Extinct Case patterns ...

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.

Here's one that I have had for a few years. Tested 6592. Not as nice as the one in Steve's book as someone used some kind of bondo to hold the back on.

Here's one I bet very few people have seen;no pattern # on it and none of the books I've seen show a picture of it. Best way to describe it is a Tested XX letter opener with coffin handles and a spey blade.

Nice 94 John! Love the 94 patterns. Some of my most prized knives I own.

Like the 5 blader Dino! That would be a vauable knife minus the bondo but I still love it. Don't see those often.

Very interesting knife K7K! Very unique example that looks to be in damn good shape.

TY sir.It has never been sharpened and has but a few very minor rust dots on the folding blade.The letter opener blade is a bit unusual in that rather than being an unsharpened double edged blade it has a sharpened single edge with the other side resembling the spine of a normal blade.
I remember showing it to Cindy and Jim Taylor about 20 years ago at an NCCA show and neither of them had ever seen one.
