Help Identifying a Case Knife

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.

Help Identifying a Case Knife

Post by j516mt »

Hey guys. I recently stumbled on a knife that belonged to my father and tried doing research on it myself, with little success.

The best I've found is that I think it's a Bird & Trout knife and may be from before 1964.

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the knife and maybe give me a ballpark of what it might be worth (though honestly I doubt I'll ever end up selling it.) If it's any help, I can't find any kind of markings on the blade beside "CASE". Thanks in advance guys!

Assuming I'm measuring correctly, the blade is 4 1/8" and the overall is about 7 3/4"
