The Case XX Axe Handle stands out as a bold expression of American knife craftsmanship, born from a special collaboration with custom knifemaker Bill Ruple. Measuring about 4.4 inches closed and weighing roughly 4.2 ounces, it has a solid, confident feel that speaks to serious use rather than novelty.
At the core is a 3.46-inch Tru-Sharp stainless clip point blade, ground for everyday cutting tasks and finished to a bright polish that reflects Case’s long-standing attention to detail. The blade opens smoothly, offering reliable performance, excellent edge retention, and corrosion resistance you can trust in daily carry or field use. The Axe Handle pattern provides a natural, ergonomic grip that fills the hand without feeling bulky.
This version is outfitted with rugged 6.5 BoneStag handles, giving the knife a bold, organic look with rich texture and natural variation. No two handles are exactly alike, adding character and authenticity to each piece. Nickel silver bolsters and brass liners complete the build, reinforcing the knife’s durability while maintaining a traditional Case aesthetic.
Built for those who appreciate innovative engineering wrapped in classic materials, the Axe Handle is equally at home in a working pocket or a serious Case collection. It’s a knife that invites use, rewards handling, and holds its own among more conventional patterns.
