Where are Case Knives Made?
According to Case, a majority of their knives are still made in their Bradford location. Today, some of their knives are produced outside of the United States. Some of the materials utilized in some of the knife handles and scales are also imported, particularly those of the exotic hardwood variety.

The company offers a wide variety of knives in multiple product lines. Styles of knives range from fixed, folding, assisted open, locking, flipper, and culinary type knives. Specific categories and product lines of knives include Case’s heritage, signature, modern, sporting, specialty, and case club knives. Most of the knives made by Case are of a traditional folding design which tend to feature one or two different blades. Case does a good job of describing the optimal use case for the blade(s) included on their offerings. For example, the Spey type blade is described by Case as being optimal for hunting, everyday tasks, and farming use cases. The specialty options offered by Case range from commemorative versions of their traditional knives to the company’s rendition of a USMC Ka-Bar style knife.
