The Case XX Axe Handle is a striking blend of traditional craftsmanship and innovative design, created through a special collaboration with renowned knife designer Bill Ruple. Built with the attention to detail collectors expect from Case, this distinctive slipjoint brings a bold profile, premium materials, and a construction method that sets it apart from ordinary pocketknives.
The knife features a 3.46-inch clip point blade that’s ready for precise everyday cutting tasks. Its classic shape offers excellent control for detailed work while maintaining the versatility needed for general use. This model is a traditional slipjoint rather than a lockback, giving it the smooth, reliable walk-and-talk that fans of classic pocketknives appreciate.
One of the most unique elements of the Axe Handle design is its one-piece integral backspring. This construction method creates a remarkably solid feel while showcasing the thoughtful engineering behind the pattern. At about 4.4 inches closed and weighing roughly 4.2 ounces, the knife carries with authority and fills the hand comfortably, delivering the kind of presence collectors and users both admire.
This Smoky Mountain Knife Works exclusive version features eye-catching Sea Dragon jigged bone handles in deep shades of blue and brown. The rich colors flow through the bone with dramatic contrast, while the jigging adds texture and character that highlight the traditional look of the pattern. The result is a handle that feels both rugged and refined, making this knife just as impressive in a collection as it is in a pocket.
Proudly made in the USA and available only through Smoky Mountain Knife Works, this exclusive Axe Handle stands as a celebration of American knife making and distinctive design.
