History Of Wr Case Knives

For the Case family the love affair with quality steel dates back to 1889 in Little Valley, New York. Four brothers, William Russell (W.R.), Jean, John and Andrew Case combined their skills to sell knives from the back of a wagon much like traveling tinkers. By 1900 the brothers established Case Brothers Cutlery Company. Eventually each brother would develop his own brand as the sibling partnership dissolved.

By 1905 W.R. relocated his Case knife enterprise to Bradford, Pennsylvania. W.R. Case became a nationally recognized company when the U.S. Military enlisted their help in developing weapons used during World War I. The accolades continued to pour in over the next several decades as W.R. Case pocket knives were used by astronauts and racecar drivers along with Boy Scouts and as premiums for farm implement dealers. Customers continue to order hunting knives to enhance their outdoor experience – and the company grew.

The company boasts that 125 pairs of hands are required to complete one hunting knife in the 21st century. That may be a far cry from the singular craftsmanship of W.R. Case and his brothers, but then again the marketplace today is global with demand for immediacy and quality control.

Today Zippo, another prominent business in Bradford, Pennsylvania, owns the W. R. Case. A museum specifically dedicated to Case knives and Zippo lighters can be found in Bradford. The 15,000 square foot facility allows visitors to see classic and collectible items and provides opportunities to purchase from the companies storehouse of merchandise.

Even Our Wedding Knife Matched Our Theme!

I decided, after looking at many wedding suggestions, to have a themed ceremony and reception party. Now the decision was which theme to use. It sounded like a lot of fun to have a country western themed wedding. I thought maybe we could have an old fashioned barn dance at the reception. Then there was the seasonal wedding themes, and since we were getting married in the summer, I thought about a beach wedding. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. There were a lot of themed weddings and receptions to consider. There were all kinds of accessories and supplies for themed weddings, from decorations to a gorgeous wedding cake knife set. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.

Now it was time to look for the fairytale themed accessories and supplies I needed for the theme I chose. First I ordered the lovely wedding invitations for our wedding guests. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted a wedding fit for Cinderella. First I needed to get the decorations I wanted to use in the church. Tulle swags were draped from each row of pews with a bow of satin pinned on each end. Tall vases filled with flowers were all around the altar, and tapered candles in fairytale holders were place on the sides of the unity candle.

As our guests entered the church they signed their names in our fairytale themed guestbook, which was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t have dreamed a more perfect fairytale ceremony than the one I had. The flower girl and ring boy did a wonderful job at the wedding ceremony and really looked elegant in their wedding attire. We took a carriage ride to the reception, just like Cinderella and her Prince left their ceremony.

The reception hall was really beautiful with all the lovely flowers everywhere and the lovely tables all set up with crystal and silver. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. I found these very exquisite castles to use as place card holders on the reception tables. I also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.

All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It had all the elegance of a king and queen. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. They have everything where I bought our reception supplies, even the perfect wedding cake topper in a storybook theme for our gorgeous cake. There was even a storybook wedding cake knife with lovely designs on the handle. I really liked the wedding knife, but the wedding knife set with the server was what I decided on. The knife set just added to the décor of our wedding cake and topper.

After we were toasted with our lovely crystal champagne flutes, it was time for the bride and groom to have their first dance together as man and wife. We danced to our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one. After our song was over, couples filled the dance floor, for the next song. I’m glad I bought the gorgeous fairytale photo album to store my wedding pictures in, because I’m going to have quite a few of them to treasure. Many of our friends and family commented on what lovely storybook favors we had given them as gifts.

Our wedding and reception was truly unbelievable and I know now that fairytales can come true.
