W.R. Case & Sons's Making a Case for America
Item #: CS-SH10846
$84.95
Every year in January we order knives from W.R. Case that are produced in limited quantities and only sold to dealers at the SHOT Show. In 2025 they offered a two bladed trapper with synthetic handle scales that look like weathered bone (or wood) marked with Making A Case for America on the obverse side and Hand Crafted USA in script on the reverse.
The Trapper knife pattern has been the most popular traditional folder pattern for more than two centuries and continues to be the pattern we sell the most of. Two blades from the pivot end of the knife define this pattern. The 3-1⁄4" clip point and 3-1⁄4" spey blades are mirror polished Tru-Sharp surgical stainless at 54-57 Rc. The nickel silver bolsters and brass liners are traditional and really enhance the handle scales. Slip joint. Measures 4-1⁄8" closed. Weighs 3.8 oz. Made in the U.S.A. Suggested retail is $120.90.

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.
