CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESCase XX brings a timeless pattern out of retirement with the 2025 Vault Release: the Baby Doc. Based on the historic doctor’s knife design, this compact two-blade folder blends tradition with refined craftsmanship in a pocket-friendly form. For one year only, Case is releasing the Baby Doc in a range of handle materials, each outfitted with the same practical toolset: a 2.25" mirror polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel spear point blade and a folding spatula, both opened via classic nail nicks. These slip joint blades deliver utility for everyday tasks while nodding to the knife's medicinal roots.
This version stands out with rich black curly oak wood handles that highlight the natural grain patterns in dark, smoky tones. The brass Case shield is inlaid with precision, flanked by polished nickel silver bolsters and brass liners for a warm, balanced finish. At just 2.87" closed and weighing 1.2 ounces, this knife carries easily in the pocket while offering a refined presence that feels right at home on a desktop or in a display case. Like every Case knife, it’s proudly made in the USA—crafted with heritage and built to last.
Only available during the 2025 Vault year, the Baby Doc won’t stick around forever. Once the calendar turns, it heads back into retirement. If you’re building a Case collection or looking for a compact traditional that does more than just cut, now’s the time.
