Pocket Knife History – Case Knives

A bit of history about Case Knives.

When William Russell (W.R.), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them it was along a wagon trail in upstate New York.  This makes Case one of the most collected brand of knives in the world.

To create one Case knife it takes about 125 pairs of hands.  Artisans shape the handles from rare Brazilian cattle bone and Buffalo horn to more delicate substances like rosewood, mother-of-pearl, and stag.  Metals like brass, nickel, and silver highlights each form, bringing together a beautiful knife that will stand the test of time and use.

Case knives are sold exclusively through a national authorized dealer network of hardware and home improvement retailers, specialty cutlery shops, fashion accessory shops, catalog retailers, and others.

Today, Case credits its associates with maintaining its industry position by blending innovative design with an inexhaustible array of materials.  Case’s pioneering spirit is shown in several of its original knife patterns, like the CopperLock, Baby Butterbean, Sod Buster, XX-Changer, Baby Doc, Tiny Trapper and the all-new Hunter Trapper, Tiny Muskrat, and Jr. Scout.

Case has been called upon to make military knives for the United States Army during World War I.  Case knives have even flown into space upon the “Molly Brown.”  Case knife collectors have inspired specially made knives, like the Eisenhower made for President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

For almost twenty years the Case Collectors Club has become the world’s largest knife collecting association.  They provide their members with inside information about new products, Case history and consumer events.  Case has become the undisputed favorite of knife collectors for a variety of reasons including the rich heritage, quality and variety of knives.  The Case dating system also adds to the appeal and collectability.  These knives can be easily identified and dated.  Case has been marking its knives with tang stamps from the beginning.  You can find all the tang marks and the years they were used online.
