5218 HP

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.

Welcome to the forum!

If Case is being consistent, it means the knife has both a sheepsfoot and spey blade.

Eglige Case uses the second letter in the blade name to signify what is on the knife.
H-sheepsfoot
P-spey
E-pen
Sometimes if it has a punch blade Pu after tthe pattern
If it just has a clip and a pen bladeyou will see pen.
