Anybody carry these regularly? Is he quality still good? I'm sure they're not like they used to be, but I'm wondering if they're still good.

Carry a Peanut every day- still made in the US, good little knife.

I have the CV blades, get stainless- the CV blades will get a little rusty if you use them in the saltwater, but a brillo pad takes care of it.

Same here, I carry my sodbuster daily and keep a trapper in my console. The CV blades are very easy to sharpen.

Stopped carrying a case a few years ago. Its a solid knife but I picked up a spyderco endura. It quickly became my go to. Recently I picked up a spyderco mannix 2 xl and it is superb. Tough as nails, big as shite, stays SHARP.

They are definitely still a great knife. Like mentioned the cv will wear off and start rusting the blade. If you use a pocket knife a much as I do it's nice to have something that a couple swipes on a wet rock and you are back in business. I have never had a SS knife I could say that about. I have the yellow handle trapper but bought my son a mini trapper and thinking about picking another mini up for myself.

My grandfather collected knives, and I have two Case knives that are at least 50 years old (one was a knife you sent off for in an old magazine.) They are both of comparable quality to the newer one I got when I was in high school 12 years ago. I don't carry it anymore, but still a good knife.

Buy the CV blade and stick it in an Irish potatoe for about 2 weeks. Pull blade out of tater and it will be tarnished with a dull blackness on the blade. Resharpen and never worry about rust again.

I do not frequent saltwater though
