From W. R. Case Knives The Case Edge – Past, Present & Future February 17, 2022 Share Throughout more than one hundred years of history, the Case name has become synonymous with reliable blades which are individually honed by the hands of skilled artisans. During that time, Case has principally used two types of steel to make our blades.

This is one reason why I gave up on case knives. After visiting with a case factory representative about the steel they use. His explanation was that the cv blades were 1085 with some chrome and vanadium. He didn’t have the exact specs for the composition and stated that some could be 1095 steel depending on what their supplier had available.
Actual daily use is where tru-sharp excels. Ok, it isn't S30V or some ultra-hard, ultra-premium alloy, but it's very stain resistant, extremely easy to sharpen on any surface that will sharpen a carbon blade, takes an extremely keen edge, and owing to the thin, slicey blade geometry of traditional knives, it will hold that edge for a long time.
The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York.

As I recall, most seem to be more in the 20-25 degree range (per side). So other than using traditional stones, I was curious whether most users of Case knives just ignore their recommended sharpening angle or is there some sharpening system I have not come across that accommodates Case's recommendations.
The Shark Tooth was manufactured in 1972, 1973, and 1974...but these early knives were not released to the market until 1975. The reason had to do with the original handle material (was to be curly maple) having problems so the knife was held off the market until the material was changed over to Pakkawood.
I love Case knives, but even a $100 Trapper with limited or special scales will still likely be a bit “rustic”. A bit better quality than a Rough Rider from the Far East (Case are Made in the USA) but for more $$$. GEC are better made and the number of scale, blade and body combinations are crazy.
To the best of my knowledge, this shield was most prominently used on Case knives with rosewood handle scales in 2000 and 2001. A relatively recent shield used on knives manufactured sometime after the year 2000. This is one of the first to include colors. In 2000, Case started an interesting marketing campaign with their shields.
