I know ya'll won't spill the secret. I've never done this before but I'm getting hitched next week & I want my best man to be surprised when I hand him a little Case metal box with these inside:

geocash, Congratulations! We've been as you say "hitched" going on 53 years and it's been a great thing!
By the way if your best man can't make it, give me a call, I'd sure love them knives.

This is a serious big deal for me so many thanks to all of my friends at AAPK for the good wishes.
I picked a good woman & now if I could just decide what knife I'll carry...

For us non-Case collectors: what are the pattern numbers & years ?
Is the Best Man a knife collector ?

Someone once said...if you have three of something, you have a collection. If he wasn't...he is now

Geocash- Best Wishes to the new couple.
My son gave knives to his groomsmen several years ago-
it was well liked by everyone.

He doesn't accumulate to the extent I do but he usually carries a couple - a traditional in his pocket & a tactical on his belt. A few weeks ago he commented on my Case #6232 so, what he's getting, from top to bottom, a 1970 #6244 which is about 3 1/4" L, a 1972 #6232 that's 3 5/8" & a 1971 #6292 which is 4". We've been friends since a little before these were made.

geocash, just for laughs hand him that Case tin with a rusted old junker knife with a broken blade inside. Then after he opens it hand him the real one. ftd

Good for you geocash, right now the wedding looks like the culmination and crowning event but it is really just the starting line. It is a marathon but worth it the whole way. Marriage the hardest thing and the best thing I've ever been involved with. It take a life time of dying to self and living for someone else and all worth it. God bless you and the Misses on your special day.

geo, thanks for pattern #'s & dates. They make a very special gift. Best man will be 'moved' by your generosity i'm sure.
