Case

W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is an American manufacturer of premium, hand-crafted knives that are built to be passed down for generations. Based in Bradford, PA, Case's offerings include a wide variety of knives that fit virtually any need, from convenient, traditional pocketknives to fixed blade sporting knives to limited edition commemoratives and collectibles. The company's rich history began in 1889 when William Russell ("W.R."), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. Today the Case Company is owned by Zippo Manufacturing Company (makers of the world famous Zippo® windproof lighter), another family-owned business based in Bradford.
