Here are a couple more of my favorite Case knives. The top two are an abalone Bose lock back whittler and the other is a Bose stag muskrat. The lower two are V-42's. The upper V-42 is a reproduction that I bought about 10 years ago and the lower one is an original V-42 that I got from my Grandfather. Grandpa was a WWII civilian army employee who did labor relations so he obviously was not issued a special forces knife. We really don't know how he got it or the 1911 45 ACP pistol I also have. I think he probably got them from returning GI(s) who he helped get into Harvard. He as a Harvard grad and did a lot of recruiting in the Pittsburgh PA area.

WOW, WOW, WOW! What a great memory and family heirloom. How fantastic that she kept up with it all those years. Thank you for sharing it with us

Your grandfather, helping returning soldiers get into school. That would be a great way to have obtained the pieces.

The only actual Case I have. This was my Grandfathers given to me just recently by my dad. Said he probably bought it just a few years before I was born in 61. A special Case to me.

That's a special case for sure Tim. I'd love to have my grandfathers knives.
