Case Knives
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.
Below you will find valuable resources to help with your Case knife collecting hobby:
| Case's Knife Numbering System | This link will explain W.R. Case's numbering system that the company uses to represent knife patterns, handle materials, and other characteristics about its knives. |
| Blade Abbreviations | In addition to the pattern number, W.R. Case often stamps additional letters that represent certain blades or other unique characteristics incorporated in their knives. This link contains information about these characters. |
