ASI

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.

I have a few case knives that has ASI in front of handle material on box. Does anyone know what the ASI stands for?

Can't say as I've ever seen "ASI" printed on a Case box label...but, if you could post a photo or two (of knives and boxes) might be able to decipher what it stands for. ::hmm::

Could these be aimed at promotional products companies? As in versions only sold to them for printing/engraving? "ASI" is a term that pertains to this in some way, but unsure if it is what is featured on the OP knife in question.

May have something to do with one of these Pennsylvania companies.

Knifeaddict1965. All of mine are natural bone smooth like your label shows. All are copperlocks and were made for case tour events at our local Ace Hardware so I think that is what it stands for. Thanks for the info.
