Got to love traditional knives, its like looking at a really old car...You cant appreciate new knives unless you have some respect for what they use to be...
For me, it's not so much a matter of nostalgia or tradition, but the look and feel of slip joint knives that I like. The visual beauty of the handle materials, the nickel silver bolsters and shields, brass liners and pins, the visible springs, everything is so shiny. And the way it feels to open and close them, what they call walk and talk. My Spyderco and Benchmade knives are far better, more useful and more sensible, but I’m still drawn to traditional knives. They feel better in the hand. Especially Case knives because they’re tumbled, so all the rough edges are removed and they just feel so good.
I've carried either a Case or Old Timer 3 blade ever since my father took me to pick out my first knife... As boys we'd play mumbly peg in the school yard b4 class. Then make sharp sticks out of dull ones after lunch. Still carry a 3 blade Old Timer, never use it, I use a spring assist most of the time, but I'll always carry a pocket knife cause that's what men do ;-) Thanks dad!!!
I just recently got a case hobo from the factory in Bradford pa on a camping trip. Not cheap but Great quality words cannot describe. Truly a heirloom knife manufacture.
I just got a Case Trapper. Cool thing about these traditional folders is that they are very smooth, no clips to scratch your phone in deep pocket carry.
Canoe knives make me think of frontiersmen & indians back in the old mountain west. Also a canoe was my first knife back in the 80s. They're a good example of classic United States.
Your the man Fancy! The scales on slipjoints are called wraps and those are some mighty fine Canoes you got there and that Butterbean is sick! Slipjoints slice so much better than modern folders due to the thin stock the blades are made from.
Ive always loved case knives. Started from my grandfather, hes been a case knife person his whole life. And were pocket knife people. One of the three things I always have on me is a pocket knife, although I'm not into tactical types. Found an old case in a tackle box someone gave me rusted to death. Went at it with some steel wool and remoil and it cleaned up superbly and is still sharp as can be. I'm getting My grandfather one of their navy collectible knives for Christmas.
I’ve got the 03560 baby butter bean black, 00263 canoe, and a 00291 stockman. I got them years ago at Lowe’s on clearance for like $5-$10 each and I love them. They are such great knives.
Ran across this after ordering an amber jigged bone Case Canoe. Still $73.00. Started with an affordable but quality canoe knife made by Queen Cutlery. Had a Barlow in the 60's - 70's. Nice collection.
Still have the scar on my index finger from my first Case knife. My grandad gave it to me and I tried to open a pecan with it while him and my dad were working on one of our Allis-Chalmer 8040s.Between him, my dad, and me we probably have 20 of them bought from 1920's through the late 80's. Think it might be time to run down to the implement store and pick up another one to give dad for Xmas.
Gorgeous little knives. I have a Copperlock in natural staghorn that I've carried since the mid-ninties. It's been my steak-n-potatoes knife ever since.
The trapper, stockman, peanut, canoe are probably the top selling patterns. Personally I prefer the stockman. But now I carry great eastern cutlery knives.
I got a case canoe knife for my hs graduation and carried it all the time. the last time I carried it, the blade closed on my index finger and went straight to the bone. that was the last time I carried a knife without a locking mechanism. I do love the knives for nostalgia, and for special event gifts, definitely not for edc though.
The canoe Knife you showed with the engraved bolsters that was beautiful that’s what my Celtic maze canoe looks like it has beautiful carved bolsters and the handles look similar to that one I wish the back springs were filed
When I was a kid in the mid 70s I always carried a schrade sharp finger everywhere I went,now I carry small case knives for work most of the blades are all straight now from sharpening, but they never fail under hard use.For Christmas my friends and family get a case knife of some sort and they probably hate me for it, but for me they all get a great knife to pass down for generations.
Bought a case bowie at a garage sale for 30 bucks used it for 2 years as a fire wood chopper before I realised it was an expensive collectable knife the handle is still sturdy no blade wobble a few scratches but my god what a nice knife i use it as decoration now but make no doubt it's s working knife that you could use like any other 150$ survival knife.
I went full circle...slip joints then had to have the latest tacticool blades. Now I realize all the tacticool stuff was just a great marketing gimmick, so, I’m back to my Buck and Case lock backs and some other slip joints. Sold the rest.
I just picked up a early 70s camp king imperial in brand new condition, and I also still have my 1970. Boy Scout knife made by Ulster. That also is in primo condition that’s because my dad took it away from me for almost 50 years he gave it back last summer
