Do YOU have a CASE XX knife in YOUR pocket today?????

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 wish it wouldn't have morphed. I like the clip/pen combo better.

Nice knife from a great guy to a great guy! How's the Franken knife doing? Not the correct thread for the Franken knife, but do you ever miss it?

Are you talking about the Camillus 72 with the cap lifter/screwdriver replacement blade? If so, it's still hangin' with the other 72's.

I was curious as to how thick the covers on this 6137 are. Though I couldn't get an accurate measurement, why not give it some pocket time? I sure would like to see Case trot out a 37 pattern in Micarta.

I do indeed, and it’s a new one to me, a five dot stockman (?). Some other bidder really wanted it, but I managed to get it in the end. Got me pretty good while I was giving it a quick clean and sharpen, but that’s how you know it’s love, right?

Carried this old XX USA whittler today for a walk in the woods. Great snap on all the blades, no wobbles, feels really stout for a smaller sized knife.

I'm not sure if this is the answer your are looking for. But the whole width is 3/8th's of an inch. The actual covers are 3/32th's of an inch. Aprox. ::tu::

Newer soddy jr. today. Don't expect it'll do much more than open a bag of snacks or cut through some steak for dinner but I'm ready for anything.

This Case 2318 PU CS has been getting a lot of pocket time lately as I like it for a fishing knife and the Shad are running. Pictures from earlier this week on the Cape Fear River. OH

This one gets carried in a sheath: a real favorite of mine, the 3137.

Realeye, that Case looks like a real oldie, cannot read the tang though - someone really used the blade. OH

Yea. I bought it off eBay. The seller said it was a Case but I cannot read the
tang even with bright lights and a magnifier. I think it may have been
from 1940's?
