Subject: case knife



Does anyone know "case knife"? My mom taught us this term as kids. Usually

it was a knife not used for serious cutting, such as for butter, cheese,

etc. I thought later on that it had to do with the German word for "cheese",

since she is from an area of SC (central western) that had lots of

German immigration. Any ideas?
