Case repairs

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.

My question is this something case will repair or replace? Which option is better? Or should I try to have it repaired by other sources? The blade has been sharpened. Otherwise great shape. Thanks for your reply
Bham Stan I would give Case a call. That looks like the kind of thing That Case would repair at no charge. Just let them know you want it repaired and not just replaced. Trapper parts should be abundant there I would guess.

Just wanted to share a happy ending to these 3 repairs that you helped me with, especially the replacement blade on the Big Gunboat. The Large Stockmen had a hinge pin replacement and a shield replacement on the other. Thanks for putting me onto Muskrat Man, he did a fantastic job and I couldn't be more pleased! Would highly recommend him! Thanks again to you all, much appreciated! Attached a couple of shots of Muskrat Man's results (his photos, also nicely done).

Good deal. Great save. Carry in good health.
