Newest Case Pick-Ups

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.

Yeah, that bone discoloration is pretty strange. The knife was manufactured in 2008 and it wasn't like that when I got it two days ago. It has to be something I did but the only thing I did was lube the joints. I haven't even touched up the edges yet.

The discoloration surrounds the pin on each side. Only thing I can figure is that maybe some of the lube seeped into the pin hole and soaked into the bone from the underside. Strange that it would happen on both sides though.

I'll chalk it up to its first character flaw.

Still a good-looking knife...even with your I.P.A. (Inadvertent Personalized Alteration); it's just a slight cosmetic bruise. At least it didn't turn purple! :shock:

Rick that's a terrible flaw - you better send it to me quick, lest it infect your other knives! ::sotb::
