Case HOBO

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.

You only have part of it. The Case "HOBO" is a fairly scarce three blade hunting/fishing knife set with three interchangeable blades in a special sheath that holds the handle and all three blades. I cannot give you a value since it is missing two blade and the proper sheath. Condition is not the greatest. The other two blades are one skinning style hunting knife blade and one fish cleaning curved blade with scaler back. It is a rare set, you may find someone who needs a handle or the blade you have yo complete a set. The proper sheath is super hard to find by itself, I have never seen just a sheath for sale. You may get more interest in your post if it were on the "fixed blade" forum rather than the Case forum.
