CASE KNIVES - 2018 CATALOGUE When I turned six my dad gave me my first knife - a Case sheath knife with a stacked leather handle. I wore it everywhere for years, made forts and countless spears and arrows. After I read “The Hobbit” I wrote the name “Stinger” on the the top of the case with a blue ballpoint and imagined my own knife was like Bilbo’s magical dagger.  At around 12 I had the novel idea to wrap the handle in a long furry strip of squirrel hide from one of the skins I tacked to a piece of piece of plywood and dried on the roof of our garage. I still have the knife and it is now within arms length - mostly relegated to opening letters these days. All this to say that my love of Case knives runs deep, so it was a particular honor to have the chance to work for them - something I could not have even imagined when I was a boy. Thank you to my home-team agency McGarrah Jessee - to Brett Eaton, Avery Graham, Jillian Gamboa and creatives James Mikus, Jeff Ross, and Sam O’Brien for bringing me into the project and the great team effort. Thanks also to our real talent - master leatherworker Seth Stidham, of Stidham Outfitters (http://www.stidhamoutfitters.com), fly fisherman/adventurer JT VanZandt https://www.jtvanzandt.com/, organic farmer Brenton Johnson https://www.jbgorganic.com/ and farrier Will Mikus for sharing their time, stories and love for Case knives. -- source link
