NEW Case Knives | SHOT Show 2020

[@normanwilkinson2042]

I’m 70 years old, been carrying Case knives since I was 10, my father and grand father both carried Case all their lives. I’ve got about 40 Grandaddy Barlows 15 single blade Hunters and 20 double blade Hunters, 15 Stockman knives, all made before 1940. I’ve had buck knives, but you just can’t beat a Case. All mine are double XX or ten dot. If you have a Case that starts to rust, you need to clean it with some bin ami, and then oil it once in a while, because it’s a carbon steel blade, not stainless

[@joshthomas4438]

I am glad reading your comment I’m getting my 10 year old son his first case knife this Christmas. I’m thinking a 3inch lock back for his first knife

[@bradoly100]

Maury is just a cool dude and great ambassador for Case... I hope we can get another Banter with him in the future. The last one is still one of my favorites.

[@danemain7859]

My Case wicked purple Kickstart and blue pearl stockman are on the way from BHQ!!!! First traditional since the one my grandpa gave me as a kid. I'm excited.

[@bobitobob3453]

Why do I keep watching these shot shows? I want everything 😂😭

[@mortuus4601]

OH stop

[@MJ-tz6rs]

My grandfather carried a small pocket knife until his passing at 85years old. I personally never looked twice at a traditional style until I saw a case trapper today at the knife shop. Picked it up and have been admiring it all day. Grandad may have been onto something after all.

[@guycalgary7800]

The Case ranchman is in my lineup of 3 EDC knives , Buck 110 slim and CRKT M-16 Tonto. It’s an amazing knife and it reminds me of my grandfathers knife and that’s why I carry it .

[@Baasicstuff]

3:30 Agree, very good point, not many would point that out other than me I thought. Fun when someone points out good stuff, impressive

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

Love my Case medium Stockman and my Case Trapper. When I was a kid, all the old men I knew had Case knives. I loved those knives then and still love them.

[@leonidaslantz5249]

I really like Case.The knives are affordable, functional and the company supports good causes and for high end products there are the Bose and Winkler collaborations. Good on Case.

[@aballer18]

Case is my first love thanks to an older guy I worked with when I was 18 that gave me a tiny trapper, just cause. Maury is such an outstanding rep!

[@xxEmmankunnArt]

there's something on Case Knives that speaks so gentlemanly on their knives....

[@thingswecarry7564]

9:03 The Lanny's Clip is my all time favorite traditional knife pattern and I wish Case made more knives of this style. Single blade, single bolster, lockback, that's really popular right now.

[@basslife7997]

I have a mini copper lock and I use it all the time. I’m not sure what steel they use but it gets crazy sharp

[@taxidermist4]

I carry my case knife everyday and I hope to for many more years. I just bought my son his first case knife because for years he's asked for one just like I carry.

[@lauro195]

That axe is incredible good lord

[@3wheelmannc860]

Thin Green Line !!!!!!!!! When / Where are these available?

[@slowguy66]

I wish case would bring back the automatic knives, some of them are so rare now none of my knife books even have pictures of them.

[@jamesmurray6348]

Case is the American classic pocket knives maker. If yur a collector of knives you've got a case in your collection.

[@thechad7803]

James Murray maybe if you’re a collector over 50. I’d say one out of every 15 collections I see actually have a Case in it. Seems like they’re greatly exaggerating the importance of Case in today’s knife community

[@jamesmurray6348]

Not so. I'm 40 and know other collectors younger than me who've got great knife collections. Which they all have a case in it.

[@thechad7803]

James Murray ok that’s fine. Just not what I see in the communities I frequent. Case isn’t exactly in demand with so many better options out there

[@jasond1245]

Love case collect and use them would love to see a 3v or 20cv

[@Mwootey316]

I can't imagine using a slippie hard enough to feel like I would need 3v and I use the hell out of my blades. Unless you just want it for the sake of it in which case by all means proceed lol.

[@jasond1245]

@@Mwootey316 well I can had ton of blades break under pressure

[@EDCandLace]

What would you want 3v on a knife like this for? The blades so thin would wouldn't gain a ton in toughness with a steel like that and it's a non locking knife so what are you going to be using a knife like this for to where 3v would benefit you? That knife wouldn't sell well I do not believe as no one sees a non locking trapper as a hard use knife lol to need a super tough steel like that... Now what I could see making people simp over is one in K390 at 65-67hrc as you would literally never have to Sharpen it and they could charge a premium for it or make them with S30v/S35vn to give a huge steel upgrade over their normal steel without having to double the price of the knife (S30V is a very workable steel and wouldn't drastically increase manufacturing time/cost but would be a huge upgrade to the end user who I wouldn't think would have an issue with a 25-30% cost increase) CTS-XHP would be a excellent steel upgrade as well... Hell even CTS-BD1N would be a huge upgrade over their normal steel. If I could get a large case trapper in S30v/S35vn or CTS XHP and it was priced 40 to 50% more then a normal trapper I would buy two as soon as they was released. If I could get one in K390 that was heat treated to 65-67hrc I would happily pay double and order two at release. I do not like their stock steel, I don't like the way it feels on the stones no matter the type of stones your using. The steel doesn't give good feed back making it harder to keep a perfect bevel, it doesn't take a super fine edge (I don't expect it to take as fine of an edge as Powdered metals take but I expect it to take an edge like 12c27/14c28n/N690 etc etc and it doesn't. The grain structure is very large in their stock steels) and it deff don't hold that edge very good. It's fine edge holding ability is very little (about like a decently HT'ed 420) and it's working edge holding ability is not very respectable neither but they continue to still cut because of the super thin blade geometry so that covers up a lot of how poor the edge retention is. Case really needs to give us a high performance steel option, I would be really happy with even a well done 154cm and really happy if it was CPM-154. Now another idea that I have that they really should think about, simply use 12c27 or 14c28n Sandvik as their stock blade steel and everyone will be happy and it's still a budget friendly steel that is easy to work and will VASTLY out preform their normal steel and I mean VASTLY. Give us 14c28n HTed to 59-61hrc and increase cost 15-20% and people will be so happy with your knives and the performance they will give. As it stands Rough Ryder VG10 series at half the cost or less is superior in edge retention then Case steel by a fair margin. When your getting beat by half assed VG10 your steel is not up to snuff. RRs VG10 edge retention is damn near twice as good as cases normal steel, feels better on the stones (gives decent feed back) and takes a much finer edge.

