I agree there here n there. Heck yes that not bad price. If a guy waits n keeps looking will find them

[@danedwards8535]

Excellent start to Case collecting. Am very excited to see/hear the rest of these videos. Thank you so much .

[@rasputinscastle]

You're welcome, Dan. The videos will have specific information on collecting the different eras that you won't find anywhere else. You might enjoy my Case history videos, too. I have a playlist that has them in it. 🙏

Man you are so right, it is fun finding an old knife in the wilds. Watching Kevin brought that back to me, enjoy yoyr videos! Beautiful Case collection too

[@rasputinscastle]

Thanks, Reggie. The hunt is fun 😁

[@gizmocarr3093]

I like Case knives because they are so many to look at and they have made knives forever. I don't see anyone that could think of having one of every model made,🙂👍

[@rasputinscastle]

If we could only get a collector to show their collection, that would be awesome.

I love that cabernet muskrat with the brass bomb shield!

[@rasputinscastle]

It was a great purchase 👍

[@RandysWSG]

Some fantastic knives!, Those older ones are awesome!

[@rasputinscastle]

Thanks Randy ☺️

[@ebertcombs6610]

That’s a lot of nice stuff there. Love the whaler

[@rasputinscastle]

Thanks brother 🙏

[@swamp.stomper]

Loved the vid. I buy carbon steel Case knives in your modern category. It’s a big limiter in terms of handle materials but it makes the hunt a little more exciting

[@rasputinscastle]

Oh, the pain - pleasure thing. I get it. 👍😃

[@RonaldNorwood-kn4bo]

Love your educational videos. You are very wise and knowledgeable and your opinions are well respected. Collecting vintage Case is like the Mickey Mantle of knife collecting, you best have patience and a fat backside!

[@rasputinscastle]

True enough, brother 👌

[@Stans_Collectors_Universe]

Some really good looking knives. I truly enjoyed the history lesson and your thoughts on the knives and how to pick up some of the older knives at a better price. 148 listed patterns and then variations, that's nuts. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

[@rasputinscastle]

You're welcome Stan. Bless you 🙏

In the mind of American Knife Collectors, I think you are spot on with Case being the most collected USA made knife. But I think the sleeper brand for most collected is probably that pesky intruder out of Ibach, Switzerland. Especially, world wide... I think Victorinox has Case beat. The little Case Jack that you were showing around 13 minutes. (when you were talking about polished blades) The Rough Black- was that the original gum-fuddy. Really good info. Excellent suggestion to get a book about collecting Case knives if you're serious about collecting Case knives! Looking forward to the next installment. I did a similar series about two or three years ago. It also took four episodes. My take on it is , like it or not, when it comes to traditional slip joints, Case is the benchmark brand that all others are compared against. There's also a lot of jealousy that is directed towards Case knives from people who feel their personal favorite brand should be the benchmark. And there is also an almost delusional loyalty among form of the Case fans who refuse to admit that Case knives are not perfect. I kind of split knife based on pre-WWI, the Inter-war years, Post WWII - Vietnam- Post Vietnam-2000, 21st century. I think when it comes to Case I go Pre WWII, Pre-dot, Post dot.

[@rasputinscastle]

@KnifeChatswithTobias yep, you either love them or hate them. Watching all that drama is kinda funny. It is just a knife, right ? 😃😏 thanks for the feedback, brother 🙏

[@kathleensmith370]

Great info and fun to see part of your collection

[@rasputinscastle]

Lot more coming. Stay tuned 😉

[@TimothyCibula-vh5ip]

Very cool I really like 64 and back. They are out there but getting harder to find

[@rasputinscastle]

Yep, I've noticed a big uptick in Case Frankenstein knives. But you can still pick up some oldies. I found that model 79 in a pawn shop in NC. I picked up a 6207 XX red bone for $40 in antique shop in Savanah.

[@Pocket_EDC]

Very informative. There’s a lot to learn when it comes to Case. Thanks brother.

[@rasputinscastle]

148 years.

[@rasputinscastle]

You're welcome, my friend 😊

[@jeffjackson5331]

[@rasputinscastle]

Thanks, Jeff. The interesting stuff is coming! 😊😳

[@jeffjackson5331]

@@rasputinscastle you are very welcome! Cool! You and your have a wonderful day today and a wonderful 4th.

[@mikeadams2538]

My question is: what is your wife going to buy if you pass away first??? 😆😉 Once again, a great tutorial on knives, especially the Case knives. I am just starting to collect them, so I need all of the education I can get! Thanks!

[@rasputinscastle]

Well, she would use it wisely 😏 unlike me. Thanks ☺️
