CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThis Case XX Magician’s Rattlesnake/Barbed Wire Antique Bone Mini CopperLock celebrates Smoky Mountain Knife Works founder Kevin Pipes and his legacy in the knife industry. Exclusive to SMKW, this Mini CopperLock embodies the old magician’s knife concept that was once a staple in traveling salesmen’s demonstrations—crafted with two unique handle designs on each side to create the illusion of a “changing” knife. The result is a piece that balances heritage and innovation, displaying a rattlesnake-patterned antique bone on one side and a barbed-wire embellished antique bone on the other, bringing two of Case XX’s most loved handle designs into one knife.
The mirror-polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel clip point blade offers reliable cutting power for precise work and is equipped with a nail nick for ease of use. This locking blade secures with a stainless steel back lock, offering stability in every use, whether for simple tasks or those requiring a sharp, controlled edge. The brass liners and nickel silver bolsters provide a strong, durable frame and an extra touch of elegance, ensuring that this knife performs while looking every bit the classic that Case XX enthusiasts admire.
At 3.63" closed and a lightweight 2.1 ounces, this Mini CopperLock is ideal for everyday carry yet distinct enough to add interest to any collection. Proudly made in the USA, it’s a testament to Case XX’s commitment to quality and American craftsmanship.
