SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case "Snakeskin" Muskrat in Smooth Antique Bone with Bullet Shield is a nod to traditional American craftsmanship, tailored for those who appreciate classic pocketknife design with a bold, collectible twist. Whether you're an everyday user or a lifelong collector, this knife brings utility and timeless character to your pocket.
Featuring two 2.88" Tru-Sharp surgical steel clip point blades, the Muskrat pattern is built for controlled slicing, skinning, and fine detail work. Tru-Sharp steel offers enhanced edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for daily carry and long days in the field. Each blade opens with a traditional nail nick and folds smoothly into place thanks to the slipjoint mechanism—sturdy, dependable, and true to its roots.
The standout feature of this knife is the handle. Crafted from smooth antique bone and finished in Case’s exclusive "Snakeskin" pattern, the scales offer a unique visual depth that sets this model apart from other traditionals. Rich tones of earth and amber ripple across the bone surface, with the iconic bullet shield inlaid on the front—an homage to Case's legacy and enduring American style.
Measuring 3.87" closed, the Muskrat slips easily into your pocket, pack, or gear bag. It carries light but handles big tasks when you need it to. The mirror-polished bolsters and nickel silver pins give it a refined finish that speaks to the quality behind every Case knife. Each knife is proudly made in the USA and hand-assembled by skilled craftsmen in Bradford, Pennsylvania—a tradition that spans generations.
Whether you’re skinning small game, opening packages, or adding to your Case display, the "Snakeskin" Muskrat is a standout piece that blends performance with heritage. It’s the kind of knife you pass down, the kind that tells stories, and the kind that still earns its place in your pocket after decades of use. Order it today from SMKW!
