New book on Case knives

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.

New book on Case knives

Post by Mumbleypeg »

Saw this in a post on the Case Collector’s Club Forum. Looks like a new edition, apparently it came out last month. I guess ol’ Tom has been holding out on us! :lol: Congratulations Tom. ::handshake::

I’d like to have it. Has anyone here seen a copy yet?

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

Thanks guys. I have some of the books here that I can send direct if you prefer. I get $35 shipped and prefer PayPal F&F. I can of course also take a check or money order if you prefer. I am hoping that the book is helpful to folks that are interested in collecting pre 1940 Case & Case Related knives. There is also a section in the book that tells how to detect a counterfeit which unfortunately does happen with the older Case knives. Just let me know and thanks for the interest. It has only been out since July 22nd, 2024. So far the interest has been really good.

I'll be checking garage sales and thrift stores for the five blade sowbelly on its cover. ::tu:: ::super_happy:: I doubt I could afford it in the real world.

The sowbelly on the cover is a W R Case & Son, not Sons 5 blade sowbelly, dates 1902-04. If you find two I wouldn't mind having another one, lol.
