CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Cheetah Cub Lockback brings a fresh edge to a time-honored name, blending classic Case craftsmanship with a bold new pattern that stands out the moment it’s in hand. Measuring 3.5 inches closed and weighing just 1.9 ounces, this knife is compact, lightweight, and built for smooth everyday carry without sacrificing strength or control. At its core is a Tru-Sharp stainless steel clip blade with a mirror-polished finish, delivering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and that unmistakable Case shine.
What truly sets this Cheetah Cub apart is its smart, functional hardware. A sturdy stainless steel back lock provides confident, rock-solid blade lockup, giving users peace of mind during use. Paired with that is a cool nickel silver swing guard, a standout feature that adds both hand protection and visual flair. This combination of back lock and swing guard marks a new pattern for Case XX, offering something genuinely different while staying rooted in traditional American knife design. Brass liners reinforce the frame, while nickel silver bolsters tie the look together with classic durability and balance.
The handles are crafted from Pink Crackle Kirinite, a tough, eye-catching material that offers excellent grip and long-lasting performance. The vibrant crackle pattern adds modern attitude and individuality, making this knife just as appealing to collectors as it is to everyday users who want something that doesn’t blend into the crowd.
Proudly made in the USA, this Case XX Cheetah Cub Lockback reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to innovation, quality, and heritage, all in a compact, carry-friendly package that feels both familiar and new.
