5254s & 6254s

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.

Nice, but still not enough to swing me to the Trapper Club.
Guess once a Stockman guy...
Steve,

From one stockman guy to another ... you might like this mod --->

That I like!
Funny, but the short spay on the stockman doesn't bother me like the trapper's long spay.
Don't know why. Just one of those things, I guess ::shrug::
Take care and God bless,

You're joking, right?

That was a give away by Quick Steel.
Very generous giveaway at that !! Actually, the "rat trapper" is the name of that rare model with the sweeping clip blade (here's a couple on eBay https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... AT+TRAPPER+)
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee

I had no idea. Knew it had to have some value because of the Stag handles, the embellished bolsters and the fact that it's serialized but never would have guessed it was that much.

Nice Trappers all ... I don't have many, other than the usual standard production, but here's one I picked up several years ago; I believe from Shepherd Hills as part of their Civil War Series ...

Nice knife CD. I'd be interested in a post, of the entirety, of the Case description, behind the knife. Very interesting. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Howdy Doc,

The origin of the pamphlet under the knife is not from Case or Shepherd Hills Cutlery, my apologies for misleading anyone. The pamphlet came from a country store in the Shenandoah Valley.

I will send you a PM of it in its entirety ... thanks for lookin'!
