Weak Delete Searches for "Case knife" online produce a bunch of hits for knives made by W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company but little else. If this term is one widely used, and some history or other fleshing out of the article can be provided to show it can be more than a dictionary definition, I will change my vote to Keep but as it stands, I agree with nomination that Wikipedia is not a dictionary and weakly support deletion.

Delete As Theseeker4 says, this is essentially impossible to google. I've never heard of such a thing, especially since it has a perfectly good name already ("table knife"). Lacking any reference, I think there is good reason to believe that this is a hoax. Mangoe (talk) 16:41, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to Knife#Knives_as_utensils as an alternative, regional term for "Table Knife", if in fact it actually is. LinguistAtLarge 18:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. WordNet has two definitions for "case knife". One meaning table knife, and the other meaning sheath knife. Should case knife be a disambiguation page? LinguistAtLarge 18:16, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Needs to be referenced and clarified. Dictionary definition #1 indicates case knife is a sheathed knife, which seems to contradict the explanation in the article. But I think the subject would be good to have an encyclopedic entry on. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
