Case Flippers

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

. . . Case made several tactical models (as imports) under the Tec-X name. Why not revisit some of those designs?

First, I like the looks of that CRKT knife, even has a filler tab for right or left handed pocket clip carry, which is something seen on the better tactical folders. It yields a sleek, finished look in my opinion.

As far as the X-Tac designs go, I'm glad Case is doing something different with these Bradford made flippers. Too often manufacturers (Frost, Boker, Ka-Bar, etc.) cloud the lines of where a new production knife is made. If Case started making some knives in the USA and some made in China/offshore, I would definitely start to question the authenticity of USA made Case knives.

I do not have anything against Chinese knives, I own dozens in fact. But I do have an issue with deception. ::nod:: Just my 2¢.

I wonder how this new line will compare with the Benchmade Griptilion, the price is in the same neighborhood.

With the Marilla being a flipper I'm not sure what this knife compares to, I'm curious to read some reviews on how smooth it opens, lockup and releases before I would compare or buy.
