If you have a Case that will take an edge like that, you got real
lucky.

Haven't bought a new knife since 61, didn't realize they had a problem. I
have several Schrades and Case knives from the 50's and early 60's and they
all take a real nice edge. The Case (3 1/2 " blade) that I carry mostly I
purchased new in
61. I lost it once and found it a year or so latter laying in a flower bed
in the back yard. After a light buffing on the bone handle it looked like
new again and I still carry it daily. RM~
