Like you I love the Case brand, but for the price, they need to take more time on QC. Dadgum, when Rough Rider for under 20bucks is kicking butt on the #1 US pocket knife, come on CASE. Pay attention to your customers!

I used dye on a tabletop to get it riley black couldn't find a wood stain dark enough worked absolutely grate

I want this knife

John this didnt really work for me. Maybe im not being aggresive enough or im not doing it long enough. I will try some more. Im guessing it will work or you wouldn't have ever made this video😂 thanks again for sharing.

Good improvement to the knife. I am impressed that you were able together the blade back to the center.

I like the Bear & Son Barlow, I like Case, I think it's just a personal preference.

I’ll give it a try, too. Great information. I have several of the newer Case knives with that problem.

Awesome tip brother! Great video!

I've got Case knives from the 70's and up. Even the 70's knives aren't GEC quality on the finish. They're better than the modern models, but Case has never really made GEC quality knives and the prices reflect that. With GEC and now China pumping out very high quality knives, Case does need to step it up.

Check your email my friend.I ❤️ the SHARK👍🇺🇸

I think case is more betters

I love seeing a used knife that shows its history, like how this one was a safety award. It really adds to the experience to know more about where an item came from.

Pretty sweet deal. Not a fan of honking blade etches either, but the shark looks ok. Came out way good. Very cool John.👍🇺🇲

What is it???

Sweet knife! Thanks for the video!

That was one cool safety award from that company. That Case eraser was amazing, haven’t heard of anything like that

Just became sub, caught a couple on your older video, I especially liked CASE vs Others. I am a big Case fan, I do have Mako's big brother the Hammerhead. Nice knife.

that's a beaut for sure!

Very good review to bring a used knife to full function after having been ignored.

Actually,that is a 33 OT..Oh Tee..,stands for Old Timer

I like any knife with a Shark on the blade. Very cool.

Absolutely awesome looking knife. I love the case maco

Thanks for the demonstration!

5:00 that is surprising how quickly it got black, I must have some junk polish 😂 Cool knife, I’ve never seen the Case Mako model before. Thanks for the video.

Those are beautiful blades! Thoughts about case richlite copperlock?

Hey brother, can I send you some off-centered knives?

Cactus Jigged Bone is a perfect name. Is one Angry Kid Food safe? I use most of my Traditional knives in the kitchen for food prep. I was thinking about using Food grade Mineral oil on all my knives but some people question its toxicity. Also Have you ever used Alcohol based Leather dye like Fiebing's Their British Tan seems to be a very close match to the brown in R.R. Cinnamon Stag Bone series. I use Fiebing's to stain wood often as well as Bingo Markers which are water base. Bingo Markers might also work well on Bone Knife scales with out having to heat the dye up first. Any way, Thank you for showing your process. Glad I subscribed.

Ok, I just stopped the video and tried this several times with my Rough Ryder Bow Trapper and it did not work. There is a bit of play in the main blade in half stop position. Can there be a different issue and maybe a different fix to the blade centering issue?

That Case Gunstock is a beauty! I need to buy one of those! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your insightful views on knives. You mention centering the large blade on this gunstock trapper; I have a Schrade trapper that I bought used with a Spey blade that closes on the outside liner. How can I correct this condition?

They're just tuff great knife ive own mine for about a year now still very stiff not a problem for me cuts everything well thanks

Man love case brotha

Like everything but those green scales! Prefer amber or the more traditional shades. Glad Case is still made in U.S.A.! Enjoy, Blsgs, gg

That's a great tip, man! I'll definitely keep that one in mind. Thanks!😃👍🏻

John, How’d you get the blade to look like that? Got a video on it?

Thank you for the great info. Gonna try it.

Cool 😎

Great video !!!

Thanks for sharing the outcome of your research. And the tour… My wife and I have been retired eight years now .. Watched a lot of cheap RV, living videos .. hundreds of those and others. So far, we keep borrowing an old REI tent that we ‘ gave ‘ to our youngest daughter(because we’re gonna have an RV)… just can’t seem to settle on one. ,, we need something that’s just basic and small. For weekend outings to Bluegrass get togethers .. something that can support a couple good size awnings. Basic necessities… ( Shower and toilet). Will probably still be looking 20 years from now lol . Keep up the great work on your channel. I sure enjoy watching.

I love the SAK Tinkler. I bought a bunch of them with Smoky Mountain knife Works has sale something like 4 or five years ago. ( maybe more because I’ve slept since then.) I know I’m late to the party … but the unique word Tinkler got me ha ha .. just doing a little recuperating after total knee… getting caught up on a lot of old videos.. keep up the good work, John. Oh cool thing about those Swiss Army knives you can swap handles easy… so there’s an aftermarket for that… but like I live here in Georgia lots of bulldog fans.. so with buying an equal amount of black and red knives I bought ;swapped Half of their handles to make some unique bulldog knives. Black and red colors… hey I’m a simple guy. I do simple projects…. But I try to do those projects well . I was known as Mr. clean at work ( elevator service tech / mechanic) My machine rooms were show places. Even if I did service call on another guys job I would clean the area. I was working at , like a car top door operator … n routine it . Instead of hurry up n hit the coffee shop. My personal cars ( wife’s n chevy regular cab short beds that daughters used h/s and college ) were always looking good ….always waxed .( cheap price for them to use it)… Simple guy simple jobs.. great reward. Love great tools like the tinkler. Years ago, I helped a son-in-law when I first retired , With restoring his great grandfathers, gardening tools, and some hand tools… Great experience for both of us. The use of a ‘tool’ doing something positive … with your hands … ( I hesitate to say mind also… I seem to go on auto pilot when I start working with my hands… it almost becomes like breathing.. Second nature-automatic). So I like planting seeds by giving knives .. and like I said, the tinkers were good one! And if I have a chance to give a second knife, I have a drawer full of Becker Escabars. N others. Three son in laws got / get Tools like floor jacks and Good two wheel wheelbarrels for birthdays, and Christmas. I guess they know I’m trying to tell them:’ get to work.’ Ha ha . No they are good guys. Ok 2 cups of coffee is one cup too many for me.. if you read this far thanks for putting up with my rambling.

I NEEDED THIS!!! Thank you John !

Awesome tip. Fantastic knife oil and strop in your store. Thank you very much for sharing. Have a fantastic day today

Nice tip! Thanks for sharing this. 👍

Hey John just got me a full size sod buster in SS. I have had a yellow synthetic sod buster Jr in CV for many years and even though it had unevenly ground scales right out the box I have been very happy with it. But this new one, how has it disappointed, let me count the ways. Light scratches on the back spring and scales, a blade spine so sharp I had to round it with a ceramic rod just to use it, an overly ground tip that created a chisel point, an tang that is stone washed on one side and has grind lines on the other, and yes unevenly ground scales. What are they drinking up in Bradford PA. I don't think I am buying another Case unless I can hold it in my hand before purchase. Corporate greed strikes again, what a shame.

I just got an orange spitfire and it was stiff like yours. I took it apart and founds burrs just like yours. I filed them down and lubed it up. It works so much better! Thanks for making this video and showing how to fix the issue. 👍👊

Hey John I've been collecting knives since I was 10 but that's the first time I have ever seen that trick. I'll be giving it try. Thanks

👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you John! I will try that!!

Looks great 👍

Good video my knife loving bro of another MO... 🤔😀But in reality, why is a knife leaving Case Factories with crooked blades, spine gaps, blades loose and wobbling???... This just pisses me off... Case just needs to get their $hit together... Just horrible... I'm sic about this...
