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.

Not exactly a new knife, but one I haven’t held in a couple years, felt new to me.
Enlarging your picture I can't see it clear enough to be certain but I think it's a a 1980s National Knife Collectors' Association Case. Nice bone with added punch and pen blade. Is it a 4.25" 6575 or a smaller Stockman?

I picked this up today..... 9 dot (71' ?) Case Muskrat
1981, but who is counting? It's a rare and really cool knife! Next time you are hopping around my rooftop with your Spider webs, you can drop that one down my chimney!

'81? .... ... I knew it!!! My dates are off!!! ... It is all this confounded time travel talk .... time seems to be running together like some quantum off-shoot of the "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment ....
On a happier note and at the same time (see; "Schrödinger's cat thought experiment") a sadder note, I had a Brazilian girlfriend I almost married when I was in Brazil .... She was born in February of 1981...
Added a Case Tested sheepsfoot barlow to the pile. Very hard to find barlow, love the green bone from this era. Would love to find one with less blade wear.
If you found one with less blade wear, then you wouldn't want to carry it around.
Congratulations on your new addition, that's a fine-looking old Case Tested!
