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.
This little fly fisher has been on my list for years and finely found this 10 dot that I could afford. Never figured why these are a bit pricy but they sure are neat.
The folding hunter is one of my favorites, I really like the blade on these tested knives. In the winter when jackets are the norm you'll find this in one of my pockets.....

Nice find Bob. I know what you mean about price. Been keeping an eye out for one myself but haven't found one yet I'm willing to pay so much to buy. Glad you found an affordable one.

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

Ok here is my newest addition and while it's only a 1999 I love it...with one exception and I would appreciate your guys opinion on to keep or not. I have 12 days to return it with no questions asked. It is mint in every way except for it had wilsonart etched on the blade and somebody done their best to polish it out and done a good job but when you look at it from a certain angle you can still see it some.
My question is and I realize it's to each their opinion....should I keep it or send it back?
Thanks in advance.

Nice one Slomo. I personally don't like etched blades for EDCs. Collection knives are fine. Looks great to me. Question is if it is going to bug you, then return it. Or just have the rest of the etch buffed out.
Pretty knife for sure.
BTW, if you are picking up trappers, I have 4 for sale in the advertisement forum and most of the rest of the ones I own too.

Newest pickup 1986 Johnny Muskrat in original presentation box, only 500 made that I think is kind of cool.
I'm usually not to fond of etched blades but I do like this one I think because of the muskrat etched in the blade who knows. I have read back through some of the older post and found that it is a club member knife of some kind according to what I've found.
Also I think it's kind of neat when you do a Google search for a Johnny Muskrat the only information/links that come up all lead back to AAPK. Shows there are some very knowledgeable folks here.

Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark
