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.

Is that an original two blade or did it have a third blade at one time? I have single and triple blade sowbellies, but I've never seen a two blade before
The "2" of the tang stamp "6239" indicates it is a 2 blade knife.

Bighead that sowbelly is one fine looking knife, love the bone and long pull, any info on it? Can't see the tang stamp on the main, what era is it from?
Drukai that stag peanut is really nice, I like the color of the stag, the sides are quite nicely matched.

I can read that 2, now that I know what it is

I have something that was just delivered, can't wait to get home. This will be my first new Case knife in a few years. I think the most recent ones I picked up were Zippos.
. . . and here it is! Fit and finish are perfect on this, nice weight too. Smooth detent opening, this one is OD Green. First Case since December of 2021.

Wait was worth it.
I think so too. I had one on pre-order back when they were first being released but ended up not buying it. They didn't have this green back then, glad I waited.

That's an odd one. First time seeing one of those.
