These smooth, yellow synthetic handles are built to take abuse. The blades are stamped from chrome vanadium steel, a special formula of alloyed cutlery steel which takes little effort to resharpen. The famous yellow synthetic handle goes all the way back to the earliest days of Case Cutlery. But why yellow? Drop your knife in some brush or along a wooded trail sometime and you'll have your answer. The yellow was a precursor to today's fluorescent colors. You can bet the bright yellow color was a godsend to farmers, ranchers, fur traders and other folks who were prone to dropping or misplacing their knives. Today, the Case yellow handled knife is appreciated as much for its rich heritage as for its original practicality. But that yellow handle...it's still as helpful today as it was way back when.

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.
