High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Cheetah Cub Lockback combines timeless Case craftsmanship with a bold, modern twist that makes it stand out in any collection. Compact at 3.5 inches closed and weighing just 1.9 ounces, this folding knife offers the perfect balance of portability and solid, dependable construction. The Tru-Sharp stainless steel clip blade features a mirror-polished finish, delivering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a clean, classic look that’s ready for everyday use or display.
This knife introduces a new pattern for Case XX, pairing a sturdy stainless steel back lock with a striking nickel silver swing guard. The back lock provides confident, secure blade lockup while the swing guard adds both hand protection and vintage-inspired flair. It’s a combination that blends practicality and style, giving the Cheetah Cub a character all its own. Brass liners reinforce the frame, and nickel silver bolsters frame the design with durability and visual balance.
The handles are crafted from Royal Blue smooth synthetic, offering bold color and a sleek, polished feel in the hand. The smooth synthetic scales are durable, comfortable, and resistant to the wear of everyday carry, while their vibrant hue adds a modern edge to this classic knife design. Every element of the knife—from the blade to the swing guard to the back lock—works together to create a compact, striking folder that performs as well as it looks.
Proudly made in the USA, this Cheetah Cub Lockback reflects Case XX’s commitment to innovation, quality, and functional beauty. It’s a lightweight, carry-ready knife that feels substantial, looks sharp, and delivers the reliability collectors and enthusiasts have come to expect.
