Does anyone use their Case Classic?

I have collected a handful of Case Classics over the years and have been wanting to use one of them but haven't had the nerve to do it. I found this moose on ebay awhile back that had already been broken in. It has become one of my favorite users. I love the Carbon steel blades. It makes me want to break in a few more.

i actually bought a mossbottom greenbone 6394 cigar whittler( a higher run, i think 600 made) as an edc, back when they were released. I gotta tell you,its one of my favorite i ever had

, i continued carrying it after i had managed to break both the bone handles off.

Nowadays, I would really find it hard to edc one of my cc's.

Chris,
I bet that cigar whittler was a nice carry. The equal end knives are some of my favorite.

I have a couple of 6391's, a candy stripe barndoor toothpick, a couple of 1072's and a waterfall coke bottle, all with the beginnings of celluloid disease. I haven't had the heart to sharpen any of them yet. Oh, yeah, also a sowbelly whittler.
Don't know what I'll do with them. Oughta swap 'em or somethin'. I dunno.

ccbill......re-handle or have them re-handled. at least remove the offending cell before it gets worse or spreads to others. what a shame.

Well, I for one would rehandle. Depends on how much you like the knives, is a good rule of thumb, pearls, abalones, corals, ivories, and even some woods are great. Just do it so that it won't end up as a counterfeit by using filework, bolster engraving, and the guy who does the work can stamp the inside of the liners. I like stabilized woods also.

But I favor a good pearl, tiger coral, or abalone. Sometimes you just have to lose the value to save the knife and make sure someone down the road can't off them as rare knives. Good luck!
