JW,
I too will say I have enjoyed your blog concerning Case knives. Seems like Case knives were in a lot of our families when we were little shavers. I value my Case knives, especially the ones that have a sentimental connection.
What happened with the Tec X knives that Case was going to make in China? I've never seen one on display but I remember a couple years ago folks were all up in arms about this venture .

I saw some for sale in a hardware store a couple of counties over from me. I wasn't real impressed. They looked big and blocky with cheese looking plastic handles. Iirc.

Quite a few of us have similar back-stories with the Case Brand. Mine goes back to my Grandfather who was 17 when Case first opened their doors. Case created the Tec-X brand of tactical knives to compete in a market where they had no foothold at all. Those of us who love our American made knives can still rely on Case Knives being made in Bradford, PA and I've heard the owner promise it will stay that way. Most tactical knife users are already buying their knives made in China, so Case decided to grab some of that action without disrupting anything in the Bradford operation. For all the uproar it caused at the time, most folks are now aware that the Tec-X division really has nothing to do with Case as far as how or where the knives are made. Case steel still comes from a steel plant right here in Ohio and made to their specifications. American hands still put them together and today, that alone is something to be proud of. Thanks for sharing the blog as it echo's the feelings of many a Case owner and collector.
