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.

Never seen one of those either Phil, but a nice looking knife - let us know how it skins. OH

Posted in another thread but I'm waiting on these three. Should be here by the end of the week or first of next week at the very latest. I have a feeling I'm going to be very pleased with all three.

All sellers pictures of course.
Jerry, unfortunately the doctor's knife had to go back. It turned out to be a single blade (not as originally pictured) and the single blade on the one I received was blemished. But the Tribal Lock and truck with stag Peanut are outstanding. That jungle green camo Kirinite is spectacular, you really need to see it with your own eyes. ::tu:: ::tu::

Bradford was incorporated in 1879.
W. R. Case began in 1889.

I suspect that's a centennial knife for Bradford, PA, which was incorporated in 1879 per Wikipedia. The Case "Tested" centennial knives were produced in 1989 in various sets of pants, including stag. I have a couple examples including this R6243 which sits in my EDC box due to a weak etch and the defect from a pin-spinning incident which you can see on the mark side handle (the pile side has the same defect). I was able to get this knife for a good price a few years back, but most of the centennial knives seem to fetch a premium over a typical example of the same production pattern.

I always liked Case's autumn bone sides - figured it was about time to do up a Ratcliffe in autumn bone ---->

Nice choice on the Autumn Bone...you got some especially nice colors in the bone on your Ratcliffe. The slanted bolsters are a nice touch as well...they compliment the shape of the Wharncliffe perfectly. It would appear as though you have perfected your Ratcliffe mod to factory specs...actually even better, more like custom shop specs.

I wish my Autumn Bone 6207s were 6107Ws...but, alas, you can't always have your (Autumn Bone) cake and eat it (with a wharnie) too!

Thanks guys. That orange looking coating was some old, gummy oil. I found several knives, bought three, all new but shopworn - the grime has cleaned off, joints all oiled and snapping nicely. OH

Swapped for this baby today.
P62-4 1/2
Anyone know what years these were actually in production? The tang stamp indicates sometime between 1965-1980, be nice to narrow it down a little more.

If anyone has a line on an original sheath drop me a PM please.

Picked up a Case Sodbuster and a little Peanut recently. First Sodbuster and I love it's simplicity!! It feels really nice in hand also and reasonably priced. Thanks for looking. :)

Lol. You got that right. I was reading the history of the sodbuster last night and it is styled after the Antique Roman folders. They call it a folding butcher knife. A peasant knife. Neat history on them. I showed it to my boss and he loved it. So I am going to buy him one for his retirement which is coming soon. He is a big hunter and said it was the perfect skinning knife. I used it to cut some veggies for me and the Misses today. I'm glad to have it and don't know why it took me so long to pick it up. Have a great weekend Greg!! :)
