The Case Kinzua Mission Series Folding Knife BLK/BLK S35VN Tanto Blade Carbon Fiber Handle brings together premium materials, modern engineering, and the trusted heritage of Case XX to create an exceptional everyday carry folder. As part of Case's Modern Everyday Carry collection, the Kinzua Mission Series represents a new generation of American-made knives designed for users who demand top-tier performance without sacrificing style or carry comfort. Proudly crafted in Bradford, Pennsylvania, this knife is built to excel whether you're on the job, at camp, or handling everyday cutting tasks. The Mission Series combines purposeful design with premium construction for a folder that's ready for whatever the day brings.
Its 3.4-inch tanto blade is crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium blade steel known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Built to withstand heavy use while maintaining a razor-sharp edge, S35VN offers dependable performance in a wide variety of cutting applications. The black blade finish gives the knife a clean, tactical appearance while reducing glare and providing additional surface durability. The reinforced tanto profile is especially well-suited for piercing and hard-use cutting, while its straight cutting edge also delivers excellent slicing performance for everyday utility work.
One-handed deployment is fast and effortless thanks to the integrated flipper tab and precision ball bearing pivot system. A quick push of the flipper sends the blade into action with smooth, reliable speed, while the robust frame lock securely holds it open during demanding tasks. This dependable locking mechanism inspires confidence whether you're cutting rope, breaking down cardboard, preparing camp gear, or tackling routine work around the shop.
The lightweight carbon fiber handle perfectly complements the premium blade by providing exceptional strength while minimizing overall weight. Its distinctive triple-faceted design creates a sleek, modern appearance and offers a secure, comfortable grip for extended use. Measuring 4.75 inches closed and weighing only 3.46 ounces, the Kinzua is easy to carry all day without weighing down your pocket. A reversible deep-carry steel pocket clip keeps the knife discreetly and securely in place while accommodating both left- and right-handed users.
Named after the scenic Kinzua region of Pennsylvania's Allegheny Forest, the Kinzua Mission Series embodies the rugged spirit of its namesake while embracing the latest advancements in knife materials and manufacturing. Every detail, from the premium CPM S35VN blade steel to the lightweight carbon fiber handle and smooth bearing-driven action, reflects Case's commitment to building dependable American-made knives for modern everyday carry. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the Kinzua Mission Series is designed to provide years of reliable performance wherever your adventures take you.
