@Trapper Scout - As much as I like lock backs , a Case barlow , trapper and Old Hickory butcher knife have field dressed and processed more deer , elk , moose than I can remember .
Best review you have ever done. Many memories of my dad and grandpa. Thank you ill be looking at getting a case knife again instead of all these tactical knives.
Love my CASE Medium Stockman. Always in my pocket and used nearly every day. My tackle box is home to my Swiss Army I bought 30 years ago. In my opinion they are an unbeatable duo. Love them both. Great video 👍
I love Case knives. My Dad carried one everyday, usually a Stockman. I carried a Sodbuster when I was a teenager then for a dress pants knife I loved the Slimline Trapper. They are just a classy knife. For field dressing I used a Schrade Old Timer Sharpfinger with a gut hook, back when I was able to hunt. Many years ago, an officer of the Secretary of State Police gave me a Kershaw Scallion and my edc has been a Kershaw of some sort ever since. Their Speedsafe opening mechanism was the first that I was aware of and they are razor sharp out of the box. I’ve learned a lot over the years and one thing is While I’d rather not lose any knife, I’d rather lose a $25 Kershaw than a $125 Case. Also, never use a knife as a screwdriver and never use one to pry with except staples out of paper. Keep a low profile folks. Sensible Prepper, I love your channel.
I bought the XX Changer as a retirement gift to myself, got the gut hook with it. It’s a great knife 👍👍 I didn’t know about the hobo ! I’ll have to round up one of those! Thanks for sharing.
I have been buying Case Knives for a least fifty years. Not that I don't have others but I have never been disappointed with the Case brand knives. Great review 👍👍😎
I was 12 and worked all summer looking at a large texas tooth pick in the hardware store and it became my first knife for father's day my wife just bought me a stag trapper I'm 55 now and I want to collect all of them
My absolute favorite knife is a Case 3 blade with Wooly Mammoth Tusks scales. The box insert says the tusks are fossilized and came from Siberia Russia and it is a limited addition. My wife gave it to me for our 20th wedding anniversary a few years back. She hit a home run with this one. Beautiful knife.
I love Old Timmer knives. I also like Case knives too. Thanks for showing these awesome knives Sootch00. I really like that Trapper Case knife the most !!!!!! As always long live the republic my friend
I need to get an exhanger, but i have the same hobo and a couple of trappers. The trappers are allright but i really prefer them when hunting. Now for everyday carry I can always be found with a stockman in the 3.5" to 4.25" range. Three different blades is hard to beat especially when you also carry a fourth modern folder.
There were many knife makers in the new England area just after the columnists started fighting the British, to get them to leave. After the war, they went on to make quality flatware. I prefer the Camilus and Imperial knives since they are considered the oldest in the USA. My favourite knife is the stockman.When I was a BoyScout, I carried a hobo knife, since I used most of the blades when backpacking, especially the fork & spoon! My latest acquisition is a Sabre stockman with a bone handle, made in the 1960s, that I keep in my classic 1963 GT car.
Case knives are made in Bradford, Pennsylvania. There are two other knife manufacturers in northwest PA, in Titusville: Queen knives and Great Eastern Cutlery. Then there is Channelock in Meadville. Fine crafted knives and tool made in USA.
I've carried Case knives of various types for over 50 years! You just can't beat them for quality. They are the gold standard as far as I'm concerned! They aren't cheap but quality never is. Sam Adler
I'll never buy a case knife again. Bought a 130$ collector's edition knife for my grandfather as a Christmas gift. It had a quarter inch unpolished finish on the blade with the engraving.. three week response time. Customer service was completely incompetent. And the worst part is I've loved cause cutlery for years, have over a dozen. And this experience has completely ruined my perception of both the products and the company.
Well now i want a Hobo too! I have often wondered why everyone is carrying these one bladed knives these days? I have a few and i get it. I cut nothing with them, they stay sharp for self defense. I carry a case stockman in my pocket, it has three blades and i cut everything with it and resharpen when needed. I also carry a couple of small multi tools as well. I have plenty of small blades. I never use my tactical one, I have never needed to yet. If you want to one up the stockman, get a congress.
I was a huge fan of Gerber knives until I found out they were no longer made in America. Case is around the same price point and still made in America.
I love case and have a number of them in my assortment of traditional users, traditional knives are the only way to go with me ( these are the traditional knives, not those modern ones ) I've had a Texas jack in amber jigged bone and CV in my pocket every day for the past few months and it's been one of my most carried this year. Their trappers are nice but I don't do two blade trappers, I've gotta have one blade that's shorter than the other. The only major complaint many have about Case is the fact that she shields are glued on instead of pinned, but it doesn't bother me and I have yet to get a bad knife and I rarely inspect them in person. My only real complaint is thst they don't offer everything I every handle material and blade steel and blade finish. I'd love a Slimline trapper In amber jigged and CV blades, but it's also don't prefer the looks of the mirrored blades and would like them I as ground.
I've been buying and carrying Case knives since high school around 1986 I like the carbon steel the best, are they new or the latest super steel edc no they are great pockets knives made in USA.
my brother has a sod buster xx with a chrome vanadium blade and you can't pry it from his hands.he swears by it and that says alot since he has atleast a dozen knives of different brands. case is still his favoret.
When i grew up these where called either army knives Swiss army knives multi tools or sometimes russian knives idk why i dont even think there from russia
I have a Case Jigged bone handled “Trapper” that I bought in the mid nineties. During that period of time the company was “I think” having internal problem and it shows in the fit and finish of my knife. Gee I wish I could show y’all how poor the build quality if. The blades are decent but the build is just not up to snuff.
Victor it’s about keeping a tradition alive, personally I love traditional knives. I like things made out of natural materials. I’m not really that crazy about the synthetic handles on some of these case knives either
What do you do that requires a lock? I used to think a lock was mandatory but been using slip joints for 7+years or so now and have yet to have one snap on my fingers. If you actually hold it at the choil you reinforce it open and you can feel If it starts folding. Imo you only need a lock if you stab stuff real hard.
As you can tell by my name, the trapper is my favorite traditional knife pattern. I carry one every day and sometimes a barlow.
I've been carry the Trapper now ever since I made the video. Great choice. Thanks Brother
@@SensiblePrepper If you ever decide to take up hunting again, the thinness of the blades make an excellent de-boning knife.

