The Case XX Axe Handle is a standout example of thoughtful engineering and classic American knife making, developed through a special collaboration with custom knifemaker Bill Ruple. Measuring about 4.4 inches closed and weighing roughly 4.2 ounces, it has a substantial, confidence-inspiring feel that’s ready for real work.
At the heart of the knife is a 3.46-inch Tru-Sharp stainless clip point blade, shaped for versatility and everyday cutting performance. The blade opens smoothly, offering dependable edge retention and corrosion resistance. A bright, polished finish highlights the blade’s clean grind and reinforces the knife’s traditional Case character. The Axe Handle pattern provides an ergonomic grip that fills the hand naturally without adding unnecessary bulk.
This version features Amber Peach Seed Jigged Bone handles, bringing warm color and classic texture to the rugged design. The jigging enhances grip and visual depth, while the rich amber tones give the knife a timeless look that pairs perfectly with its modern mechanical construction. Nickel silver bolsters and brass liners add strength and balance, rounding out a build that feels deliberate and well executed in hand.
Designed for those who value innovation rooted in tradition, the Axe Handle performs just as well in daily carry as it does in a serious Case collection. It’s a knife meant to be used, appreciated, and relied on.
