About Case
Case offers knives to fit virtually any need, from the convenience of a handy pocketknife to working and hunting knives and specialty cutlery such as the RussLock® which can be opened with one hand and this year's new Mini Trapper with Golf Tool and Hobo® with Spoon. Case offers hundreds of different styles of knives, including many original designs such as the popular CopperLock, Baby Butterbean, Sod Buster® and XX-Changer®.
By looking at the history of W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company, you are really looking at the history of knifemaking in the United States. W.R. Case and Sons Cutlery Company's history began in 1889, in the burgeoning center of the American cutlery industry in upstate New York. The secrets of tempering steel to the perfect heat that gave blades optimum strength and grinding a breathtakingly sharp edge were learned. The Case reputation began to grow. And knives sold from the backs of wagons became the foundation of a great company.
In the beginning of 1902, that knowledge and reputation became the bedrock upon which W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company was founded. By the time the company moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1905, "Son" acquired an "s" at the end, and the most respected name in cutlery was established. The name grew through word of mouth, and the product offerings expanded to include a wide range of knives and straight razors.
Tens of thousands of Case knives went to World War I with U.S. troops, and by the 1920s demand for Case knives far outstripped the original factory, requiring the building of a new facility in Bradford.
