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.

Keeping an eye out. What a weird thing to say. Where does that come from anyway?
Google is amazing...
To watch for something or someone (often when you are doing something else). This phrase originated from people using telescopes. ... As they could only use one eye to look through the telescope, people started to use the phrase “keep an eye out”.Jan 6, 2014

Yes, I did try to persuade him to join the Corps but as long as he's happy with his decision, I guess I'll have to be happy with it too. He graduates May 23rd and ships for Basic Training June 4th. He's finally going to get that haircut I've been giving him grief about for the past 3-4 years.
Ran the knife over to an old Marine jeweler acquaintance of mine as soon as it showed up. He's going to engrave Jayden's initials on the mark side bottom bolster.
Nice gift and best looking ARMY Case-knife I've seen in awhile - right down to the shield. Give a well done to your grandson from me please! OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark
Picked these up at Shepard Hills in Lebanon, MO on Monday.
