The Case Pro Team is made up of skilled outdoorsmen, craftsmen, and brand advocates who don’t just represent Case knives, they rely on them. From hunters and anglers to everyday carriers and collectors, each member embodies the values that have defined Case for generations: reliability, authenticity, and pride in American-made quality.
What sets the team apart is their real-world credibility. These aren’t just faces in a campaign, they are individuals who put Case knives to work. Whether it’s field dressing game, cutting line on the water, or just everyday use, the Pro Team showcases the performance and versatility of Case products.
As the outdoor and EDC communities continue to expand, the Case Pro Team reflects the foundation of the brand’s longevity; individuals who trust the product, put it to work with intention, and pass that experience on to others.
To showcase the people who represent the Case lifestyle, we’re proud to highlight four members of the Case Pro Team: Brent Reaves, Beau Martonik, Pat Spinosa, and Dylan Fogarty. Each brings a unique background and perspective, but all share a commitment to craftsmanship, reliability, and life in the field.
Take an in-depth look into the lives of these multi-talented outdoor personalities and their favorite Case knives!
BRENT REAVES
Brent Reaves is a husband, father, grandfather, lifelong outdoorsman, and proud Arkansas native with family roots going back over 150 years in the river bottoms of the Southeastern part of The Natural State. Brent retired as a law enforcement officer after over 32 years of service.
Brent is the fourth of six generations of his family that carry Case pocketknives, a tradition that started with his great-grandfather and continues through today. He’s also the host of MeatEater’s popular “This Country Life” podcast.
Brent’s go-to pocketknife is the Case Mini Trapper. “It’s the first knife I remember my father having and the first one he gave to me. It has been a mainstay and family signature pocketknife that people who know us associate with our family. It’s a great all-around knife for skinning game and doing chores around the farm.”
BEAU MARTONIK
Beau Martonik is the host of the “East Meets West Hunt” podcast. He grew up and still resides in northern Pennsylvania, not far from the Case factory. His podcast and company cater to the Eastern America hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist.
After numerous hunts out West, Beau recognized a lack of resources for East coast hunters on effectively planning and preparing for Western hunts. He realized his style of hunting whitetail deer in the big woods of the Appalachian Mountains presented a unique niche for himself among hunters.
Beau’s lifelong passion for Case knives was instilled by his grandfather. “As a kid, my grandfather introduced me to Case by gifting me a Case knife for my birthday or Christmas every year. I remember showing him a different knife once, and his response was, ‘It’s nice, but it’s not a Case.’”
Beau’s favorite knife is the Case Ridgeback® Hunter with natural canvas laminate handles and red G-10 liners.
PAT SPINOSA
Pat Spinosa is an entrepreneur, media personality, and founder of Like A Farmer Media, a fast-growing platform at the intersection of agriculture, country culture, and modern entertainment. Pat has built a loyal audience by spotlighting farmers, athletes, movie stars, and country music artists who embody the lifestyle. Pat started this venture with Bills QB Josh Allen.
With a background in brand building and partnerships, he has worked alongside notable talent and continues to create content for Rural America. For example; his new media venture, Ag to Asphalt, brought in 6-time NASCAR Cup Series winner Ross Chastain as a partner. With ventures like this, Pat focuses on scaling Like A Farmer into a leading media brand while developing new ventures across golf, country lifestyle, and entertainment circles.
Pat’s favorite knife is the Case Navy Blue Bone Trapper.
DYLAN FOGARTY
Dylan Fogarty is a successful high school, collegiate, and major tournament-level bass fisherman. Calling Pennsylvania home, it was difficult for him to break into the fishing world at first, but ever since he has, he’s proven he belongs.
After getting his first taste of tournament fishing at the age of 10 with the Capital City Bassmasters, there was no looking back. Dylan founded his high school fishing team as a freshman and was able to fish in the High School Fishing World Finals, earning two Bassmaster High School All-American titles. Dylan went on to attend Bethel University, a powerhouse in the college fishing scene, and notched countless top 10’s and even a dominant win on Lake Chickamauga against over 275 teams in the Major League Fishing Collegiate Open. Upon graduation, Dylan jumped right into the Bassmaster Open, fishing hard but narrowly missing the Elite Qualifier (“EQ”) series by just 11 points.
Today, Dylan is still in his early twenties and competes in both Divisions of the Bassmaster Opens in hopes of qualifying for the Elite Series after a year on the road.
“My favorite Case knives are the Sportsman’s Series and Micarta Longhouse. Having grown up around Case knives through my grandpa’s collection, I’ve seen firsthand their usefulness and the history behind them.”
