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.

Tim that 53047 sure does have some fat stag. Good lookin knives.

Thanks Jeff. Beauty of a knife you have there!!!
Maybe you can clear something up for me. I see knives posted with Mammoth Ivory and Mastadon Bark as handle material.
What is the actual material used? I assume that it is not real Ivory or the treehuggers would be having cinniption fits. Maybe I am incorrect (happened once already this week) on another knife.
In no way, shape or form does my question take away from the beauty of your knife and others posted. They are real pretty whatever the handle material is. Just curious.
Thanks, Jerry

To the best of my knowledge Jerry, Mammoth and Mastadon ivory is O.K. to sell. I have a mammoth ivory 4 blade congress made by case in '06. also , I have a mastadon tooth custom made jackknife. I believe you can buy these scales at any knife supply company in the U.S. I would post pics, but am currently having trouble uploading pics. Tim P.S. SWEET KNIFE JEFF!

Thanks Tim! Honestly had no clue. With all the fancy handle type names used now and the fact Ivory is normally considered taboo due to poaching to get it, thought it might be a reference to a handle color. Not actual Mammoth Ivory.

Hey Jeff,
What I said to Tim and...
I appreciate the pic of the certificate explaining the history. Totally cool!!! Thinking about rehandling a couple of CASE XX era knives and I like the idea of real old, pretty handle material.
What does a knife with Mammoth Ivory cost compared to the same knife/ year in bone?
Real nice new grind!!!
Regards Gents! Jerry

Jerry if I remember correctly SMKW was selling the knife I have for $300. I can't remember if that was retail or sale price. I can tell you though I didnt pay that much for it.

The scales are stag. I've seen better matching work before but it really is a cool looker in person.
Here's acouple more for the thread. I hope you like them.

This is from an anniversary set. It's a nice knife but overall the set was a soaking. My wife bought it for my birthday. I don't want to Dis anybody so I won't name the company in the Tennesee Mountains that she bought it from. They put it to her pretty bad. The postage was more than a good knife cost plus the same set was going for allot less everywhere I looked. She took a beating from them over a KABAR anniversay set as well. I have deleted the TV chanel that airs their prograam so she doesn't get whipped again
Still learning ,I think this is a stockman? Has xx on main blade tang no other visible markings and its missing a bit of handle maybe I can find a fix here
