New Case Knife Today

[foakes]

Generally, I buy a couple of knives a month —

8 months go, I lost a little Case Camo Lockback out in the Mojave Desert when camping.

Looked everywhere — so, hopefully someone else is enjoying it.

Decided to just order another — since these are nearly bullet-proof.  

Zytel scales, SS, lockback, 3", Case XX, Made in the USA, Lifetime Guarantee, only weighs 7/10's of an ounce, spear point.

Ordered from Blade HQ — $17.99 + tax + $2.99 shipping.

I like lockbacks because they won't fold up on you when using them.

This is a good value.

Best, Fred

Should have bought the safety orange one. Easier to find in the desert ... ;-)

Cool

Should have bought the safety orange one. Easter to find in the desert ... ;-)

Cool

                I am surprised he didn't have a metal detector in the camper !

Actually, I did have a quality metal detector (Garrett) on board — but did not realize the knife was missing until a couple of weeks later.

Then after 3 or 4 months of looking everywhere in the truck, trailer, clothing, gear boxes — finally realized it was not going to show up without ordering another one.

Spent 7 hours in the sun today, drinking water, weed-eating, and repairing fences —- came in at 3:45.  It was 101 degrees.

Found the little Case SS Lockback Knife I lost a couple of years ago!

Had replaced it —- now I have (2).  These are great little knives.

Heat doesn't really bother me, like some folks are concerned about nowadays.  Like Alan, I grew up in the Central Valley of California where the temperatures are generally over 100 from late May through late September.

Had a nice cool 45 minute bath —- Sue has a roast in the oven.

I will hit it again tomorrow —- start at 6:30 and work until finished —- Target "Done Time" will be 12 noon.

Best, Fred

Gotta love finding something you thought lost forever.  Bill

Isn't it nice when they come home?

I lost mine some time ago and miss it.  However SOMEONE has given me some other knives that I use daily.  Thank you SOMEONE.

You can never have to many little lockbacks. I'd put one in a travel bag that goes with you but not as a carry on and then you know it is there.
