CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Baby Butterbean in Rose-Patterned Ultraviolet Smooth Bone is a compact slip joint folder that balances charm, heritage, and everyday function in a pocket-friendly design. With its stout profile and twin-blade versatility, this small but capable knife is as comfortable in a display case as it is riding in a pocket or purse. It features a 2.75" closed length and weighs just 1.4 ounces, making it a reliable choice for anyone who values lightweight performance without sacrificing craftsmanship.
This Baby Butterbean comes equipped with a mirror-polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel spear point blade and a pen blade, both accessible with nail nicks and ready to tackle small cutting tasks with ease. The Tru-Sharp steel holds an edge and resists corrosion, ensuring this little workhorse stays sharp and ready when you need it.
But it’s the handle that sets this version apart. The Ultraviolet smooth bone scales are deeply engraved with a graceful rose pattern—elegant, eye-catching, and unique to each knife. The deep purple tones shift in the light, offering visual depth that few pocket knives can match. Finished with an inlaid nickel silver shield, brass pins and liners, and engraved nickel silver bolsters with the iconic XX mark, it’s a knife that’s as beautifully built as it is functional.
Proudly made in the USA, this Baby Butterbean is part of a legacy that stretches back over a century. Whether you’re adding it to your collection or gifting it to someone who appreciates American craftsmanship, it’s a knife that carries meaning with every detail.
