Built to withstand demanding use while maintaining dependable cutting performance, S35VN makes this knife a capable companion for work, outdoor activities, and everyday tasks. The black blade finish provides a bold, tactical appearance while reducing glare and adding an extra layer of surface protection.

A simple flick of your index finger deploys the blade with speed and reliability, while the sturdy frame lock secures it firmly into position. This dependable locking mechanism provides confidence during demanding cutting chores, whether you're opening boxes, preparing gear, cutting cordage, or tackling everyday utility work.

The lightweight black anodized aluminum handle offers an ideal balance of durability, strength, and comfort. Featuring a distinctive triple-faceted design, the handle provides a modern look while enhancing grip and control. At 4.75 inches closed and weighing just 3.46 ounces, the Kinzua offers impressive capability without adding unnecessary bulk to your pocket. The reversible deep-carry steel pocket clip allows for discreet and comfortable carry while accommodating both left- and right-handed users.

Inspired by the scenic Kinzua region of Pennsylvania's Allegheny Forest, the Kinzua Mission Series reflects the rugged environment that helped inspire its design while embracing modern materials and precision engineering. Every feature, from the premium CPM S35VN blade steel and serrated cutting edge to the smooth bearing pivot and durable aluminum handle, demonstrates Case's commitment to creating high-quality American-made knives.
