I'm sorry for the outburst, but myself and other Case lovers get sick and tired of the anti-Case stuff that goes on all the time in various places.

Yes, outsourcing/jobbing is as old as the knife industry itself! And knife companies didn't change their "motto" because someone else made their knives! Sheesh!

I think Jan makes a good point.  Even casual reading about knives shows that competing knife companies made knives for each other, as far back as you want to look.  That's what makes it so difficult.  One might need a PhD to figure out all the knives made by someone other than the what is stamped on the tang.  I think Tidioute made knives for the Case Brothers back in the day, maybe Queen, too.

So, if Case uses someone else to help with demand, or whatever, they have to change their "motto" or whatever you call it? Give me a break. More "let's find something to hate the king of the hill" garbage again! I don't care! I love my Case knives. They give me more pleasure than all the other knives I've bought in many years.....yes that includes GEC! GO CASE!

Okay here's what Michael Prater told me. Corlon(not what he calls it) was developed by him and any knife with Corlon is assembled by his shop. He had several barrels of yellow Case handles in his shop. Now they send him the assembled knives without scales. They are 2 authorized dealers of Corlon handled knives Frost in Tn. and I believe Bluegrass in Ky.. If you are in the Chattanooga area His shop is just a short ride in Flintstone,Ga. One of my daughters use to live only 15 miles from his shop and I've been there several times. They are good people and will greet you with open arms.

I thought the corelon was a Michael Prater product. The few times I have watched a little bit recently usually call it a Prater product. He seems to be doing a lot of different things with Frost knives.

It is my understanding they are made in Bradford and assembled in TN.  TN is still part of the US and Frost has been putting together knives for quite a while so I still do not see this as anything other than the standard type of jobbing that happens all through out this industry

I was asking specifically about Frost, Chattanooga Tennesee. If an unnamed "steel manufacture" is assembling knives, they may be made in the US, but they are not "HandMade in Bradford, PA" Comment by Bob Andrews

I am not sure I like that, I thought they were all made and assembled in Bradford.

Max, some great looking knives.
