Case Classic 5488 …. Beauty of a Congress

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.

Might as well show off the Red Bone 6488. I didn't capture the light too well in these pics …. in person this is a better looking knife.

Great looking knives. Glad you're posting them. Now we know what kind of bait it takes to drag Doc Magoo out of the weeds.
