New, but I’ll pass

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.

New, but I’ll pass

$150 and apparently not made in USA (I could be wrong)

Just got this email about these new ones… I like the hardwood choices and look

Says “USA” on the blade… so maybe they are made here in the states?

I’m just used to seeing country of origin listed at online sites…

Case is synonymous with made in U.S.A. To my knowledge they only put the Case name on knives made in the U.S.A. When/if I see the Case name on a knife I assume immediately it was made in U.S.A.

I know Case owns the made-in-China Tec-X brand, but those knives don’t have “Case” on them, at least not any I’ve seen.

ya know, for 50 -75 bucks more I can get a custom knife made that FAAAAR surpases that thing. These are overpriced. Seriously, I predict the end of American made case knives is looming. Jeez, what a shame. BUT, it should really escalate the value of good old Case knives.

That wooden finger guard looks to me like it might be easily broken off. Maybe the handle slabs are thicker than I'm estimating them to be, but from my perspective, that just looks like a weak spot.
