The story of Case Knives is a really feel good story. These enterprising Case brothers began selling knives from the back of a wagon in small western N.Y. villages in 1889. In 1900 they incorporated to form the Case Brothers Cutlery Company. I think it makes you realize that her in America you can become a success at doing something, if you learn to become good at it. Of course determination and a sense of pride at producing a quality product is a huge part of it. They have received many industry and corporation awards and the Case Collectors Club has nearly 18,000 active members.
Case Knives are made with blades stamped from domestic steel and hardened using proprietary heat treating methods. The knife handles are shaped by hand using a variety of natural materials. These handles are made of Brazilian cattle bone, genuine India Stag, Buffalo Horn ancient Mammoth Ivory, Mother-of Pearl, exotic hardwoods and precious stones. Brass, nickel and silver metals are used to make the knives other component parts. Case has a limited warranty on all of its knives which protects against defects in workmanship and materials over the life of the product.
When it comes to pocket knives, Case Knives are on the “cutting edge.” (Excuse the pun.) But they also manufacture some of the finest fixed bladed knives in the world. Case Knives made knives for the US government during WW1. They are responsible for the USMC’s Ka-Bar knife and the V42 combat knife for the Devils Brigade. Astronauts Gus Grissom and John Young used special Case Knives in a NASA space mission.
They really didn’t leave anything out. This is a company that believes in doing things right the first time. With a reputation as one of the finest knife manufactures in the world, I expect them to be around for another 100 years.
