is this true?

some schlub I work with said that his dad got him an engraved (his name) case from the factory. I've never heard of this. I have yet to see it, btw.

All the Case knives come from the factory with my last name stamped on them!

I seem to recall that Buck used to (maybe still?) let you custom design a 110 somewhere on their website, including engraving the blade.

....just looked, and here's the link:

http://www.buckknives.com/custom_knife_shoppe.php

There's a note there, though, saying Dec 2004 was the last date for doing a custom, so maybe they don't anymore...

That's only temporary until the custom shop is set up at the new Idaho plant.

I don't know about factory direct Case personalizing, but these folks http://shepherdhillscutlery.com/personalized.htm , offer that type of service. They're big Case dealers, they even use Casexx.com as a web address.

Yep... there are lots and lots of them. They are the normal pattern knives but with engraved bolsters (Usually 200 of each made, and each is serial numbered too).

This sort of thing: A Case Bros. Seahorse Whittler

and below, a Medium Stockman and Seahorse Whittler (with a standard Seahorse Whittler in the middle)
