An American manufacturer of premium, hand-crafted knives that have been passed down for generations. Based in Bradford, PA, Case’s offerings include a wide variety of knives that fit virtually any need, from the convenience of a handy pocket knife to fixed blade sporting knives and limited edition collectibles. W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has been in operation since 1889.

Case’s rich history began in 1889 when four brothers - William Russell (W.R.), Jean, John, and Andrew Case (a.k.a. “The Case Brothers”) began fashioning knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. W.R.’s son, John Russell (Russ) Case, a former salesman for the Case Brothers brand, launched W.R. Case & Sons around the turn of the 20th century. Russ’s father acted as his son’s consultant, helping to stabilize the company’s early finances while building a reputation as a dependable supplier of high-quality cutlery.

A unique tang stamp dating system used since the very early days of its history has made the Case brand one of the world’s favorite collectable brands. The Case Collectors Club, with 19,000 active members, is the largest known knife collecting association in the world.
