SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case 05 Razor Pattern is a piece of American tradition brought to life with timeless craftsmanship and attention to detail. For 2024, Case is spotlighting this iconic design as its Vault Pattern, allowing knife enthusiasts to acquire this classic Barlow-style razor folding knife in an array of finishes and handle types that won’t be available forever. Made in the USA with care and precision, this knife embodies the legacy and enduring quality that have made Case a trusted name for over a century.
Built with Case's premium Tru-Sharp surgical steel, the razor and pen blades offer impressive sharpness and long-lasting durability. The mirror-polished finish on each blade not only enhances their aesthetic appeal but also makes them resistant to corrosion, helping maintain that pristine look over years of use. Both blades are equipped with nail nicks for easy opening, ensuring you’re always ready to tackle the job at hand, whether that’s everyday tasks or more demanding work.
The handle is where this knife truly stands out. Crafted from Caribbean Blue jigged sawcut bone, it captures a unique blend of rugged texture and refined color that recalls the vibrancy of coastal waters. This handle material has been meticulously jigged to create a distinctive sawcut pattern that offers both an eye-catching design and a reliable grip, even in less-than-ideal conditions. Adding to the structural integrity of the handle are brass pins and liners, which provide a warm contrast against the cool blue tones of the bone. Nickel silver bolsters and the classic Case shield—also crafted in nickel silver—complete the handle with a touch of polish and heritage.
At 3.88 inches closed and weighing in at 3.5 ounces, this Case Razor Pattern is both compact enough to be a convenient everyday carry and substantial enough to feel secure and solid in hand. Every element of this knife, from the high-grade materials to the carefully executed details, reflects Case’s dedication to making a tool that serves its owner well for years, while also appealing to those with an appreciation for timeless, all-American craftsmanship. This is a knife designed not just for utility, but as a lasting piece that holds its value over time, whether it’s in your pocket, your toolkit, or your collection. Order it today from SMKW!