Love CASE knives. Waiting on my father to hand down my great grandfather's Case toothpick. Lol not the most expensive blade in his collection but most deff the most prized.
I’m picking up a 2004 case canoe Celtic maze addition there was supposedly 500 made of each pattern in the Celtic maze you can find just about most of them but you can’t find a canoe I got very lucky to find this one it just doesn’t have the paperwork so I’m getting in touch with Case and they’re going to try and work some out with the paperwork to prove that the Knife is authentic
I grew up in the 70's and 80's and the gold-standard knife is a Schrade Uncle Henry. That's a man's knife to me. Case traditional folding pocket knives embody what a man should carry. I love scout knives, canoe knives, Uncle Henrys and Old Timers because that's what a man's knife looks like.
I have a few tacticool knives I use for work mainly as box cutters or cutting stretch wrap. I buy the cheapy ones and just use a belt sander to keep them sharp. I don't use my cool case knives at work. My favorite one in your collection is the solid green handle.
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude! Just snagged a used Rem. 870 with M4-type stock and pistol grip and an optical rail for $300 at a local dealer. I know it's got nothing to do with this video, but I watched a bunch of your shotgun videos last week. So when I was at the indoor range I saw a new Mossberg 500 riot gun for $400 and this used Rem. for $300. Haven't shot it yet.
NUTN! What a great review and it's so true! The case knives are classic. Although I will say that I am very willing to carry a classic knife like the case canoe.... although I will always be partial to my Victoranox recruit. ;-)
I shouldn't have watched this vid, as now I must buy a couple of them. Dang you, Lt;Col. NutnF. Always enjoy your vids, regardless of topic. Salute, fellow Veteran.
It’s made in the USA, it’s a high quality knife that kids could have and no one complained that a kid had a pocket knife. Boy Scouts had knifes like this and again most knifes we carried in our pockets as kids were make in the USA. Kids had pocket knifes in their pockets and a .22 over their shoulder and it was normal and we were responsible and no one cared because that was normal as it should be. You could go to school with a Case pocket knife and it was normal and no one cared. We were taught to be responsible and we were. Now people are hyper-sensitive about having a paper clip in your packet. I still have my Case Bowie knife Ricky from IBM
Almost all of my Case are EDCs. I carry 3 knives minimum, one for 'pocket jewelry' (usually a Case, usually a different one each day), one tiny Victorinox Swiss Army with nearly every tool I might need on my keychain, and a nice midsize Spyderco or G. Sekai tactical/work knife which doesn't get rotated out often.
I had the 3 blade Stockman or a camper style knife when I was a kid.Iswitched over to Spyderco I. The early 90s with the Delica,Endura and Snapit.Muchbetter knives.No more broken blades.
I got a small Case for Christmas a few years back, I love it but don't carry it. Too pretty, don't wanna ruin it, and scalpel sharp. I'll use it and later find little nicks on my fingers I didn't realize I had.
At the end of the fifties I was bought my first pocket knife, a two bladed Victorinox. I have had a knife of some kind in my pocket ever since. I like the look of those Case knives, but don’t really like multibladed knives, not very comfortable in heavy use. Currently I always have a Wright lambfoot blade deep in my pocket, I’ve worn three out so far !
I love me a conoe every now and then! As I live 20 Km away from Solingen obviously not a Case, but they really do some good work. Obviously a bit under what GEC Does, but it still super decent! And fo me their handles are even better than GEC, but they are a good bit off on the blades, just not as crispy and way overpolished tips most of the time.
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.
Call me crazy, but I’d love for case to make a knife that had that old school look and feel, but a modern deployment and locking system for easy one had operation. Maybe even a pocket clip. If they had something like that I’d literally buy 2 or 3 in different colors/handles
Id like to find a small game knife modeled after the larger blade, in STOCKMAN style pocket knives. Any idea of something like that anyone? Ive got a old RANGER(made in USA) stockman style in carbon steel, given to me by my grandfather, years ago. Good for small game but sucks to clean being carbon steel, and keeping it from rusting. I usually wash up with hot water and dish soap and let air dry then oil it up. Be nice to find a fixed single blade like the main blade that I use the most. When comes to classic folders, I like the Trapper and Stockman style best.
Only case knife i own is the "Sodcutter Jr." really hard steel. canoe knife is okay. My go to pocket knife of one kind or another has been a Swiss Army for 54 years.

