Case Pocket Worn Old Red Bone Medium Stockman
Item #: CS-786
$79.95
When you held your Grandfather's pocketknife, you probably noticed the slightly smoother feel, the rounded corners and the rivets worn a bit flatter. That's the result of being carried in a pocket for years. By taking a little more time hand-finishing these knives, Case has duplicated that feel. The look and feel is classic, the materials modern. The Medium Stockman features Case's own Tru-Sharp surgical stainless steel blades at 54-57 Rc., nickel silver bolsters and shields and brass liners. Measures 3-5/8" closed. 2-1/2" clip point, 1-3/4" spey and a 1-7/8" sheepfoot blade, all mirror polished. Weighs 2.5 oz. Made in the U.S.A. Suggested retail $113.90.

Case Knives
W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is an American manufacturer of traditional pocket knives, limited edition commemoratives and collectibles. It makes American made traditional pocket knives in a variety of patterns, blade styles, and handle materials. They are particularly well known for their specialized dying process - creating beautiful and colorful bone handles. Case prefers to use their proprietary Tru-Sharp stainless steel. Tru-Sharp sharpens and polishes easily and is enjoyed by collectors all over.
The roots of the company span all the way back to 1889. W.,R. Case & Sons notably made knives in World War 1, notably the M3 Fighting Knife for servicemen and the V-42 stiletto for the Devil’s Brigade. They also made knives for NASA astronauts for when they touched back down on earth and were waiting to be picked up. The Case Company is currently owned by the Zippo Manufacturing Company, based in the same city, which is well known for their Zippo lighters. You can see great synergy between the companies as they share equipment and expertise like inlaid dyed bone handles and laser engraving machinery.
