All events are planned as of 4/15/08 and are subject to change.

Collector Knife Swap Tent
The Collector Knife Swap Tent will be filled with Case knives – old and new.  Guests can get a first hand look at some unique collectables while talking to knowledgeable folks about what to look for when buying a knife.  Bring along your own prized possessions to find out more about the age and value of your knives.  You may find that elusive knife you’ve been looking for!  Space is limited, so it is important to reserve your table(s) as soon as possible.  Collector Knife Swap Exhibitors will be encouraged to set up between noon and 4 pm on Thursday, July 17th.  24-hour security surveillance will be in place.  See the registration form for more details.

Case Roundup Event and President’s Tour Stop
The gates to the event will open at 7 am on Friday for those that want to get in line early for some very limited collectables.  Beginning at 9 AM sharp, two (2) special Case Roundup Event Tour knives (each limited to 50) will be available for sale on the Case grounds.  Associates from the Zippo/Case Visitors Center will be on hand.  Also, the weekend event is also playing host to a President’s Tour Stop, which this year includes appearances by custom knife maker, Tony Bose.  Case President & CEO Tom Arrowsmith and Tony will be signing autographs periodically on Friday and Saturday. 

Apple Peelin’ Contest
Who will be crowned Bradford’s first Case Apple Peelin’ Champ?  We’ll provide the apple; you bring your favorite Case knife to give yourself that extra “edge!”  The winner will be the person with the longest strand of unbroken peel at the end of the contest.  Anyone can participate.  This is going to a fun event for everyone, including the spectators!   

Tony’s Road Show and Knife Appraisals
Your collection is priceless…but how much is it worth in today’s market?  Tony Foster from Wando, South Carolina, knife collector and a leading expert on Case knives, will be on hand to appraise your knives.  Tony has studied the world of vintage knives for over a quarter century. Bring your knives to Tony’s “Road Show” and see what’s made him a trusted resource to Case insiders for so many years. 

Job Case Look-a-Like Contest
Job Russell Case was the patriarch of the Case family.  Some say he was a man ahead of his time.  His image was used by his grandson, Russ Case, to help set a foundation for the W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company.  We pay tribute to Job by honoring the guest who looks most like him with a one-of-a-kind Grand Daddy Barlow.  The “Job-iest” contestant will be awarded the Grand Prize before the live auction on Friday night.  Start growing out those whiskers!

200 Club Exclusive CCC Members-Only Breakfast
We’ve teased you long enough about this “members-only” exclusive.  Saturday morning will begin at 7:30 am with a “members-only” breakfast at Case.  Along with the bevy of mouth-watering food will be some special knives…all set to go home with some very lucky Club members. 

Here’s how the “200 Club” works: Tickets (which are all consecutively numbered) will be offered on a first-come basis with a limit of one ticket per Club member).  From 8:00 – 10:00 am, ticket numbers will be drawn until all numbers have been exhausted.  The number on your ticket may be worth a knife with a handle made of Bone, Stag, Mother-of-Pearl, or an Exotic Stone.  Other more rare knives, including a few prototypes, will be awarded.  Ticket holders must be present to win.  Club members must pre-register for this activity and pay a nominal fee to participate.  See the registration form for more details.