Just a excellent video on Case knives are the best you could buy 💯👍

Michael Hargis what do you use it for?
I have about a dozen Case XX knives. Some are models I acquired in the 1960's.
I love these old fashioned knives. Just a good well made gentleman’s pocket-knife..very classy. A nice change in a world of tactical gear.
You did the best reviews brother. Thanks for your hard work and honest opinion. Been collecting case knives for 25 years
Thanks for another great video review! Also thanks for taking the time to do this review!
I do love my knives. I carry them in my 👛.Thank you 😊.
Always love case knives and also camp utensil spoon fork combos. Perfect together for ever.

Recently bought the Hobo it’s well made and I believe it will bring years of enjoyment.
Sod Busters are probably the best knives I ever used. Simple design easy to use.
I have one & never knew that it came apart! WOW! Gonna go try it! LOL!
Thanks for the perfectly timed video. I've been looking for a new knife for this hunting season.

I always enjoy your reviews.
You got a new subscriber here! Don't know what took me so long. I love you videos; to the point, no long BS monologues. Keep up the great work!

"The quality, the fit and finish with case is just unparalleled with these traditional knives."
GEC: "Bitch please!"
Case xx will be here when gec is a memory.
@@ricktempleton3107 My money is on that both will be gone by 2050.
I only carry a Case knife for my EDC and a bonus is you pull one of these knives in public to use nobody freaks out.
just bought the case Hobo, thanks
I carry a Buck 110 and a Case Russlock . Wouldn't be caught dead without either . Great video!!!

I just ordered a gut hook blade for my xxchanger. 25.00 shipped.
I really like the features of the hobo knife
I've had the Case xxchange set with the gut hook since 1976, also have the Gerber set very similar but thinner.
On the xx changer they should make a spoon and fork for it that would be neat
Love my Case Knives. I have 3 or 4.
I have the "XX CHANGER" my wife bought it for me for X-mas when they first came out, it is my deer hunting knife, you can figure out why.
I’ve about 8 Case knives, large, small, cv, ss, smart, workman like, but all great!
From my understanding the brass looking ends on the changer (also seen in other knives such as buck, old timer, ect) are for striking flint.
Excellent review and video . Thanks very much .
Sadly the xxchanger is discontinued. Glad I got one
Bought my xx changer when they first came out I live maybe 20 minutes from zippo/case
Great Video. Thanks so much.
those were pretty cool knives you had sootch. good job on the video.
I have alot of them but not the Hobo knife and I wanted one for a long time.

My mini case stockman is my favorite out of all my case knives it’s a 7333 I have 7 case varieties, not to mention my flippers or speedsafe’s lol
Don I have a 15 year collection of case knives every year I get a case knive / I do not have that hobo knife but I'm needing this one for camping
I was a huge fan of Gerber knives until I found out they were no longer made in America. Case is around the same price point and still made in America.
Thank you.
I like that case Hobo knife a lot Sootch nice one ATB
I have 20+ case knives. 2 butcher knives from the late 1800.I have a 5 x maco shark tooth.
gr8 video man
Does the Case hobo with spoon knife and fork and the Case exchanger come in stag

"Good quality in the field is going to last you"...I agree. Long live the Republic.
PVC for survival situations, let’s check it out
Any juicers?
Case are very fine gentlemen's pocket knife. That's all I got.
When i grew up these where called either army knives Swiss army knives multi tools or sometimes russian knives idk why i dont even think there from russia
They still messed up on the hobo model because they didn't include a can opener 😐.
I like my Case knives but they don't care about blade centering. You need to kink the blades yourself and then fix the bladeplay it causes.
us hobos take pride in are gear
Would you trust your life to case
I have a Case Jigged bone handled “Trapper” that I bought in the mid nineties. During that period of time the company was “I think” having internal problem and it shows in the fit and finish of my knife. Gee I wish I could show y’all how poor the build quality if. The blades are decent but the build is just not up to snuff.
American made !
That's bone stag
I don’t judge the quality of the knife. I do think they’re overpriced and truly believe my Swiss Army knife blows it away.
Can't go wrong with Victorinox
Not lefty friendly , Hobo knife 😥
Huge gap in between spring and liner hahahaha trappers and pelts and half ass google search
😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👶
This is a giant step backwards. I would never buy a knife without a lock open feature and requires two hands to open.
Victor it’s about keeping a tradition alive, personally I love traditional knives. I like things made out of natural materials. I’m not really that crazy about the synthetic handles on some of these case knives either
They are just pocket knifes. That's about all you can say for them.
What do you do that requires a lock? I used to think a lock was mandatory but been using slip joints for 7+years or so now and have yet to have one snap on my fingers. If you actually hold it at the choil you reinforce it open and you can feel If it starts folding. Imo you only need a lock if you stab stuff real hard.
