Case Mother of Pearl

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 Mother of Pearl

Post by gsmith7158 »

I really like the mop handles on the larger knives like the muskrat,trapper, etc... that Case has come out with in recent years. That and some stag handles is about all I will buy post 1982. Anybody else like them let's see some pics.

Those are fantastic. Have you seen the new T.B. MOP cattle knife? Digital Freaks has one listed on eBay for $769.

This thread got quiet all of a sudden. An attempt to revive it...

A old CASE BRADFORD 8261. A "Gentlemen's Knife" I assume. If I recall correctly, the only CASE pattern with a cuticle blade and they stopped making them in the CASE USA circa 65' to 69' time frame.
Some sick smoky pearl but may be a re-handle job as the pearl color is very unique and covers the pivot pin, but with all things CASE, who knows.

Here is a link to a post on it...

Regardless, a beautiful oldie, pearl, and solid old knife. Love the tipped bolsters too. Real classy in my opinion.
