I sure hope we're not going to get bogged down with business world politics here like on other forums. I hate that!

Howard, Case can not legally comment on the situation one way or the other. Lets just say, not all customers were happy (from what I've heard). Maybe Case received too many complaints? Regardless, that type of thing happens all the time in all kinds of businesses. A company drops a dealer for whatever reason. AND, sometimes dealers will drop a certain brand for no reason and no one mentions that. I'm not friends with that dealer so I have no emotional attachment. But I still don't think I'd be upset over a business decision.

Howard, it's caused quite a commotion on the Case Forum. Wesson Ace had many faithful customers that aren't happy and I'm sure it's a large void for many that have done business with Wesson Ace.

Damm, Ken.  Nice campers.  Never had a Case Camp knife - cheap imitation.  No Case dealers close by when I was a kid.  Too late now, Victorinox Camp, etc. knives came to the U.S. and then Leatherman done invented a multi-tool, long since, and I went thataway.

Thanks, Max.  I was having trouble believing that W.R. Case was not a winner for Wesson Ace.  But, if that was the case, one wonders what would cause a rift like that - to lose a money maker for them (Wesson Ace). And, on the Case side, I don't know if you can have too many dealers - i.e. it's costing them shelf space in MS, and Internet space everywhere.

Thanks Max - I wonder how many of those Centennial Knives case made in Camper pattern?? I bought that one from an old time Case Collector.

Howard,

from what I've gathered on the Case Forum, Case and Wesson Ace have parted ways. Seems no one knows why and can't seem to get an answer, just that Case broke it off with Wesson Ace.

Ken, those are some rare beauties and real nice to look at!
