This stamp was used by Case Brothers Cutlery Co. in their Little Valley N.Y. plant. The Little Valley factory reportedly burned in 1912 and the cutlery then moved to Springville N.Y.
This is not the same company as W.R. Case and Sons that started production in Bradford PA. in 1905.
Information on early Case stamps can be found in these as well as many other books.

The secondary blade in the middle pic looks to be double stamped.
