3rd time starting a Classics 55 Collection

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.

3rd time starting a Classics 55 Collection

Post by Wolfeman92 »

As the title says, the Case Classics era of knives keeps bringing me back. Sold my first two collections of 55 patterns, the “Wharnnies” within the last decade and I’m back again! Attaching a couple photos below, hope all you “Caseaholics” are well!

Thanks Redrider,

Some pretty rare ones sitting in that case, 1 of 26 red bone, 1 of 14 red bone, 1 of 19 tan bone with the Long Tail C blade stamps. A Red Bone Stag or Amber Bone stag Prototype, Sectional White MOP/Apple Coral Prototype, and a Stellar’s Sea Cow Prototype. As well as a plain arrow shield smaller 63055, marked “Sample” on the back side.

Grateful to those who have helped me jump back in!

Thanks Bob,

Hated to the first couple of times, and hopefully won’t have to again!

Partial to that pattern and the smaller size, sadly I think I only have 1 now.

Dullest,

I like all three of the sizes, but the big 355’s are my favorite. I always think it’s neat to get the same handle material in all 3 sizes 355, 3055, 30055 and placing them together vertically. Aesthetically pleasing, one might say!
