Well thats unfortunate. I may have returned that case and tried again. But you may have gotten one with blades off center. Kershaw makes a great slipjoint! I have more than a few. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve bought several new Case knives here lately and seeing everyone’s knives and hearing their complaints, I just expect them to be off and I get happy when they ain’t. I buy too many off of eBay so I never see them till they show up in the mailbox. Most of what I’ve gotten have been pretty good. I like that trapper. Wish it came to you better shape. That culpepper is sweet! It’s a pretty knife! I have one but I can’t think of what type of scales it has. I’ve packed it several times. They are good knives!

It's a good looking trapper, problems aside. I love that Culpepper

Case's quality control is definitely lacking. I sure hope they tighten it up before it's too late. Great video!

It's probably a run that was better than a factory second that SMKW sold for a discount price. They're perfect for users.

IMHO , the quality control department at Case is sleeping on the job and I’m a die hard Case fan

There is a Case I want, hope they still have it next time I go to to Case outlet. I have decided that I will never buy another new Case that I have not looked at personally. I got tired of being disappointed 😞

That's exactly what I tell my wife, every time I tell her its my last one, and guess what she thinks im full of crap but she still luvs me go figure 😂😂

That Kershaw is nice, be nice to see once it starts to get some tiners. Thanks for sharing. God bless

I have the copper kershaw it is a nice knife for the money mine is flawless also . Come on case for twice the money. Great channel brother.

Those Culpeppers are for sure nice. Sorry about your Case Trapper. I recently had a bad experience with one of their new Canoes. It certainly is a shame.

I don't remember seeing a Case knife in Delrin that had that kind of slant. That seems unacceptable to me.

You said it all. Still a good show , thx u

I really need to pick up one of the Culpeppers…I wanna see how it looks after it starts to patina. And Case really needs to start hiring some people that have a true passion for pocket knives. Either that or just slow down on production rate…I can’t think of another knife company that advertises new knives as much as Case.

I noticed the Case also has a short pin. Should have been $30.00.

Your not being picky, the fact is a 15.00 china made knife from rough Ryder often has a better fit and finish record then our USA made case knives. I try to avoid giving my money to case anymore due to the quality of there knives.

I just bought the same knife a few days ago. The steel on mine was so soft I'm not sure if it was ever heat treated. It was so bad I just threw it away. No knock on Case. I have dozens of them and they all hold an edge. But that one...

Are those handles, solid, copper or copper plated?

Never mind, I should’ve watched the whole video😊

Never again - - -until the next time!😆

I hate to say it, but my 15 dollar rough ryder denim canoe from Amazon is much better in fit and finish than 75 dollar to 100 dollar Cases I own. Plus they have lots of cool new styles and materials all the time which you can try out and collect affordably. My RR glow in the dark half hawk is so much nicer than my Case sod busters. I used to think at least Case knives are an investment and will go up in value so it justifies the price. Outside of vintage ones, I am not so sure of that anymore. I am afraid newer ones aren't good as users or as collector items. Things seemed to have gotten better around 2020, then quality control diminished again. I have gotten bad ones in the mail. Would never get one sight unseen, and my local shop has slowly ended up having only old stock flawed ones with gaps blade rub etc. They have been gone through and not bought, and they stopped buying new ones feeling that nobody buys them anymore and they are no longer in demand. Truth is we picked the bones. Just my opinion, but we vote with our purchases.

Yours is not the first video I’ve seen where terrible Case knife quality was shown for all to see. What’s going on at Case..?

China has an unfair advantage in that their labor costs are next to nothing compared to USA made…. That China made knife would cost as much as a GEC if it was made here.

You are not being picky at all. Case seems to not care and no wonder why Chinese knives are fludding the market. They seem to take pride in there craftsmanship and we can’t make anything close and double the money. What a shame

You big dummy! You bought a Case knife? (Says the guy who has purchased 4 in recent times 😆). I’ve had trouble with them, too, most especially the newly engineered “Highbanks”. The only thing “High” about it was the price; piece of junk. My most recent Case knives arrived with good overall build quality, but all of them have been plagued with the common Case nuisance of dull blades. In my opinion, a new knife should be sharp right out of the factory, and ready to go to work! BTW, I usually stop for a visit at Heimerdinger’s Cutlery when I’m in your area. I’m up in Campbell County.
