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.

I hear ya! I’ve had pretty good luck at gun shows. A couple I’ve fished out of the bay for decent prices. They’re out there. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

I'm with you jmh, I'm always on the look out for one but just haven't been in the right place at the right time. Good for you Wade and to carry it too.
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark
I've had a real reawakening to the Case brand these last few months especially these 2 the sowbelly is my first of this pattern ... but won't be the last & the large stockman I've had for years but hardly gave it a second glance because of the bay-poo yellow handles ... After a dye job I cannot put it down.
