Were Clauss Knives Made by Case ???

[herbva]

I have owned a few Clauss knives in the past (Clauss Cutlery, Freemont, Ohio) and was surprised to learn from this well-known ebay seller that these are really Case knives. Is this really true? Also doesn't the price seem a bit steep?

Case made some knives for Clauss as did numerous other companies. Here’s one of several threads here about Clauss. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=22652

The specific knife you’ve asked about looks to me like a Queen. That seller will say and do about anything if he thinks it would get him another dollar for his mostly overpriced and often fake wares. JMO

I've got one here ........ I'll take three thousand for it.

I would not buy any knife from that seller because some of his knives are well done fakes. 'Well done' = you need to know some quite specific details to spot it as a fake.

Seller has been pitting insane prices on many of his knives lately, and like KJ says BEWARE of any knife seller has, he specializes in modified, messed with, and outright fake knives. Many Clauss fixed blades were made by Kinfolks at the time Kinfolks was making all the fixed blades for Case so many Clauss marked fixed blades will be identical to Case marked fixed blades.

I agree with Ken, posted knife was made by Queen City.

Clause had at least 5 or 6 companies make their knives.
