    It's almost like they knew what to keep original so it still had some of its aged charater. Honestly did not know they'd work on older models or take apart an oldie and replace a spring. That's such a great job. Chapeau to the artisan that did that work. Way to go Case Repair division!!!!

    I had to come back to this video to show a family member what good customer service Case has. I still can’t get over what an amazing job they did. I can’t say that I know any other knife manufacturers that would be willing to completely restore such an old product. Second hand even! Absolutely baffled.

    As a Case collector I am so glad Case came through for you in such a spectacular fashion. What a beauty. I really like how the blade was done. Kind of an old blade new blade combo. Congrats.

    I got a nice Case as a reward knife for safety from the company I worked for and the company name was engraved into the handle. It was a single blade, lock back and it was my every day carry knife. One day I dropped it and a large portion of the tip broke off. Someone suggested I send it to Case for repairs. I figured the repair couldn't be as much as a new knife, so I sent it in and waited to hear from them about the cost. After a few weeks I was starting to get worried and it came in the mail. Since they never contacted me with a quote I just assumed that they couldn't fix it and just sent it back. Imagine my surprise when I opened the package and the blade was new and the rest of the knife was polished like the one in this video and ZERO COST except for the shipping to send it there!

    Didn’t know CASE would do rework on an oldie. I picked up a 10 dot 1970 sunfish with jigged wood handles from a customer, unsharped , opens and closes so good . That yellow handle stockman on the table looks like an old John primble . I’m amazed that they had a spring for your case ,glad you got good results.

    Some knife makers have wonderful customer service and warranties. Had a folding hunting knife, company name starts with an S. Loose in the hinge, bent pin I suspect. Had it for years before finding it again, sent it in with a letter to explain on a whim. Was surprised, got a brand new knife back.

    Congrats on the Elephant Toe. Like you, I found one about 18 months ago. It was in slightly rough condition, and I was able to restore it. For the wood scales, get some Howard Feed-N-Wax wood polish. It's beeswax, and it works great to keep the scales nourished and shiny. I use my Elephant Toe for some kitchen prep - cutting small potatoes and onions and such. For the bolsters and the Case shield, Flitz works great to keep them highly polished. Again, glad to hear that you found one that you love.

    I'm a collector of knives as well, my most precious (yeah, Gollum style) knives belonged to my dad, and both of my grandfathers. Three perfect blades, dad's was a skinner he bought as a kit at a black powder rendezvous, his father's Uncle Henry pocket (some call it a "pen") knife, and my mother's father's (in Scandinavian that's Morfar) what I called his everything knife, and old beautiful Mora. Anyways, listening to you get all excited and exuberant about your knife, and she is a beauty, got me thinking of my dad and kinda brought a tear to my eye. Thank you.

    While driving through Pennsylvania a few years ago I came upon the Zippo Case Museum, factory, and store. I had to stop. It was a great place. I spent a couple hours touring. I’ve since been back and toured to see it again.

  • @tomharruff2274

    I happened to be able to go to the Case factory some years ago and I brought my great-grandfather's Case knife which was in poor condition. The bolsters were missing but the blades were still pretty good. The springs were shot. I asked to have it repaired. It was very old, probably from about 1900. Some weeks later I got a bubble type envelope in the mail as seen in this video. When I opened it the knife was in the same condition as when I dropped it off. The note in the envelope said that the knife was too old and could not be repaired. I was very disappointed but understand that the knife was probably over 100 years old.
    I'm happy that you had a good experience.

    Wow! Just a little newer than the two I picked up at a flea market the last two summers One is a Granddaddy Barlow and the other a 5” Toothpick both Case CV I marvel at the work Case/Zippo did but my wife’s late uncle once told me he sent a Zippo with a broken hinge in that had a coin soldered to it and Zippo replaced the case and soldered his coin to the new case!
    Enjoy your beauty amigo!

    Nice, I'm not a knife collector but often see old knives at estate sales and storage unit liquidations. I had no idea there's such a demand for certain vintage knives. One I picked up recently is a very old craved bone handle switchblade model. The switch is bent and I can't get the blade out to ID it. But it's about the size of your knife maybe a tad thinner. Thanks for the video. It's very informative.

  • @gizmocarr3093
    @gizmocarr3093 2 роки тому +4

    I don’t think you could have done much better unless Case sent you a new knife. What you got back is unique looking as well. It shows old rusty knives can be made to look really interesting if given the right care. I think the knife still has all the original parts except the for the bolster pins. The back spring just needed the corrosion polished out and buffed. I doubt Case would have a new one to replace such an old knife. I have one just like your knife; if you look, you will find the shield is pinned to the liner too.
    I believe that Case is criticized as an excuse for some people buying all China made knives.
    You sent a knife in for warranty repairs that was 51 years old and Case fixed it and sent the same knife back to you. Even if you had to pay for part of the repair, you got one great deal. That simply does not happens with a $12 dollar China made knife. That is one very good reason for buying Case Knives.
    The important part of sending a knife to Case for repair is following the directions required to return the knife. I sent three knives back to Case, one for a loose blade, one for a bad back spring and one for a crack in a cover. Case repaired everyone and returned it just like yours. Out of 88 Case knives, I own the other 97% of them had no defects needing repair. 🔎🔪🔍 🙂

    I sent in two knives to case. Both had handle issues, one cracked and one that was discolored. Neither were as valuable as your knife so they ended up replacing both of them. One must have been out of production because the bone handle was a different color but the same pattern. I was well pleased with this result and agree Case customer service and craftsmanship are great.

    As an avid Case XX collector, I was very disappointed when I sent a 35 year old pocket knife my wife bought me before our wedding. Mine had a broken handle and the tip broken on one of the three blades. Like you I got it back about 6 weeks later untouched, and a letter saying "sorry but there were no castings available to fix the broken blade nor the handle was available either. I was devastated as I used to buy several Case brands each and every year for birthdays, retirement gifts, and Christmas gifts too. Since they wouldn't honor their warranty I haven't bought a Case in ten years.
