Case & Case related knives over 100 years old

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.

Tom, piling on to the 94J bandwagon - fantastic knife! ::tu:: ::tu:: The spear blade as the master is the more rare configuration from the few 94J's I've seen.

The 2 Sunfish patterns are super nice, too.

Thanks, Jerry. You are right about the clip usually being the Master. The few older ones I have seen are the ones that have the spear blade as the master. ::shrug::

It has a lot going for it that I like. First WR Case & Sons 6211 1/2 that I have had. Hard to beat the old bone.

Thanks again,
