Case knives have always carried a tang stamp that dates each knife to its year of production, and engraving adds a second layer of history on top of that tradition. An engraved Case knife turns a classic American pattern into a personal gift, a retirement award, or an heirloom that records who carried it and why. Every one is laser engraved in house by the team behind our engraved knives.
Each Case pattern gives a different amount of room for your message. The Case Trapper and Case Stockman offer long blades that fit a full name and date, and the Case Canoe suits a balanced, centered layout. The compact Case Peanut is ideal for initials or a short phrase, while single blade workhorses like the Case Sod Buster and Case Barlow leave a clean, wide flat for longer text. The Case Copperlock adds a locking blade for a gift that gets used.
Pick your knife, choose the Engrave It option, and type your text with a live preview before you order. You can engrave one side or add a second side, and choose from fonts including Arial, Army, Book Antiqua, Copperplate, Monotype Corsiva, and Script. Names, dates, initials, and short dedications all read cleanly, and a gift bag is available at checkout.
Knife engraving is the only thing our engraving department does, with more than 20 years of experience and about 20,000 engravings a year on in house laser equipment. Most orders turn in two business days, and many ship the same day with the engraving already done, far faster than the week or two most factory programs quote.
A Case knife is built to be handed down, which makes it a natural fit for retirements, graduations, Father's Day, weddings, and anniversaries.
