SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Black Curly Oak Wood 3-Blade Sowbelly Folding Knife is a compact, versatile folder built for collectors and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate traditional American craftsmanship. Measuring 3.87 inches closed, it combines classic styling with practical functionality, offering a full set of blades in a manageable, pocket-ready design. The knife features three mirror-polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades—a clip point, sheepsfoot, and spey—each equipped with nail nicks for smooth, controlled opening. These blades deliver excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, making them ready for detailed work, everyday tasks, or field use, all while maintaining Case’s reputation for precision and durability.
The handles are crafted from black curly oak wood, displaying striking natural grain patterns that make each knife unique. Brass pins and liners reinforce the construction, while nickel silver bolsters and an inlaid nickel silver Case XX shield provide strength and classic elegance. The ergonomic shape ensures a secure, comfortable grip, giving the Sowbelly a balanced feel in hand despite its compact size. Every detail—from the blade grind to the handle finish—reflects Case’s commitment to quality and thoughtful design.
Proudly made in the USA, this Sowbelly embodies the blend of functional engineering and aesthetic appeal that has made Case knives iconic. It’s ideal for collectors, outdoorsmen, or anyone who values a versatile, traditional folding knife built to perform and endure.
