*'''I think this article should be kept.''' I am a highschool student and I had to use this article just today to find out what case knife meant. Lower case "case knife" is used in some books, like "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain. The meaning of this word is not commonly known.

  • 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) Based on links below I think this might be better handled as a disambig. Mangoe (talk) 21:56, 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]
