The Case Kinzua Mission Series Folding Knife BLK/BLK S35VN Spear Blade Aluminum Handle represents a bold evolution of the legendary Case XX tradition, blending modern engineering with the trusted craftsmanship that's made the brand a favorite among knife enthusiasts for generations. Proudly crafted in Bradford, Pennsylvania, the Kinzua Mission Series is part of Case's Modern Everyday Carry lineup, created for users who demand premium materials, dependable performance, and clean, contemporary styling in a hardworking folding knife. The Mission Series takes that modern approach a step further, delivering a purpose-driven design built to meet the demands of everyday carry.
At the heart of the Kinzua Mission Series is a 3.4-inch spear point blade made from premium CPM S35VN stainless steel. Renowned for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, S35VN delivers the cutting performance serious users expect. Finished in sleek black, the blade gives the knife a tactical appearance while helping reduce glare and adding another layer of protection. The versatile spear point profile provides excellent control for precision slicing, utility work, and everyday cutting tasks, making it equally at home on the jobsite, at camp, or in your daily rotation.
Fast, smooth deployment comes courtesy of the integrated flipper tab and precision ball bearing pivot system. A simple push with your index finger sends the blade into action quickly and confidently, while the sturdy frame lock securely holds the blade open during demanding cutting chores. This reliable locking system inspires confidence whether you're opening packages, cutting cordage, preparing camp materials, or handling everyday utility work.
The lightweight black anodized aluminum handle keeps the knife comfortable to carry without sacrificing strength. Its distinctive triple-faceted machining gives the Kinzua a modern, purposeful appearance while enhancing grip and control. Measuring 4.75 inches closed and weighing just 3.46 ounces, it rides comfortably in your pocket throughout the day without feeling bulky. A reversible deep-carry steel pocket clip accommodates both left- and right-handed users while keeping the knife discreetly tucked away until needed.
Named after the scenic Kinzua region of Pennsylvania's Allegheny Forest, the Kinzua Mission Series reflects the rugged landscapes that inspired its design while embracing the future of American-made everyday carry. From its premium S35VN blade and precision deployment to its lightweight aluminum construction and mission-ready styling, every detail is engineered for dependable performance and lasting value. Backed by Case's limited lifetime warranty, the Kinzua Mission Series is built to serve faithfully for years of daily use while carrying the proud legacy of one of America's most respected knife makers.
