Well, I had no idea that Case was owned by Zippo, that comforts me. Because I'll be honest, if I am giving a gift for something of significance, (graduation, promotion of import, wedding gift, birth of first son) I either give a Case Sodbuster Jr., Case peanut (more for business guys who have never carried a blade on a daily basis) or a plain SS Zippo like the one I just gave my friends son for a graduation gift.
