CASE knives
CASE knives
Does anyone know anything about Case knives? Today I drove an hour to a Case factory outlet to look at some of the collections. Granted, I know nothing about case knives, and I just saw the billboard on the highway. But when I got there, I saw a whole lot of nice looking knives for relatively high prices.
I guess, for show, they are nice. But are Case knives useful at all?
Just wondering what all the hype is about. I'm assuming it's a collector's type knife.
Thanks.

Spyderholic II, its good to see another Hoosier around!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I was just down in Fort Wayne last night. My brother and I went to Glennbrook mall to do a little "mall browsing". We also looked at a few Spydies at the knife shop in there. Great place!
Anyway, great to have you aboard!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Cases are very good knives, and are strong enough to handle any reasonable task thrown at them. While I carry <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> a lot, Case is always in my pocket at school, as a sheeple friendly knife.
The price is a touch high, on average, but it's worth it. You could always visit eknifeworks.com, as they have most Cases cheaper than the factory outlets.
Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

I'm a huge Case fan. I'm going to get a Russlock as soon as possible, because the lever actually rivals the Spydie hole on small knives, and of course, it's made by Case. Man, that knife would be awesome with a clip! Anyway, you won't be dissapointed with a Case knife, and they really aren't that expensive if you compare them to Benchmades and other "dressy" knives. They are also world renowed for their collector's appeal, their CV steel, their quality, and their dot dating system. If you're looking for a good "pocket dropper",IMO Case slipjoints can't be beat, although you might want a locking or fixed blade model for more serious cutting tasks. BTW, you will have a hard time breaking the handles unless you try.
yes i agree with you people that case is good. the only one case i have is the russlock with a vintage bone handle. very pretty. only draw back is that the liner lock is unnaturally large which hurts my index finger during use.
anyone knows why, while most makers opt for small liner locks, the russlock is the opposite?i couldn't think of any reason except it looks good when opened. maybe its because of the blade style?
