What is this?
I will give you a hint:
My first Case knife since I was a young boy. This purchase came along as I was recently searching for the right birthday gift for a neighbor friend recently (of course I immediately went searching and researching for a suitable flashlight or knife) and I ultimately decided on an orange bone Case Peanut. When it came in, I couldn't help but put my hands on it, and while it was a little smaller than I expected, I was immediately taken by the quality of the materials, the feel of the opening and closing of the blades, and just enchanted with the "old fashioned-ness of it. I immediately justified a purchase for myself as a crowd friendly pocketable option for times when a locking blade might be inappropriate - plus, heck, I had caught the Case fever and just had to have one!!
I was able to check a few different models of Case knives this past weekend at a nearby Bass Pro Shops, where along with the absolute lack of help/service at the knife counter, and the fact that they didn't have the model I wanted, led me to check the look, feel and pocket-ability only and order what I wanted online. This is rare for me - as I do like supporting local business (as much as Bass Pro is "local") in fact I am a strict adherer to the support your local hobby store and bicycle shop 100%. Not to go off on a tangent, but those are two specialist shops that are disappearing more and more.
Review to follow soon.