I have a bunch of Case from my grandfather. I have only bought a couple on my own. No hard use, just fun to have because of who owned it before.
Sometimes you just got to appreciate the classics. This is like going to the car show for me.

Fabulous collection!!! I love your passion! I just ordered 2 Canoes by Case!!! 😁
I just got a Case Trapper. Cool thing about these traditional folders is that they are very smooth, no clips to scratch your phone in deep pocket carry.
I have the same amber bone knife with the canoe etching on the blade, and I really like it. Thanks for this video, it made my day.
Ordered that one prior to seeing this video.

Best advice: This can become addicting. Pace yourself!
I collect case knives, mostly trappers and stockman. Always have one on me, great video!
Nothing but Case for me. 5 generations going strong!
My favorite Case has been the Sodbuster Jr., in an amber bone handle. Mine grew legs or something, and warrants replacement.

So excited for this review. I've been waiting for it since the "be a traditional man" video on the case trapper lock.
I got a case canoe knife for my hs graduation and carried it all the time. the last time I carried it, the blade closed on my index finger and went straight to the bone. that was the last time I carried a knife without a locking mechanism. I do love the knives for nostalgia, and for special event gifts, definitely not for edc though.
My autumn bone trapper is one of my favorite knives.
Such a comfort in the pocket pattern. I really like the Barlow myself
The canoe Knife you showed with the engraved bolsters that was beautiful that’s what my Celtic maze canoe looks like it has beautiful carved bolsters and the handles look similar to that one I wish the back springs were filed
Used to go to the Case knife and Zippo lighter factory in Bradford, PA all the time when I was a kid
Beautiful traditional knives for sure.

Same reason why I occasionally carry my seemingly 6 lb buck 110 folder. Works and holds nostalgia. Good vid
Buck makes a light weight version of the 110 2.6 oz i think its a pretty good knife for 20 dollars
@@shawnmurphy5731 will look into it. My kershaw speedsafe plays my usual edc role but shaving a few ounces off the 110 would be nice. Thx
I carried the Sod Buster JR all through the 80s and early 90s. Bought my first lock blade in 1992, it was a Benchmade. Still have both today.
I EDC a Kamp King scout knife. Love that thing.
My first knife I ever owned
I still love and own the old school slip joint knives. Why? It reminds me of my father and my childhood. Not to mention for 2nd cool reasons
What do you know, I was unsucribed... TH-cam is doing it again!
No wonder why I couldn't find your videos
Would love to see a review of the Buck 124 as a user camp bowie knife.
My favorite is the mini trapper . These are what I call traditional knives . They are what I grew up with.

They all have space in the edc drawer. It’s good to have options. -doodle
I just picked up a early 70s camp king imperial in brand new condition, and I also still have my 1970. Boy Scout knife made by Ulster. That also is in primo condition that’s because my dad took it away from me for almost 50 years he gave it back last summer
Love CASE knives. Waiting on my father to hand down my great grandfather's Case toothpick. Lol not the most expensive blade in his collection but most deff the most prized.
Beautifull traditionals ! Nice !!
I’m picking up a 2004 case canoe Celtic maze addition there was supposedly 500 made of each pattern in the Celtic maze you can find just about most of them but you can’t find a canoe I got very lucky to find this one it just doesn’t have the paperwork so I’m getting in touch with Case and they’re going to try and work some out with the paperwork to prove that the Knife is authentic
Let me ask this. Why do some of the cakes have a picture of a canoe and some don't. Any answers to that?
I grew up in the 70's and 80's and the gold-standard knife is a Schrade Uncle Henry. That's a man's knife to me. Case traditional folding pocket knives embody what a man should carry. I love scout knives, canoe knives, Uncle Henrys and Old Timers because that's what a man's knife looks like.
Love CV steel
Classic. Great review. Thanks.

