CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESLong before the days of modern ammunition, frontiersmen and longhunters depended on their muzzleloading rifles for survival. Each shot required patience and precision, and part of that process was the creation of the “patch”—a greased strip of cloth or leather that ensured a proper seal around the lead ball. Cutting these patches to size called for a small, sharp, and always-ready knife, carried close at hand. This essential tool became known as the patch knife, a trusted companion in the untamed wilderness.
The SZCO Patch Drop Point Fixed Blade Knife honors that tradition while delivering the durability and performance expected by today’s outdoorsmen. Combining old-world charm with modern craftsmanship, this compact fixed blade offers reliability you can count on, whether you’re by the campfire, on the trail, or at your workbench.
Measuring just 4.5 inches overall, the Patch Knife packs surprising utility into a size that’s easy to carry and quick to access. Its 2.25-inch drop point blade is crafted from satin-finished stainless steel, offering exceptional sharpness, corrosion resistance, and versatility. The blade’s fine point handles precision work with ease, while its curved belly makes slicing tasks effortless.
Built on a full tang construction, the knife is cut from a single piece of steel that runs the full length of the handle. This ensures strength and stability, giving you the confidence to tackle any cutting task without compromise. The genuine burlwood handle offers more than just visual appeal—its smooth, contoured shape provides a secure, comfortable grip for extended use. Each handle is one of a kind, showcasing the natural grain patterns of the wood, secured with traditional brass pins for a touch of classic styling.
Carrying the Patch Knife is as practical as using it. It comes with a sturdy brown leather sheath that keeps the blade protected and ready for action, whether it’s riding on your belt or stowed in your pack. Its compact size makes it a perfect choice for hunters, hikers, craftsmen, or anyone who values a dependable blade with a heritage-inspired design.
The SZCO Patch Drop Point Fixed Blade Knife isn’t just a tool—it’s a piece of history reimagined for modern hands. From camp chores to detailed woodwork, it’s built to serve as reliably today as the original patch knives did centuries ago.
