Family Members Birthyears as Case Collection idea.
Re: Family Members Birthyears as Case Collection idea.
Think I'll just scrap the whole idea. I don't have the funds or the patience for this project.
Either that or I'll just look for the years regardless of the Pattern #. That would be an easier, faster and cheaper way to do it.

Re: Family Members Birthyears as Case Collection idea.
Back in mid September, I got this idea that I would like to collect a set of 5 Case knives. One for the birth year of each family member of my family.
They are as follows.:
1972-(8-dot)
1975(5-dot)
2001-(9-dot)
2003-(7-dot)
2007-(3-dot)
First family member found. This 1972 Sod-Buster Jr. that I recieved from treefarmer is the start of my "Case Family". I'm really stoked that my "Case Family" collection has gotten off to a good start! One down, four to go.
Thanks Philip! These 5 Case knives that represent my family will be a very special part of my collection & I'll always remember where or from who I got them.

Re: Family Members Birthyears as Case Collection idea.
Tom, I did this a few years ago. Bought a 54 Case Trapper made in the year of their birth for my son and both of my grandsons. It may have been a waste of time and money though. I got the feeling they were not impressed. Don't know for sure though.

Those look awesome Jerry! I'm sure that it was not a waste Jerry! Sure wish I had a nice knife from my dad or grandfather! I'm sure they cheerish it and they will cheerish the heck out of it when your not around anymore but I hope that's a long, long, long ways off.

Re: Family Members Birthyears as Case Collection idea.
Finally found this thread again!
And after almost 3 years, I finally finished my "Case Family Collection". One Case knife in the birthyear of each family member. May not sound hard to do but doing it from Germany turned it into a challenge.
Anyways, I made it.
A very special thanks goes out to treefarmer, Paladin, 1976redrider & Sanders Knives who helped me come up with 4 of these knives. Couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks Guys!
The 5th knife I found on eBay Germany just this last week. Would have been cooler if they were all from the U.S. but it turned out how it turned out.
Took a bunch of pictures of them this morning & here they are.:

Thanks Dan!
Yes, I am so happy to have this little set completed. Believe it or not, it really means a lot to me. The love of my family, my native country & my hobby together in a set of knives. It's a cool feeling I can't really describe. A very "special" set of knives in my collection.

Glad you were able to complete this project, Tom. And happy to help out. I hope the recent graduate gets many years of enjoyment out of the Congress.

She claims she won't sell my knives though.
I'm going to get one or two of my pictures of this set printed out & framed so they will always know which knives are in this set. Just in case.
But hopefully, one of my children (or maybe a future grandchild) will develope a deeper interest in my collection at some point in time. Till now, Jazlin is the only one who shows any real interest. She really likes her Congress & a "LONDON SAK" that we bought together the year she went to London with her school class.
I'll probably get these two pictures printed & framed.
Edit: Maybe this third picture as well so they see the number of blades each one has.

Re: Family Members Birthyears as Case Collection idea.
That is the coolest idea I've heard in a long time Tom. I was not aware you were doing that but I'm happy you finally completed your task. The only birthday knife I've done was I got my youngest a CASE "Texas Lockhorn" for 1981.

I've been thinking I might add one more knife to this little set. A 1993 for the year we got married.
Gives me a reason to buy another Case knife.
