wish i could give you all a pic of the stamp but don't have anything good enough quality to get a picture that close.
 
Looks an awful lot like a British Army Knife. Never heard of Case contracting those. Canada maybe?
 
Case set up a joint venture factory in Pictou, Nova Scotia and those knives were produced there. I believe for the Canadian armed forces. Stamping was CASE XX METAL STAMPINGS LIMITED or something similar. They are actually fairly common.
 
It appears to be Case model M346. They were made in the States during WWII and in Canada just post WWII as mentioned. They were made for the US Navy and the Canadian forces. The two Canadian Forces knives are stamped CASE XX METAL STAMPINGS LTD and M.S.LTD XX during and post War respectively. Based on the stamps, your knife was made in Bradford for the Canadians 1942-1945.
