CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESWhen EIKONIC Knives joined forces with Ramon Chavez, the result was destined to be more than just a functional blade—it became a modern tribute to the rugged tools that once rode the belts of hard-working ranch hands. The RCK9 folding knife stands as a refined evolution of that legacy. It blends the unmistakable silhouette of a Chavez design with the practical demands of everyday carry, delivering a knife that feels as ready for the job site as it does your pocket.
The RCK9 features a 3-inch D2 tool steel drop point blade, characterized by its robustness, reliability, and black stonewash finish. This blade provides exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, rendering it highly suitable for demanding daily use. Its thumb studs, facilitated by ceramic ball bearings, ensure a fluid and responsive opening mechanism, eliminating the need for springs or assistive devices. The RCK9 instills confidence in every cut, whether employed for slicing cordage, opening packages, or performing outdoor tasks.
The handle scales are constructed from textured, night-black G-10, a material known for its lightweight yet durable properties, which significantly improves grip without contributing to excessive bulk. Weighing merely 3.8 ounces and measuring 4.03 inches when closed, the RCK9 represents a compact instrument designed for unobtrusive pocket carry, yet it provides full-sized operational capability when deployed. Its liner lock mechanism guarantees a secure blade engagement, while the stainless steel deep-carry pocket clip maintains the knife's discreet profile and ease of access.
What sets the RCK9 apart is the balance it strikes between modern build quality and timeless design inspiration. It's a working knife at its core, but one that doesn't sacrifice visual appeal or smooth handling. From its precise machining to its comfortable ergonomics, every detail reflects EIKONIC’s dedication to functional craftsmanship—and Ramon Chavez’s unmistakable design DNA.
If you’re the kind of user who respects tradition but demands performance, the RCK9 brings both to the table. Whether you’re a collector, tradesman, or someone who simply appreciates well-made gear, this knife offers everyday reliability with a story worth carrying.
