SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Genuine Abalone Cheetah Cub Lockback blends practical performance with eye-catching natural beauty in a compact folding knife that’s built to be carried. At 3.5 inches closed and weighing just 1.9 ounces, it slips easily into the pocket while delivering the strength and security of a dependable lockback. The Tru-Sharp stainless clip blade opens smoothly and locks firmly into place, offering excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Finished with a mirror polish, the blade brings a refined shine without losing its everyday usefulness.
Nickel silver bolsters and the signature swing guard give the knife a classic Case profile, while brass liners add durability and solid internal construction. The standout feature is the genuine abalone handle, prized for its natural iridescence and depth of color. No two handles are exactly alike, giving each knife its own unique character. The smooth yet substantial feel of abalone pairs well with the knife’s compact size, creating a balance of elegance and function. A traditional nickel silver Case XX shield is set into the handle, understated and timeless, letting the abalone speak for itself.
This Cheetah Cub is ideal for those who want a knife that performs reliably while offering a touch of refinement. It’s suited for light daily tasks, special occasions, or as a standout piece in a Case collection. The craftsmanship reflects a knife meant to be appreciated, carried, and trusted.
