Need help identifying case knife

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.

Need help identifying case knife

Post by Boluca »

My wife was given a case knife many years ago. At the time he was a Case dealer.
I believe it is from 1950 to 1964. 31/8” closed.
Here are pictures.

The handles look to be metal. Are they?? Purely a guess on my part but it appears to be a ladies knife. The long bottom blade looks like a cuticle blade. I gladly admit that I don't know enough about Case knives to fill a thimble. Those are both just guesses. Pretty knife.
