SHOP CASE KNIVESBack by popular demand, the 2023 edition of the Case Red Rattler Medium Stockman returns with the bold character and traditional craftsmanship that made the original release a favorite among collectors. Produced as a Smoky Mountain Knife Works exclusive, this limited edition pocketknife blends classic American knife design with striking visual detail, creating a piece that stands out just as much in a display case as it does in your pocket.
Built on Case’s trusted Medium Stockman pattern, this knife offers the versatility that has made the design a staple for generations. Measuring 3.63 inches closed, it carries comfortably while still providing three capable blades ready to tackle everyday cutting tasks. The clip point blade measures 2.57 inches and serves as the primary workhorse. Its sharp tip and gently curved edge make it well suited for detailed work, slicing, and general utility. The 1.88 inch sheepsfoot blade features a straight cutting edge that excels at controlled push cuts and clean slicing, making it especially useful for tasks where precision matters. Completing the trio is the 1.71 inch spey blade, a classic design known for its sweeping belly and blunt tip, ideal for skinning tasks and smooth slicing.
All three blades are crafted from mirror polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel, a material valued for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Each blade opens with a traditional nail nick and operates on a smooth, dependable slipjoint mechanism. Adding to the knife’s collectible appeal is the special Red Rattlesnake blade etch, giving this edition a distinctive identity that marks it as part of a sought-after release.
The handle is where the Red Rattler truly earns its name. The red smooth bone scales are richly colored and accented with a dramatic torched rattlesnake pattern that creates a bold, textured look. The darkened pattern contrasts beautifully with the deep red bone, giving the knife a rugged appearance that feels right at home in the outdoors. Brass pins and liners provide strength and durability, while polished nickel silver bolsters frame the handle with a refined finish. Completing the presentation is the oval-shaped nickel silver Case shield, a hallmark of authenticity and craftsmanship.
Proudly made in the USA, the Case Red Rattler 2023 Edition Medium Stockman continues the brand’s long tradition of producing dependable knives built with skill and pride. Whether you’re a collector searching for a standout exclusive or someone who appreciates a reliable traditional pocketknife with bold style, this limited edition Stockman delivers both performance and character.
