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.

These are the last four knives I bought. Just got the 18 . Has some really nice handles that match . It’s a USA no dots. Don’t know if I would call it a red bone but both sides have a lot of red.
All beautiful knives, P-chop, but the one with the rounded bolsters really trips my trigger.
Very nice set!

Good evening knife junkies. Had the pleasure of getting this last week. It’s a 6347 in Red Bone with CV. Case did a bang up job with the bone in my humble opinion. Hope the week has started off well for everyone.

Well... I quit Skoal 4/2/09 after almost 30 years.
The knife collection is still growing.

Added this Case 1990 Mini-Trapper 207WHSS 1st Issue with a Serrated Wharncliffe secondary blade to my pile. That Wharncliffe blade looks like a rat's been gnawing on it. I'm not fond of serrated blades in the least but this was an important addition to the group.

There is one thing about Case that stands out, they just do bone and stag so well. There jigging on their bone is a standout.
I couldn’t agree more. Especially the XX and older knives. They are just beautiful.
2007 barlow and a 1979 A6235 1/2. The 35 is only the second smooth bone I've ever gotten....those and a 31 SAB slick black are making me a big fan of knives not jigged....but I still like those too...shoot I'm a little obsessed with them all

This may or may not interest you, i just received a Case 1/2 whittler in smooth antique bone and it is a pearler. I will post the photo of it, but if you really like smooth bone, there is a Case Barlow in smooth antique bone with a spear blade and they look fantastic. Have a look and see what you think.
The last thing I need to do is put another knife on my "want/gonna get" list but I just did it anyway......smooth antique bone barlow added...maybe after i get a 6107W and a 61009 1/2 ....or before...guess it depends on when i find them
