Answer:

Old Case Knives
Case knives are top quality in workmanship. Many have collectors vlaue. I once found an antique four-bladed Case knife is a school yard that had a bone handle. There are basically three types of knives purchased by those who purchase them for practical uses: Pocket knives, made principally for whittling and gneral light use Lock bladed knives Sheath knives I'm not including such novleties as switchblades or throwing knives The latter two types of knives are designed more for outdoor use. Typically they are more duarble and have high quality steel that enables the knife to hold an edge for a longer period of time than a knife made of softer steel. Pocket knives, by contrast, have smaller, thinner blades. Moreover, their steel tends to be a little softer. Comparable brands to Case would include Boker, Old- Timer and Uncle Henry (both Schrade-Walden tradenames), Camillus and others. Overall, I think you would be pleased with a Case knife. Their quality certainly exceeds such brands as Imperial or Queen.
