CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Pacific Tides Kirinite Mini CopperLock blends dependable utility with a striking, wave-inspired design. This knife features a 2.72" clip point blade crafted from mirror polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel, built to hold a fine edge and resist corrosion through years of service. A classic nail nick allows for smooth manual opening, while a rock-solid stainless steel back lock keeps the blade securely in place once deployed—ideal for those who want the traditional feel with added safety and strength.
What sets this knife apart is its handle. Crafted from Pacific Tides Kirinite, it features dramatic swirls of deep blue, jet black, and clean white—reminiscent of shifting tides under a storm-lit sky. Kirinite is known not only for its visual impact, but also for its toughness and long-term durability. Brass pins and liners provide warm contrast and reliable structure, while nickel silver bolsters and an inlaid nickel silver Case XX “block bowtie” shield round out the look with traditional polish.
At just 3.63" closed and weighing 2.1 ounces, the Mini CopperLock is pocket-ready without feeling delicate. Whether you're opening mail or handling light work around the shop, it’s a hardworking blade wrapped in standout style.
