Mike Walters replied to Scott King's discussion Would you like to see a "new" Jumbo made today and what affect would it have on the old ones? in the group Elephant Toenail Collector Club
"I have almost no chance of ever owning an original Case Jumbo, so I would welcome the chance at a new one. I agree that the long term is what we all look to in any knife"
