Who makes a good canoe?

I don't get it. What's wrong with Case? I always carry a CV Canoe and a Zippo.

Nothing wrong with the Case in my opinion. I've got one Case Canoe that appears to have a stainless small blade and a carbon steel large blade. I need to take and post a picture of that one.

Well, West Kentucky wrote in his post that started this thread:

Case XX had no canoe knives (last i looked) aside from the display pieces. Call me crazy but I just don't see the point in paying $100 bucks for a $40 knife with "pretty" grips that clearly aren't durable and aren't meant for use.

Apparently Case is now making collector pieces rather than working knives, at least in the canoe pattern.

Case canoe on Amazon for 45 bucks. Took five seconds of searching. Google is your friend.

Yes, canoes are once again available. At the time I posted, there were very few actually available. Most of the knives available were the higher end collectors pieces or have the unnamed plastic grips. The affordable bone cases are back, and I’m back in the market.

Will do. I was hoping to drop a hint for Father’s Day as it will be my first, to get a decent knife I can use, enjoy, and cherish. That means current production. The problem with current production as I looked around last night is in scale materials. I would greatly prefer bone, but most new knives have a synthetic material. That can be good or bad. I’m typically a traditional guy when it comes to knives so I don’t know which synthetics are durable and which ones are cheap junk. To compound matters, a few of the knives I looked at didn’t say which synthetic material it was, just that it was synthetic.

Case has all sorts of choices in bone.

As I stated above in post #27, I've got one Canoe that appears to have a stainless (small) blade and a not-so-stainless (large) blade.

I may have had something to do with it. The knife originally had very light colored bone scales before I dyed them brown with RIT dye.
