SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Cheetah Cub Lockback blends classic Case heritage with a fresh design that sets it apart from anything that’s come before. Measuring 3.5 inches closed and weighing just 1.9 ounces, this compact folder is easy to carry while still offering the solid feel serious knife users expect. The Tru-Sharp stainless steel clip blade features a mirror-polished finish that delivers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a clean, traditional look that never goes out of style.
This knife stands out as a new pattern for Case XX, pairing a sturdy stainless steel back lock with a distinctive nickel silver swing guard. The back lock provides confident, secure blade lockup during use, while the swing guard adds both visual appeal and functional hand protection, giving the Cheetah Cub a unique blend of old-school flair and modern reliability. Nickel silver bolsters frame the knife with classic contrast, and brass liners reinforce the build for long-term durability and balance.
The handles are crafted from Platts Jigged Yellow Bone, bringing bold color and deep texture to the design. This traditional jigging pattern offers excellent grip and a time-tested look that reflects Case’s long-standing commitment to natural materials and American knife-making tradition. The bright yellow bone adds personality without sacrificing authenticity, making this knife equally suited for daily carry or display.
Proudly made in the USA, the Cheetah Cub Lockback represents Case XX’s ability to honor its roots while pushing into new territory with innovative patterns and thoughtful design. It’s a compact knife with big character, built to perform and built to last.
