Yup mate, it's personal preference. Like any collecting, different stokes for different folks.1967redrider wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 12:06 pmWillyCamaro wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 2:54 amOh no mate, every CC I've seen up for sale/sold, since I got into knives 5 years ago, have brought big $$$.1967redrider wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 2:36 am And here I was beginning to think the Case Classics market was dead.
It tis a low key, but very passionate sub-set of Case collectors that go for 'em, and I know why. Once you hold a few, you can see why they are so desired by collectors.
IMHO, they are some of the best production knives ever made; on par with, and in many cases, better then GEC. My dad has only 2 in his collection (long frame whittler, gunboat canoe), and they are my most favoritist knives Mr. Frodo.
I have a few, Willy, but they just don't do it for me in the way a Case XX era or older knife does. I like the Bluegrass Winchesters better than the Case Classics, just my preference I guess.
And there is absolutely nothing like wrong with it! It's awesome for us collectors, having variety is the spice of life.
It's kinda funny, I absolutely do love Bluegrass knives! But the biggest issue I have with them, is no variety of handle materials/colors. That's what I love about Case, they produce so many different handle materials, is suh-weeet!
