Shepherd Hills began in 1972 when Ida Reid along with her husband, Rea; and sons, Rod and Randy decided to open a small gift shop as part of an already established motel, the Shepherd Hills Motel in Lebanon, MO.  The location was well-known by the Reids as they had operated the Capri Motel in that very same spot during the 1960’s.

Sitting right along the famous Route 66 which became I-44 , the location made it easy to cater to  tourists who were visiting the area or following the advice of the old jingle ♫“See the U.S.A. in a Chevrolet”  ♫ ad campaign that had been popular as people began to explore the states by way of Route 66. 

From the beginning, Shepherd Hills’ hallmark has been to provide high quality products with customer service that is unsurpassed. Genuinely treating customers with the respect they deserve and providing them with an opportunity to buy quality goods at reasonable prices prompted many travelers to stop in each time they came through the area. It wasn’t long before Shepherd Hills became a “must do” as folks planned their trips through the Ozarks.

Accenting the resources of the Ozarks area around Lebanon in the early days, Shepherd Hills became known for their “Walnut Bowls” (as Missouri has over 60% of all the walnut in the nation) and Frankoma pottery
(pottery made by the Frank family in Oklahoma). These were the main lines among other quality items offered by Shepherd Hills that would make a good memento of a trip through the Ozarks.

As time went on, Shepherd Hills added additional locations including those  in Osage Beach, MO, Branson, MO, and Eddyville, KY , and brought in other quality products  to the lineup including Chicago Cutlery and of course Case XX pocketknives-- making the latter also available through catalog mail order and eventually on the web at www.CaseXX.com. 

We have been representing Case XX since the early 90's, enjoying the adventure of  having many Case XX knives made exclusively for Shepherd Hills,  coming up with new designs i.e. “The Beast” our first multi-blade made by Case in 1996, “Big Chief”. “Big Nut”, “Jaguar”  et al., and new handle materials including “Bubba Gum”, “Giraffe Bone”, “Mammoth Ivory”, “Lizardskin”, and “Indian Paintbrush” among others.  And the saga continues today, with the adventure as real as ever---you gotta know we always have a few Case XX surprises in the works.

Lots of things have changed since 1972… but what hasn’t changed is Shepherd Hills’ commitment to quality and the “treat you how we would want to be treated” customer service.  

That’s why we are very happy and proud to be associated with W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery---what we believe is the finest pocketknife you can buy---, working our way to the  honor of the “World’s Largest Case XX Collectible Dealer” .

We want to thank you for helping us  achieve that position and want you, our customer, to know that much of the satisfaction of being in this role is created by having the opportunity to work with the myriad of people we have met , either by phone, email  or in person, that are Case knife enthusiasts or Case knife collectors. 

We can say with confident assurance, cause we know first hand, Case knife enthusiasts truly are some of the nicest people in the world.  We thank you for your patronage and your friendship.
