Jacks or Better to Open...

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Thanks BIGHEAD ::tu:: The clip has very good snap both ways but the pen has ZERO closing. Someone buffed it to death, and thats such a shame. :?

I love the old used uncleaned knives with history in em. ::nod::

Thank you Marty! ::tu:: That and the fact that these older Case XX knives were just built better from what I've held in my hand. BIGHEAD has some fantastic examples of this in his collection. Anything built from 1979 and before and I'm into it. The liners, springs and blades were just unsurpassed in quality. 10 Dots from the 70s, if you ever see one, just hold it, work the blades, here the snap and the rest is history. ::ds::