Lost a case knife my grandfather gave me and have been looking to replace it for years.
I have a few tacticool knives I use for work mainly as box cutters or cutting stretch wrap. I buy the cheapy ones and just use a belt sander to keep them sharp.
I don't use my cool case knives at work.
My favorite one in your collection is the solid green handle.
That 1 of 3000 green canoe looks to have 8 dots left making it a 2012
I recently picked up the Taurus G3 and it performed amazingly you should check it out and do a review on it
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude! Just snagged a used Rem. 870 with M4-type stock and pistol grip and an optical rail for $300 at a local dealer. I know it's got nothing to do with this video, but I watched a bunch of your shotgun videos last week. So when I was at the indoor range I saw a new Mossberg 500 riot gun for $400 and this used Rem. for $300. Haven't shot it yet.
Great video harvest orange 🍊 classic 🇺🇸
NUTN! What a great review and it's so true! The case knives are classic. Although I will say that I am very willing to carry a classic knife like the case canoe.... although I will always be partial to my Victoranox recruit. ;-)
Good video thanks Nutn!
I shouldn't have watched this vid, as now I must buy a couple of them. Dang you, Lt;Col. NutnF. Always enjoy your vids, regardless of topic. Salute, fellow Veteran.
It’s made in the USA, it’s a high quality knife that kids could have and no one complained that a kid had a pocket knife. Boy Scouts had knifes like this and again most knifes we carried in our pockets as kids were make in the USA. Kids had pocket knifes in their pockets and a .22 over their shoulder and it was normal and we were responsible and no one cared because that was normal as it should be.
You could go to school with a Case pocket knife and it was normal and no one cared.
We were taught to be responsible and we were. Now people are hyper-sensitive about having a paper clip in your packet.
I still have my Case Bowie knife
Ricky from IBM
I bought the trapper lock when you reviewed it and I still have to send it back cause it came with a inconsistent sharpened angle.
When did it become Casexx? I have a few from my grandfathers day, only one has the CaseXX, all the others are just Case.
Almost all of my Case are EDCs. I carry 3 knives minimum, one for 'pocket jewelry' (usually a Case, usually a different one each day), one tiny Victorinox Swiss Army with nearly every tool I might need on my keychain, and a nice midsize Spyderco or G. Sekai tactical/work knife which doesn't get rotated out often.
I had the 3 blade Stockman or a camper style knife when I was a kid.Iswitched over to Spyderco I. The early 90s with the Delica,Endura and Snapit.Muchbetter knives.No more broken blades.
Funny how the older you get the more you gravitate toward things that work.edc for myself never be worth anything to many collectors🇺🇸👌
The Cheetah is my favourite. 👍
I have tons of knives but like to use the case canoe as an edc. Not sure why but it's just a nice blade shape.
can you canoe ? got mine at True Value Hardware.... in days gone by these were EDC... always beautiful and made in USA.... y'all should check em out
USA victorinox on minimals?
You can’t buy just one they are a must have for any knife fan
I got a small Case for Christmas a few years back, I love it but don't carry it. Too pretty, don't wanna ruin it, and scalpel sharp. I'll use it and later find little nicks on my fingers I didn't realize I had.
I’d like to take this “First!” opportunity to request a review of the Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm. Thanks for all the hard work Nutn. Keep it real.
Copy. Did you buy one already? Thanks for all the support by the way I really appreciate it
I love case trappers
a good test recently showed the CV doesnt really hold much less of an edge compared to the CV.
At the end of the fifties I was bought my first pocket knife, a two bladed Victorinox. I have had a knife of some kind in my pocket ever since. I like the look of those Case knives, but don’t really like multibladed knives, not very comfortable in heavy use. Currently I always have a Wright lambfoot blade deep in my pocket, I’ve worn three out so far !
China makes a great Case canoe knock off. It's marketed by Rough Rider. Goes for about $14.00
Steel warrior knives are made in China and my $16 trapper is similar to my case. I use my Chinese knife but keep my case in a drawer-lol
My weakness is for Case mini-stockman knives. I have a few dozen different handles.
Can you do it Taurus G3 review please please please please please
I love me a conoe every now and then!
As I live 20 Km away from Solingen obviously not a Case, but they really do some good work. Obviously a bit under what GEC Does, but it still super decent! And fo me their handles are even better than GEC, but they are a good bit off on the blades, just not as crispy and way overpolished tips most of the time.
HELL YEAH NUTN! TRADITIONAL KNIVES ARE DOPE AS STEPPED ON COKE!
What is ATC?
I'll never buy a case knife again. Bought a 130$ 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.
I wish Case would made more handle styles in CV steel. I think that is amber bone, not chestnut bone.
Call me crazy, but I’d love for case to make a knife that had that old school look and feel, but a modern deployment and locking system for easy one had operation. Maybe even a pocket clip. If they had something like that I’d literally buy 2 or 3 in different colors/handles
I think of fishing or a tackle box knife when I see these knives
I love Canoes!!!
Those are cool... what kid didn't grow up with a buck (or similar) pocket knife?
Id like to find a small game knife modeled after the larger blade, in STOCKMAN style pocket knives. Any idea of something like that anyone? Ive got a old RANGER(made in USA) stockman style in carbon steel, given to me by my grandfather, years ago. Good for small game but sucks to clean being carbon steel, and keeping it from rusting. I usually wash up with hot water and dish soap and let air dry then oil it up. Be nice to find a fixed single blade like the main blade that I use the most. When comes to classic folders, I like the Trapper and Stockman style best.
Still popular because every guy my age remembers his grandfather always had one.
Let's see some more gun reviews
I don't have any Case Knives. They are beautiful and too expensive for me. I do have a few pocket knives from S&W & Schrade.
Very interesting
Only case knife i own is the "Sodcutter Jr." really hard steel. canoe knife is okay. My go to pocket knife of one kind or another has been a Swiss Army for 54 years.
Jeff Wise sod buster is the correct name the original Tatical blade
My favorite pocket knife is my shrade that was made in america, not any more sadly, japan is the owner of the shrade brand now
Sow Belly Stockman baby!
