CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Gator Jig Ocean Blue Bone Baby Butterbean Limited Edition Folding Knife proves that good things come in small packages. Proudly made in the USA by Case XX—one of the most respected names in American cutlery—this limited edition Series XXXVIII release offers classic pocketknife craftsmanship in a compact, carry-friendly form. At just 2.75 inches closed and weighing a mere 1.4 ounces, it’s ideal for light everyday tasks, collecting, or gifting.
This Baby Butterbean features two mirror polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades: a spear point and a pen blade. Both open smoothly with traditional nail nicks, and the primary blade is etched with the official “LimitedXXEdition Series XXXVIII” marking. The steel offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it a reliable tool wrapped in heritage.
The handles are made from Ocean Blue Gator-jigged bone—a vibrant, deeply textured material that blends bold color with old-school style. Polished nickel silver bolsters add shine and structure, while brass pins and liners ensure a solid build. Completing the look is an inlaid oval pewter Case XX USA shield, a proud symbol of American workmanship.
Small enough to disappear in your pocket yet eye-catching enough to stand out in any collection, the Baby Butterbean carries the legacy of traditional slipjoints with style and purpose. It’s a perfect piece for those who appreciate fine detail, compact design, and the timeless quality Case has delivered for over a century.
