Case folding knife model identification

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.

Case folding knife model identification

Post by JimDY »

hi all

Just digging through some boxes from when my dad passed away, and found a bundle of my grandfather's gear from when he lived in Canada (I'm uk based)

In amongst some awesome fishing gear, there were a couple of knives, including this Case folder

After a bit of digging online it looks 1932-40 according to the blade stamps...but wondering if anyone knew what model it was?

Not selling, just interested

Many thanks in advance

You have a Case Folding Hunter, Tested era 1920-40 pattern number 6265. Since both blades are stamped and it has the Bomb Shield I would date it closer to 1920. Nice knife.

That is just excellent to have your Grandpa's knife like that. Wish I had one of my Grandpas.

For sure. I never met my grandpa - died before I was born, but to be able to use his knife (and some fishing gear) and know he's had his hands on it, as did my dad, is nice.

Really nice
