If you look at the most recent site for WR CASE they have about a two minute video of their knives and company.

Nice ad,nice company,nice folks. I toured the CASE factory after BLADE in 2009.

Wayne,
Went up there around that time when the Case Collectors Club had their member yearly get together. Took us around to some of the old knife factory locations, the cemetery where some of the Case family members are buried, had an auction / bbq dinner, tour of the Zippo site, and tents set up for buy / sell / trade. It was a good time.. I should do it again smile

I saw it too late, but it could be Steve Schwarzer or Don Hanson III or one of their students. Some of his photos are here

Finger-opening pin and general style very similar to Steve

Yesterday I spoke with Steve Schwarzer, it seems that this is not his job, but he set the direction for further searches

Lol, here everything turned out to be more difficult:

Quote:
The blade is Robert Eggerling “Quilt “ Pattern Mosiac Damascus. The pattern is probably at least 10 years old. The bolsters don’t look familiar and could be by another maker.
Eggerling Damascus Steel


Someone bought a strip of Damascus steel from Robert and used it on a blade. I think that if you talk to the guys from the ABS forum, they can help with a more accurate definition of the manufacturer of bolsters. But there is an option that it was just some novice master who made it from purchased materials.

I digress a little from the topic. Here is my current favorite. Made in 2003 +1/-2 years from 440C steel. Blade 80 mm, glass-blasted, I don’t know the type of wood, but something tropical, axis lock. Local craftsman Sergey Shirogorov, this was done in his apartment, before they started using CNC. Very smooth movement
