Newest Case Pick-Ups

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.

This one just arrived... Looks like a new one. Nice wood scales and a pinned shield.

Been wanting a New Grind 07 for quite awhile...finally found one. Now if only it had a wharncliffe secondary, this would be one step closer to being the perfect Mini Trapper.

Greg, do these have brass liners or iron? I went back and looked at Steve's pics in his posts and can't tell. The pins look like nickel silver in the pictures with the pivot pins brass.

Steve the liners, bolsters and handle pins are all made of iron with only the main back spring pin made of brass . Possibly for ease of spinning the larger head. Steve said it's possible these could have been a military order but no way to know for certain.

Good looking knife Scott! The more I see those ImageXX knives, the more I like them. I suppose I'll end up getting one before too long.

Thanks Greg, I thought that might be the case ( did I say that?). I don't know how many other mint,boxed, wrapped groupings are out there Greg but you have something special there.

That's a pretty incredible pick up Greg, stunning actually. OH
