CASE PRO-LOCK II

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.

CASE PRO-LOCK II

Post by Ridgegrass »

This knife seems to be a departure from anything I think of as CASE. It's an eight dot 'Lightning", shoulderless grind, integral bolster, brass pivot pinned, no handle pins, bolster-stamped logo, lockback, about 4-3/8" closed. I've never seen any others. Just an odd knife to me. J.O'.

These knives were kind of an oddity for Case. They were introduced in 1983 and in production until 1985. Widely distributed to dealers but not well accepted by users.

DOGLEGG: Feels lousy, sharp, square edges, odd angle of attack for any kind of use. Maybe Case was feeling the pressure from Asian imports. Not to offend anyone but it's just not a knife I'd care to carry. If anyone is trying to complete a set I'd probably trade it off. Appreciate the replies. J.O'.
