I just ran across a tuxedo in my collection, with a long tail c tang stamp and shield.  Both have randall in the curve of the c.  there are also xxx under the c but more

 * * X X X with the * being blank

Can anyone tell me whats up with this?

Gary

Hmmm, sounds interesting. Post a picture if you can. I'm sure someone can help.

I am challenged when it comes to pictures but will try

It is quite new. I bought it from a dealer in Adel, GA a couple of years ago.

I really did not look at the tag stamp as I assumed it was new.

I was a bit distracted obviously.  Just pulled it out tonight.

Here is the knife

Gary, that is a real looker, thanks for sharing with us

Gary,

Crandall knives were part of the Case family.  John Russell Case's sister Mary Theresa married John Crandall who founded Crandall Knives.  Your knife is an homage to the Crandall part of the Case family.

Ken, Robert, Tobias:  Please forgive the inappropriate, by the standards of one of you,  article before homage.  I spent 3 years in Europe so I learned that homage is o-maj, and the silent "h" allows for the article "an".

Oops, Herbert Crandall.

Yeah Gary, like Howard says, that's a newer Case/Crandall knife.  Very nice!

Thanks for clearing up the Crandall part.  Makes sense now.  What about the date?  I am missing something I'm sure

Those were made in 2007. 

If you do a google search for - case tuxedo crandall - you'll see several listings.

Gary,

great case family knife. The tang stamp is neat as well.

New SHC SFOs.......

Wow Paul, wow. Those new EZ Opens are nice!

Great looking knife, Paul.

The new Caramel Bone is coming out!

Craig, that sounds great. I have a KaBar with Caramel Bone, I love it.

Saw this in an email today

Every year at the Shot Show a few knives are made that only dealers who attend the show and place orders with Case are allowed to order the Shot Show knives. Case only makes the exact quantity of Shot Show knives ordered at this show which makes them very limited. These knives are among the most coveted Case knives by collectors.

I have a good friend that says he saw Case Knives being assembled at the Frost Cutlery place in Chattanooga TN. Anyone care to comment?

Frost has been adding Corelon Plastic handles to Case knives for some time.

This info has been borrowed from the TKC Knives website,

Authorized by Case, Frost
Cutlery has created some dazzling Corelon handles that bring an unsurpassed
beauty to the quality of Case Knives. The results are a beautiful knife that is
ready to handle any job with the ease of Case, at a price you can afford. Add a
touch of Class to your everyday work!

Here's a couple I purchased long time ago,

The Corelon Handled knives are something else entirely. Frost owns the rights to Corelon, Case supplies the knives, the knives are assembled by Blue Grass Cutlery in Kentucky. That's what Fred Feightner, Director of Marketing for Case, told me in a phone conversation a few years ago. My previous post refers to something else entirely. The person told me he saw Bone Handled Case knives being assembled at the Frost Cutlery building in Chattanooga Tennesee.

The Corelon handles aren't "added" by Frost.

Bob, there is also a steel manufacture that assembles trappers and builds some parts for it.  Both of those instances would still considered made in the USA.  If they to outsource to produce the numbers I am ok with it since they are outsource to US jobs.  Jobbing in this industry has been going on since the first factory in the US

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"

Max, some great looking knives.

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.

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 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.
