accepted industry standard. In this case, that thing commonly referred to as "snap". Having used the item is totally irrelevant.

Give them a call. 1-800-523-6350 It's a toll free number. What does it cost you other than a few minutes of your time? You may not get anywhere but on the other hand, you may be pleasantly surprised. After all, you are part of the customer base that keeps them in business and it's your God given, American, economic right to get a product for your hard earned money that satisfies you. Er' sumpin' like that.

Linnea used to chastise me for speaking my mind in a restaurant. I've lost count of the times I've told her, "It's my money. I have a right to expect a quality product for my money and damn it, they asked. If they don't want to know what I think of the food, don't ask."

Packing Violet up tomorrow to forward to Blue; decided to go with my Case Saddlehorn for a few days. OH

Hey, Colonel. You gonna cut drywall with that bad boy?

No DW for the next few days; office work, sales calls, meetings, and turkey hunting! OH

Sales calls, meetings and turkey hunting. Aren't they the same.
( sorry sick sense of humour )

I don't have a pic of it and it ain't my fave.
But I picked up a Kershaw 3430 Tone knife at Academy (I should NEVER go in that store) and have been working on the lanyard/bead.

Carried a couple of Imperials today

I think you are right! Had a good morning, two nice toms in this area, henned up - got them within 100 yards but that was it, having a lunch break, going back out this afternoon - gotta get one soon (tomorrow is closing day). Carrying the big Buck 112 on my belt and this Case 6207W in my pocket. Gotta go, OH

Both are good choices

Good luck Bruce!!!


Carrying my Kershaw Scallion and GEC American Jack still...

Heading to the woods (Jay B. Starkey Park) today with the grandsons, great nieces and nephews, so I'll be toting this beast....

Here is a shot of the Kershaw Tone I SHOULD NOT have bought! And here in it's current livery is the very excellent Kershaw Thermite! Which is in my shorts pocket.
