Case Tribal Lock question
Case Tribal Lock question
I really like the looks of the Case Tribal locks. For any of you guys that have handled them before, have there been any quality issues? I am really wondering specifically about blade wobble. Any input would be appreciated. This is the one I am looking at

Re: Case Tribal Lock question
Every one I have is rock solid no blade wobble at all. Some do have a little stouter locks than others meaning it takes a little more thumb pressure so if possible I would test it out before you buy.

Thanks Greg! I was hoping that was the case. I have Gary Kennedy looking for me a good one at the Atlanta knife show. I wish I could go.

Those are nice Greg! You have one awsome collection!
Re: Case Tribal Lock question
I have one also, the antique bone handles one with the bomb shield. Slim knife, easy in your pocket, no quality issues. A great EDC lockback.

I like the Tribal Lock and have gifted them to friends. In case you want to pre-shop before the blade show Shepherd Hills has a pretty good selection if you click on the link below:LSS152 wrote:Thanks Greg! I was hoping that was the case.

Jerry that whiskey bone bare head that I just bought has a CV blade also. That's a great looking knife you got for your pastor.
