The Case XX Cheetah Cub Lockback blends classic American craftsmanship with a bold new pattern, creating a compact knife that’s both stylish and functional. Measuring 3.5 inches closed and weighing just 1.9 ounces, it’s light enough for everyday carry but built with the solid feel collectors expect. The Tru-Sharp stainless steel clip blade has a mirror-polished finish, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a sleek, professional look that’s ready for both use and display.
This knife features a new pattern for Case XX, combining a sturdy stainless steel back lock with a striking nickel silver swing guard. The back lock delivers secure, confident blade lockup, while the swing guard provides added hand protection and a touch of vintage flair. Together, they make the Cheetah Cub as practical as it is eye-catching. Nickel silver bolsters and brass liners reinforce the frame, giving the knife durability, balance, and classic Case XX style.
The handles are Pocket Worn Mahogany Bone, showcasing the rich character and natural appeal of the material. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Case XX’s famous Pocket Worn weathering and distressing process, and these handles celebrate the milestone with a worn, hand-aged look that feels like it’s already seen decades of trusted use. The warm tones and subtle texture make this knife as comfortable in hand as it is beautiful to display.
Proudly made in the USA, the Cheetah Cub Lockback represents Case XX’s dedication to quality, innovation, and tradition. It’s a compact folder with personality, precision, and reliability, designed to perform in the field or stand out in a collection.
