Case XX 6111 1/2 L

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.

Nice knife Pile Driver. I have looked at Craigslist a few times but found
nothing I wanted. Looks like the knife is in great shape and could
do a lot of work for you.

Very nice Cheetah! I suspect that you did really, really well. I know that I'm being awfully nosey, and I hope you don't mind, but what did it set you back? ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

I did alright, it was in a box of a few dozen knives for 500 bucks ended up with a napanoch elephant toe a Cattaraugus mechanical pencil a Cattaraugus ebony jack with a private company advert acid blade etch and some other goodies, an eclectic mix some not so great stuff too take the good with the bad.

Well done! Yes, I would say you did all right. Depending on condition the Napanoch toe may be worth more than you paid for the whole lot. :D

Sweet knife for sure. Congratulations!
