I fear I have more knives than I will likely use, but I don't own any I would not use.
Yeah oiled too, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Canoe pattern. One of my knife collecting regrets was a Bulldog brand bone canoe I let go in the 90’sMine get fondled and oiled!
Before my forced liquidation of assets I had about 300 collectible Case knives, mostly canoes and hunters. This was in 2011, when prices were near rock bottom. At my last show I had a slab-side hunter than another dealer kept eying. As the show closed I asked how he did, he bought a few things and sold almost nothing. I sold him the knife for $20. He was elated and I had my heart warmed.
I still have about 40 collectibles and a few that were dad's that will be passed down. I have bought about ten new knives in the last two years, five have not been used, yet. I will likely never return to buying Case collectibles. For one thing, my dealer that I worked with moved to Seattle to remain employed.
