He reasoning was spot on-“I need a knife to open packages and stuff, and this was small, had a good amount of curve to the blade, and it looked interesting.” Check, check, and check on the Case Texas Toothpick. I was expecting a Kershaw or a ZT, maybe even a Sebenza, but then imagine my shock when this new to knives person busted out a Case Texas Toothpick. One day he came in and picked her up from work and we ran into each other.
He was younger than I was and didn’t strike me as a “I carried since I was 7” type, so I was very interested to see what he pocketed on a daily basis. It all started when a work friend told me that her husband loved knives. But the Toothpick came into production and I snagged one. In this case, I was waiting and watching for over three years. And so if you want a particular model not being made, you wait. It is more time consuming to produce a Case knife �? on average, each knife takes eight weeks to make and is touched by more than 125 sets of hands �? but the folks at Case believe the end result is a knife unlike any other on the market today.Like with Bark River, GEC has an extensive catalog, not all of which is in production at the same time. The stamp of quality on each Case knife blade signifies that the blade has been properly tempered and tested �? not once, but twice. Perhaps the most famous quality assurance Case has is the distinctive �?XX�? that each Case knife wears like a badge of honor. While the average consumer doesn�?t always notice the genuine brass liners or the nickel silver bolsters, these special touches are key to making a knife that will last for generations. While the surgical steel blades are easier to maintain and more resistant to rust and corrosion, many traditionalists prefer chrome vanadium, the original type of blade used by Case.Ĭase spares no expense on the internal components of its knives. Case has a variety of jig patterns including: Smooth, Standard, Rogers, Corn Cob, Rogers Corn Cob and PeachSeed.Ĭase customers have a choice of two different types of steel: the convenience of TruSharp�? surgical steel, a high-carbon stainless cutlery steel, or the tradition of chrome vanadium.
Jigging is done by hand for any knife sporting a Vintage Bone handle. Jigged bone is bone that has been notched to give it a rough texture. In addition to a wide variety of handle materials, Case distinguishes certain handles with specially created patterns called jigs.
Materials include: imported Brazilian cattle bone used because of its density and strength hardwoods such as rosewood elegant mother-of-pearl and the new turquoise and black Jet stone. Only the finest handle materials are used by Case. Case offers hundreds of different styles of knives, including many original designs such as the popular CopperLock�?, Baby Butterbean, Sod Buster® and XX-Changer®.Ĭase�?s commitment to quality begins with the materials used in production and is perfected by the talented hands of the master craftsmen and skilled employees who make Case knives.
