Unforeseen, unexpected, and unwelcome, the Historic Nashville Flood of 2010 was declared a “once in 500 year flood” by public officials. Due to the flood, the Shepherd Hills Cutlery store in Opry Mills Mall was forced to close, along with the entire mall.
At that time we had lots of requests from customers wanting to buy a Case XX Knife that was actually in the flood. So, as a marker of the history of our times, W.R. Case & Sons restored 100 of the knives that were actually under the waters of the flood to be like new. Each knife was embellished with the color version “The 2010 Historic Nashville Flood” blade etch.
There were only 100 of these historic knives.
Ten of them were awarded to the crew who worked long, hard hours to get the Shepherd Hills Opry Mills store cleaned up after the flood. A portion of the 100 Historic Flood Knives were put up for bid in a silent auction exclusively for SHCC members, a portion were put up for online bidding, and the remainder were put up for bid in a silent auction at the Case Celebration in the Ozarks for the general public.
The three knives now available in this online auction, were knives that were “spoken” for in one of the above auctions but were never claimed.
