what is the rarest case knife you have??

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.

Not my knife,but a guy had this at the Queen show showing it around.It wasn't for sale and the blades aren't the best.He thinks Case and Son.I think Sons.But the bone says it all.

I am new to this site, so please bear with me. On January 17, 2015 jlw257 posted a Case Tested 5391 Stag. Now those are really hard to find. I have an XX 5391 Red Stag that is just gorgeous, but have never been able to find another. I am going to have to learn how to post pictures on here because I would like to show off my W.R.Case 5 blade Sowbelly in great condition. It has Winterbottom on one scale and Green Bone on the other and Case has said that this was done at manufature. Anyway, I will learn how to post photos. Thanks for bearing with me.

Wow Dave! I like it. ::tu:: I don't know what it's worth but pretty rare to see a Kinfolks folding knife in my experience. I know they made em. I've been on the scout for a nice one but all I ever see are the fixed blades.

Glad you are happy with it Greg
