i had a gift card to the local hardware store. i had been eyeing the full size finn and the finn mini, they just switched there knife display to Case. I buy the case finn mini as a lightweight trout and fishing bc knife. I thought I was used to Case quality but its clear they are no longer the same company.My father has a larger vintage version of the case finn that has lasted him decades with no defects.
immmediately after inspecting once home, i find that..
The stainless steel polish is very poorly done and looks like a guady chrome with imperfections.
The attachment of the blade to handle is so flimsy I could bend it with one finger. Are older case knives full tang ?
The stacked leather on the handle would move and make audible noises while gripping knife.
i thought this was just a defect. went back to store to return for another. the stainless steel finish was an imperfection on only mine but every knife in that store had improperly fitted handles and flimsy blades
gave up and bought a crkt biwa- cheaper and fully confident its not gonna snap in half

I’m not sure why it’s taking people so long to realize that Case hasn’t cared about making quality knives in a very long time. They’re selling over-priced junk based on a brand reputation they haven’t earned in decades.
Thanks
