Finally, the W. R. Case Knife Company seems to be in good hands. The family that has guided the Zippo lighter company through so many successful years has begun to make a difference at their new knife company. They have called back from retirement, skilled craftsmen who are teaching the current crop of cutler's. These new knives look more like those of the 1950's rather than those of the 1970's and 1980's.
Curly Zebrawood is a new handle material for Case®. It is a beautiful wood that is so named because of the zebra-like stripes that run through it. It is a heavy hardwood with a rather coarse texture and a wavy or "curly" pattern. This wood is not often used in production knife handles because of the difficulty of working with it. It has historically been used for veneer for custom furniture and furniture trim and inlays. It is very difficult to plane or machine.
When you held your Grandfather's pocketknife, you probably noticed the slightly smoother feel, the rounded corners and the rivets worn a bit flatter. That's the result of being carried in a pocket for years. By talking a little more time hand-finishing these knives, Case has duplicated that feel. The look and feel is classic, the materials modern.

Tony Bose is, like Bob Loveless, a force of nature. He enjoys a degree of success with his superlative handmade slipjoint and lockback pocketknives that has literally made him a legend in his own time. A shy, quiet, unassuming person, he is a pleasure to talk to if you can get him to open up.

The Hobo is a really old design. It actually began as an eating knife and a spike for lifting morsels, sheathed with a larger knife. The next step was to put a fork and a knife in a folder. Then they worked out methods of separating them. No one knows how long ago that was, only that it followed the invention of forks. I have seen really old ones with two tines. I have also seen them with spoons almost as big as ladles.

Champlin conceived the idea of an American firm making only the highest quality pocketknives and taking for America the banner of best quality knives.
