Conscript 99 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've never heard of them before. My grandfather send me a box of brass, reloading stuff, random cleaning supplies, !PRIMERS!, and an old fixed blade hunting knife. It says CASE just above the hilt, looks like it's about 60-70 y/o. Has anyone ever seen this company? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsc91 9 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Absolutely! I love Case knives. I have a few folders and my hunting knife is a Case. Last I heard they were still produced in Bradford PA. Why not share a photo of it? Edited January 2, 2014 by tsc91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BpS12 512 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Iirc, Case used to be the standard for EDC knives, esp pen knives or the little pocket folders. My Dad still carries one and my first pocket knife was a Case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Conscript 99 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thank you for the info guys. Here is a picture as requested. If anyone has one similar I'd like to know what model and year-range it might be! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sccritterkiller 473 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Case knives are great. My hunting folder is a case its a 6265...bought it at the local hardware store where I grew up in WV 20 years ago. Cleaned stalls for the better part of a year to save up the 75 bucks for it, I was 15 at the time. Used it to field dress and butcher 3 deer this year. IMO they take an edge better then any other knive I have. I have a couple of their pocket knives as well. Check out their website wrcase.com. You may be able to contact them and get some info on yours. Is there a number on the blade above the handle? Very cool knife! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I had one my dad got somewhere. It had the same stacked leather /aluminum bolster as yours, and a blade similar to the classic Kabar. I promptly broke the point throwing it. Stupid 12 year olds. Modern day as near as I can tell the company exists to make canoe knives that are intended for collecting more than using. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brickfield mfg 86 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 One of the guys I go deer hunting with has an old Case just like that. He bought it new back in the early 60's, and has used it every year since. I believe they are carbon steel, and hold a great edge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
