A Timeline of History

As early as the Case Brothers began making knives in upstate New York during the late 19th century, they were also methodically scrawling symbolic designs into their blades. These unique markings became known as "tang stamps". Collectively, the engraved marks found on this series' center bolsters document a timeline of tang stamp designs that span over 100 years of knives bearing the Case name.
