$81.95
W. R. Case and Sons'® roots go back to 1889, when the four brothers sold handcrafted knives out of the back of a wagon in New York. Their knives have been used, collected and handed down for generations. Two of the older models are the Trapper and the Barlow. These two current variations each have two blades with embellishments, handle jigging and period tang stamps.
All blades are mirror polished Tru-Sharp™ surgical stainless at 54-57 Rc. with nickel silver bolsters and Badge shield, and brass liners. Handle scales are Russell Jigged Bone that is dyed a rich brown color. The Russell Jigging pattern is one of the best with a very fine texture. Both are Slipjoint folders (do not lock). The main blade is etched CASE BROTHERS. All are made in the U.S.A.

Case Knives
W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is an American manufacturer of traditional pocket knives, limited edition commemoratives and collectibles.

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.

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.
