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.

Great knife Justin!!!!!!
Love a pocket carry Hunter myself. Great old knife my friend.
Ken, Indian Trail bone? Never heard it called that. Always referred to it as Worm Groove. Not bagging on you my friend, just never heard that before. Do tell.

Sorry my friend, I was remiss. Not much into newer CASE but that is a good looking knife! I like the wharncliffe better than the long spey that went to in the late 70s'. But, I agree, pen is king.

Thanks Jerry, it would have looked better had I wiped the oil off the blade before waxing it. :lol:

Jerry, I believe "Indian Trail" is a term originating with the Rogers Manufacturing Company, makers of Rogers Bone. It's found on some if the older knives made by Case, Cattaraugus, and Robeson, maybe others also. Case typically used it on hunting knives, mostly fixed blades but also some of the larger "folding hunter" patterns. I've seen it described as being like worm groove jigging but having longer grooves. That's probably subjective since I'm not sure what "longer" means. ::shrug:: On Justin's knife the grooves extend just about from bolster to bolster, hence my calling it Indian Trail bone.

Here is a link to a Bernard Levine article about Rogers bone - see the 6th paragraph from the top, where he mentions "Indian Trail" bone.http://www.knife-expert.com/bonehand.txt

And with that I believe I've just told you all I know on the topic! :lol:

Many thanks for the gracious comments on my knife. It is in great condition, but it has been very lightly used. The clip blade is about 1/16" short and the blade edge on the spear has a couple of tiny nicks in it. Regardless, I'm very grateful to add it to my collection. This pattern is extremely difficult to find in good condition.
