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.
Here is a pre-dot 17 pattern I picked up at the Parker show. A dealer had it in his junk box.
Original bone was mostly gone, and lots of blade loss. But the frame and snap were still good.
Contacted Bob P. (elvis) about a re-handle. He used some bone he had on hand and spit shined her
inside and out. I believe this is the second oldest knife in my EDC rotation.

Y'all are a tough crowd. I mean, I realize my accumulations don't compare to most on aapk,
but I would of thought Elvis' craftsmanship would be worthy of comment ....

Hey Royal, I just saw this, busy week. That's a fine looking loom fixer there! Elvis did an outstanding job, just excellent.
I only have one custom loom fixer. It's a 10 dot (1970). It was well used, had some blade loss, and NO scales at all. So I sent it to Orvet along with a piece of hickory out of my Pa's old smoke house from the last time he cut wood for hog killing. Here's mine.

Is that bone from Culpepper?
Indeed it is Dale. It's their Ruby Red, but I forget the name of the jigging pattern on this one. And thanks for the nice words everyone and also for not mentioning the proud pin on the shield. I'd rather leave a proud pin like that one than grind too deep and ruin the looks of the shield. It's not a perfect solution, but at least it has a chance of pocket wear taking it down a bit. (Hey Chris: From the pictures, it looks like I neglected to clean the buffing rouge from the jigging. Rubbing alcohol and an old toothbrush should get rid of it quickly.) Maybe I should've taken a picture of it to catch these things before I sent it.
