Arcadia Publishing W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company History Book

In 1905, John Russell “Russ” Case brought the fledgling W. R. Case & Sons Company to Bradford and it dominated the knife industry for the next century. From kitchen, hunting and pocket knives to the V-42 Stiletto carried by U.S. Army soldiers in World War II, Case knives have been not only a tool but also a trusted companion for generations. Still handcrafted in Bradford, Case knives are the most collected knives in the world. W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company contains photographs of Russ Case and his family, the factory, special knives, Case collector events and even the Case car. Rare finds from the Case archives, employees and family members help chronicle the company's incredible history.
