Re: 2022 Vault Release
I bought at least a dozen 09's, perhaps a few more, when they were recently released from the vault.
I believe that there was a time when the 09 probably didn't sell all that well. I also believe that that issue is in the past. I believe the Barlow would certainly hold its own with the other traditional patterns that Case keeps in the line-up and that I referenced in my original post, and that it ought to be brought back as a permanent item.
Just my two cents... I have no expectations of anything changing.

I'll have to try to get one of them.
I probably couldn't afford it anyways but I'll ask anyways. Do you guys think they'll make these with Stag handles? I could start saving up and prepping for approval from the boss lady.

Re: 2022 Vault Release
Buying a dozen certainly is voting with your wallet. I thought I squandered too much buying five **49s. Locally the only stores that stock Case knives for traditional slip joints sell only 44, 18, and 47 Stockmans and 07 and 54 Trappers. Among them the best seller by far is the yellow Delrin 54 Trapper. I don't recall any new Chinese or Parker Barlows being displayed either. I bought my pair of 5209s pre-owned in a pawn & gun shop. While I'll keep them forever I did not feel a need for more **09s during their vault release. Maybe you were the smarter man.MadTrapper wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 6:57 pm I bought at least a dozen 09's, perhaps a few more, when they were recently released from the vault. [...]

Not smarter, just knew that once they went back into the vault that that was going to be it for a very long while.Modern Slip Joints wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:30 amBuying a dozen certainly is voting with your wallet.

Re: 2022 Vault Release
I think Bear and Son is the only US maker who still regularly produces a Barlow, correct? I know Utica discontinued their version a few years back when they primarily moved to SFOs.

Amber bone may be my first 25 1/2 purchase.
But I do like the Gray bone too!!

Re: 2022 Vault Release
I believe it has to do with money. If their bread and butter is selling trappers, stockman, and muskrats, they probably won't put them in the vault.MadTrapper wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 6:42 pm I'm still trying to get my head around why Case would take the Barlow pattern and lock it up while at the same time keeping patterns such as the various stockmans, muskrats, and trappers standard fare. I argue the Barlow is a classic and an original pattern and should be maintained in the permanent line-up.

Re: 2022 Vault Release
I'm not suggesting that any pattern be placed in the vault. I'm suggesting that the Barlow be brought out of the vault and added to the permanent line-up.
Time to let the issue of the Barlow die here. It is what it is. I hadn't intended to hijack this post. Sorry.

Re: 2022 Vault Release
At only 3", just not my cup o' tea.
As an accumulator, I carry what I collect. 3 1/4" is my lower limit to carry.
But that's me.
More for you guys!!

Re: 2022 Vault Release
Think I will start out with an Amber Bone!!
I am sure Case will offer these in a Billion different handle configurations.
Gotta pace myself!!

Re: 2022 Vault Release
Good choice.
The Copperhead only had 26 handle configs.

Re: 2022 Vault Release
I think it will be worth a try--the handle seems meatier than a Peanut or other small pattern.
However, patterns like a Barlow or Copperhead are practical user knives. Didn't see much need in a Barlow as I had several from other makers, but the Copperhead is my perfect knife. I was hoping for an 88 this year, as the darn things are PRICEY!!!. I have a '76, but it's in pretty rough condition.

Re: 2022 Vault Release
Agree - I had one once - seemed too wide for a knife that short to me. I like short knives to be thin - I'll pass ...Steve Warden wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 8:02 pm At only 3", just not my cup o' tea.

Re: 2022 Vault Release
I hear you on the copperhead - from the historically & consistently high prices on the used market (even on late model ones), I don't think you're alone ... market dictates that pretty much everybody likes the copperhead, thus the prices. It's a great sized jack knife, just wish once in my lifetime I could get a deal on one - paying full price on late model Case's has never interested me ...cody6268 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 6:52 pm I think it will be worth a try--the handle seems meatier than a Peanut or other small pattern.

Re: 2022 Vault Release
Just got an email from Shepherd Hills, these 2 available on back order. I reckon they may well sell out quickly.
Re: 2022 Vault Release
Thanks cudgee.. I hope they dont sell out.. I think Case will make enough for ALL their dealers and I think these are are their standard line.. Usually the SFO for certain dealers are more likely to sell out..
