SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cooper Cutlery Dollar Knife Co. Osage Orange Camel Bone folding knife represents a revival of American pocketknife tradition at its finest. Handcrafted in Winchester, Ohio, using the original Queen Cutlery machinery, this classic Jack pattern knife blends timeless design with hardworking materials. It's a small-batch production piece built for users who appreciate heritage, utility, and craftsmanship.
At its core, the knife features a ~2.75-inch spear point blade made from satin-finished D2 tool steel. Known for its wear resistance and edge retention, D2 offers dependable cutting performance for everyday tasks. The blade opens smoothly and confidently with a tight half-stop mechanism—providing tactile feedback and an added layer of safety during operation.
The handle is where the artistry of this piece truly shines. Made from genuine Osage orange camel bone, the scales are warm in tone, hand-polished, and individually pinned to brass liners for a secure, flush fit. A bold black shield inset into the handle creates a striking contrast, giving the knife a refined and distinctive profile. Every component is fitted with care, including the nickel silver pins and bolsters, delivering strength without compromising elegance.
This knife doesn’t rely on modern locking mechanisms. Instead, it uses a slip joint design, powered by a precision-fitted backspring. It’s simple, reliable, and built for generations of use, just as traditional American pocketknives have always been. The hand-ground blade, tight action, and centered walk-and-talk feel all reflect Cooper Cutlery’s commitment to doing things the right way, without shortcuts.

It's the kind of knife you’ll reach for often—and one you'll be proud to pass down. Browse our wide selection of traditional pocket knives at SMKW!
