CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Magician's Rattlesnake/Barbed Wire Antique Bone Sowbelly brings a touch of history and craftsmanship to your collection. Based on a design once favored by traveling knife salesmen, this magician's knife offers two distinct handle materials on either side, allowing you to appreciate two of Case XX’s most popular patterns in one tool. The rattlesnake-patterned antique bone on one side and the barbed-wire embellished antique bone on the other make this knife a striking piece, capturing the essence of old-world charm and utility. Salesmen would use these magician’s knives to create the illusion of a color-changing handle by quickly flipping the knife, adding a bit of showmanship to their craft.
Equipped with three mirror-polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades—a clip point, Sheepsfoot, and spey—the knife provides excellent versatility for everyday tasks. Whether you’re slicing, carving, or cutting, these blades offer long-lasting sharpness and corrosion resistance, ensuring dependable performance. Nail nicks make it easy to open each blade, while the brass liners and nickel silver bolsters give this knife the sturdy construction and classic look Case XX is known for.
At 3.87 inches closed, the Sowbelly pattern fits comfortably in your hand or pocket, making it as practical as it is stylish. This knife is proudly made in the USA, continuing Case XX’s tradition of quality and craftsmanship that collectors and users alike have come to trust.
