I've heard of Case Switches, but they were made before in P.A., now the only thing close I can find is some conversions. Now that I think of it, I want some info on these.

Mr. Switchblade
Case offered a few switches. Two of the early models were lever locks, made for them by Henckles, in Germany. The rest of the production switches they offered were made on contract by Schrade, and were almost identical to the Schrade line.
I don't own any Case autos.
There may be pics on this excellent site: http://www.geocities.com/ragtime_red/index.html

I saw a bunch of the lever lock ones at a knife show about a year ago. Totally beautiful but 2000 to 2500 bucks. Wish they still made em.

Switch. No, at that price I didn't ask to click any of them. Was afraid if it broke I'd have to buy it. The ones I saw were the ones that had the lever and spring setup similar to a Hubie, but the part you press was heart shaped. Like the one on Ragtime Reds site Bill gave you the link to above.
