Item #: CS-DM77464
$299.95
Every year we select several knives from Case's S.H.O.T. Show dealer specials which must be ordered at the show in Las Vegas in January. Case always has several models with various handle materials, bolsters, or shields. This year, they stepped a little more out of the ordinary. They have produced several models with Vintage Jigged Bone handle scales and blades of ladder pattern carbon Damascus. These are available for only a very short time.
We chose three different models that have been popular with our customers in the past: the seahorse whittler, mini trapper and peanut. All three knives are slip joints with nickel silver bolsters and Coat of Arms shield with brass liners. The Vintage Bone handle scales are dyed and jigged by Case. The Seahorse Whittler has three blades: a 2-3/8" Wharncliffe , a 1-1/2" pen and a 1-1/2" cut off pen. Measures 3-7/8" closed. Weighs 2.5 oz. The Mini Trapper has two blades: a 2-3/4" clip and a 2-3/4" spey. Measures 3-1/2" closed. Weighs 2.8 oz. 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. 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.
