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.

I would go to wrcase.com, contact us, select "consumer relations" and ask them. I'm sure they'd be able and glad to help you answer that.

1986 was the first year. It was not listed in the March 1986 price list or the 1986 catalog, but it was in the June 1987 price list. It likely was first made late in 1986.

I had no idea that they made them with bone handles that early, though. I only recall the basic wood handled version.

The owners manual is dated 1987. I have one in rosewood with the Burlington Northern emblem logo embeded in brass in the handle scale. It was a 25 year award given to an employee.
