Case Tested Lady Leg Handle Material?

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 Tested Lady Leg Handle Material?

Post by dodgin2 »

I know that Christmas Tree handles are 4 colors red, green, gold and black. This old Tested Case handles are only green and black is there a specific name for this material. Thanks, Ben

That is not a real Case. Looks to be a cobbled restamped knife.

The nickle silver boot bolster on a real Case Tested knife should be longer. The blade should be a long pull. Never seen that type of Christmas tree celluloid handle material on a real Case. Pen blade should be behind the master blade.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
