W.R. Case and Sons Cutlery Company ( Case Knives )
introducing a first-rate “gentleman's companion” that Case calls the
SlimLock. Six of these exceptionally-crafted liner locking
designs make up the new John Russell Case Summit Collection, each
featuring top-quality handle materials and a palate of high-end
features including a unique drop-point blade design. The Drop-Point
blade is flat-taper ground and made from domestic BG-42 steel; a
bearing-grade composition with added carbon and vanadium to give
improved strength and increased edge retention. Case knives has
integrated a precision-locking pivot screw to an enhanced bolster
design that adds stability and life to the SlimLock. A thumb stud
provides safe and convenient one-handed opening.
Case Knives credits John Russell (“Russ”) Case with
providing the inspiration for the SlimLock. The son of the company's
namesake, William Russell (“W.R”) Case, Russ was known for adopting the
latest heat treatment techniques and incorporating new and exotic
handle materials into his knife designs during the early twentieth
century.