[@Richard-1776]

I don’t even want my knifes too sharp because I play with them, I don’t cut stuff, except my skin.

[@drameday]

I have a Case passed down to me from my grandpa, and will keep it till I die. But I just can’t get excited about this style of knife. Besides the scale materials they all look the same to me. The only Case knife I’ve ever really liked is the collaboration they did with Southern Grind last year. The rest just look like my grandpa’s old knife to me.

[@BladeWalker77]

Case knives are really fascinating

[@Richard-1776]

I need to start buying some of these. I love the colors. They’d be fun to collect. Without a clip, I’d surely lose them. They are so cool though.

[@randyblackburn9765]

CASE should pin their shields or drop them all together. If you are going to put a knife away to look at occasionally in a collection then ok . I will sharpen and carry any knife I own if I can't use it then it may as well have blades made from beer cans. I've pinned case knives myself, nothing uglys up a quality knife like a damn hole where the shield should be. Super glue is like Velcro it has its place . I have seen Case knives in the stores display case missing a shield and find it laying in the bottom of the display. I would gladly pay 5 or 10 bucks extra for pinned shields.

[@The4cp]

I admit I was not a fan of traditional knives, the Case trapper changed that.

[@lindenarden667]

Disappointed with fit and finish last 2 Case knives. Returned both. They look great but I use mine so when the bolsters aren't flush the hotspots make it uncomfortable to use.

[@stever8776]

Hope customer Service takes care of that. You are correct on how they should be finished. Someone doing final inspections needs to be retrained or given more time to inspect each knife more thoroughly!! Once you disappoint a customer, you also loose the Customer's friends! Good Luck Cheers

[@lindenarden667]

@@stever8776 I returned with no trouble, thank you. Case was the brand my Gfather & uncles aspired to- but never bought. To hear them talk - Excaliber was made by Case &Son!

Out of curiosity, do they blunt the knives at shot show? I know they mess with the firing pins on firearms, so was curious if they did anything to the blades

[@noahkladivo3752]

I saw one knife with a marking saying unsharpened on one of the other shot show 2020 BHQ vids.

[@framusburns-hagstromiii808]

Well I have never had a new Case knife that was actually sharp out of the box. Sloppy uneven grinds seem to be the norm , from the stuff I have seen lately. See a lot of their stuff with gaps and sloppy construction. Also they absolutely never put an actual point on their blades because of the way the blades are made..fer Petes sake ..a knife blade should have a point that's actually pointy! I'm done with them .

[@FogCityDude]

Nice. Keep the videos coming.

[@pspadotto]

Apparently Pantone picked a blue as "the color of 2020" I believe it's more grayish than what we've seen from SHOT this year, but that said, everyone from Ben to Case has a blue pattern this year. Coincidence?

[@neuvocastezero1838]

I own an older case knife that was handed down to me, and I think they're cool, stylish and classy, but I don't understand the choice of blades on their 2 blade folders. For utility, why have 2 blades that are so similar? If you only have 2 blades, wouldn't you want 1 with a straight edge and the other with serration, or a screwdriver or an auger or...anything? The subtle differences in blade shapes may be pretty, but it limits the breadth of utility. That is one nice looking hatchet though.

[@janetowens7288]

If you could do something about your awful lack of quality control then you could have something to smile about. Still buy case knives 45 to 50 over the last few years, but only if I can inspect it in the store.

Couldn't agree more, or 14c28n... One of the two and a case trapper would be in my pocket as a more people friendly back up. Add 15-20% to the cost and give us 154cm or 14c28n and us "knife people" would be intrigued right out of our money.

Got to admit that except for the Tony Bos Lany's Clip, there is nothing exciting from Case on the table. Considering the revival of modern traditionals, this is disappointing from Case, who could be leading the way in the modern interpretation of the pocket knife. I guess companies like Civivi and Boker will have to carry the torch? Is this what happens when a cigarette lighter company buys out a knife company?

It's a stupid program. People want barlows, why not sell them? And they don't give their CV steel a chance. I would own a lot more case knives if they would just use that old school carbon steel. And they put stainless springs with the cv so it looks a bit off. I love my cv case knives, but they don't cater enough to tradition. I guess people want shiny safe queens....

[@garethbaus5471]

Definitely agree on the CV, I have looked at so many knives I would have definitely bought in CV, but they simply didn't have it or if they did it was only in yellow plastic, yellow plastic isn't a bad material I have tried a little scrimshaw with it and it works great for that plus it is cheap in durable, but I don't want 10 knives with the same yellow covers.
