Excellent swap acquisition, jerryd...especially considering your (self-declared) aversion to knife swapping in general. The gorgeous deep red bone on the 2013 CCC Mini-T is very similar to the Tested Red color that I love so much. I'm so glad you showed yours; it reminded me that I had one stashed away with my other Collectors Club 07s.

And then on the other end of the stick. Today's arrival.

Although I'm not a fan of Rough Rider, I am a fan of minimalism in design as well as VG-10 steel (which I did not know RR used on any of their products) so that one really captures my interest on several levels I like it.

What is the handle material?

EDIT: Found it - Aluminum. (Ordered it!)

[jerryd6818]

~Q~, you have to admit that CCC '07 is one fine looking piece of cutlery.

The VG-10 holds up it's end of the bargain. To me, it's attractive and I discovered the handles are anodized aluminum with a thin layer of black synthetic bonded to the aluminum. The half stops are positive, the snap is good and the blades are sharp right out of the box. It's a well made piece of cutlery. I don't think you'll be disappointed, especially at that price point.

[Ivoryman]

Not my regular thing lately but a good old piece anyway

[jerryd6818]

Mighty fine Bryan. Mighty fine. It's the handles that catch my eye. (Well, and the Wharncliffe blade.)

Okay , can’t resist anymore, now gotta get a 2020 stamped 07w w/ bone. Most of my stuff is older but that Warncliffe blade and ( and the rest of the knife) trips my knife trigger.And going to blame it on Jerry D ,as I’ve read he’s to blame and Papa B for it.Just kidding, its a very nice pc. Of Cutlery. Any suggestions as to who here is a good source to buy from would be great.Not real knowledgeable of Case products, the newer stuff anyways . Thanks Folks, be safe out there, JP

[Ripster]

[QTCut5]

Resistance is futile...no doubt about it; you really do need to get an 07W.

If you do eBay, here's a 2020 6.5207W Bonestag that's currently up for auction:

[jerryd6818]

Put that monkey back in his cage. I have a 6.5 07W Bonestag. It doesn't need to be a 2020.
Yeah, yeah. I know that was directed at JP and you weren't talkin' to me. I'm just sayin'.

BUT, that said. Everyone needs a 6.5 Bonestag 07W.

[Ripster]

Hey Q, thanks for the info.Not real big on the bay, but think I’ll throw a bid at it. Also heard Steve has one in his store and he’s a member here ,so may go that route to Support him.Really appreciate all of U here. And by the way out of hundreds ,maybe a Thousand knives ,this will be my first new Case and Warncliffe blade. Take care and be safe out there. JP

Hey guys, are these new Case shields pinned or glued?

[Ripster]

Oops learning curve here with the Quote thing and notifications. Was asking if these new 07W shields are pinned or glued ,thanks JP

[jerryd6818]

All I see are glued shields. I don't think they've pinned in a long time.


Finally received the Battle Axe from ~Q~. What a beauty.

[jmh58]

Another FINE MT to add to your ever growing stash!!
John

[jerryd6818]

One more John. It's been on order since February and it's finally on it's way. It's in Palatine now, so "should" be delivered tomorrow. I've had a spot cleared for it for the last 5 months so as you can probably tell, I'm on one cheek and then the other, waiting "patiently".

Thanks Jerryd ,not to familiar with newer Case. And hope your knife that you’ve been waiting for gets here soon! .

[jerryd6818]

Get it post it. Woo Hoo baby. This one's a sweetheart.

[QTCut5]

Nice looking 20 dot Mini-T, jerryd !!
(10 dots for 2020 on the tang stamp and another 10 dots for 1970 on the cigar band )

[jerryd6818]

So that's why they put the dots on the band. Thanks for enlightening me.

You really should get yourself one ~Q~. They are such a striking knife in person.

[jmh58]

Looking GOOD jerry!!!
