Notes: This is a new project for Gene. This is a W. R. Case pattern out of my Dad's Case tested collection. It is cut down about a third of the size. In all my research I could not find the pattern number and a couple of experts told me what it was but it did not match up in any of the books. Dad did take it back to Case and a couple workers in the 60's remembered making it, but not many were made. So it is a unusual pattern.

Gene and I also decided to use this pattern to launch a new project which for now is a Plaza Cutlery exclusive. For the first time Gene has used an out side service for help with a few parts. I may have to correct some of this as I do not have it all straight. Bolsters and liners are all one piece and cut by Ken Onion and Jeff Park in Kens shop in Hawaii. Also the blades were profiled but not ground. This saved a lot of work and while many other makers do this on all their knives Gene has always done everything himself and does not plan to change from that. These knives are not sterilized so they are easy to identify and he just putting the year on the back side and his name is in "Arial" printing instead of script. These two have beautiful bone handles and have an optional stainless steel shield. Blades are perfect like all of Genes knives with a perfect finish. Fit and finish is flawless and they also have half stops which Gene rarely does but I requested! Blades are perfectly centered and open easy with nice crisp snaps and will not break your nail while opening. I could not have asked for more. We will be doing different versions of this knife as we work it out and when the economy picks up. So a Shadley knife at this price is rare and it is one of the best values out there! There were a lot people interested at the show here in Costa Mesa as Gene had them out on his table so we are both looking forward to this project as it grows!
