Finally Case Does Modern Right
This is more like it, Case! I was very disappointed by the somewhat souless modern knives that Case have offered in recent years, but this is on the right track to go along with the rich Case Heritage. The knife is modern from industry standard materials, especially a long awaited performance blade steel. I like the concept and restraint that was shown in this classic-adjacent design, but I really thin on this would have exploded in popularity if it was a true modern slip joint instead of the double detent. A more premium pocket clip would also go a long way. If they could do a version with coated aluminum bolsters/frame with a back spring and sculpted pocket clip, people would happily pay a little more, and I think a lot of people would jump on it if it remained under $200.
