CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESKershaw and custom knifemaker Les George crafted the XCOM by drawing inspiration from the iconic US WWII trench knife, transforming it into a practical folding design. Staying true to its military roots, the XCOM features a symmetrical spearpoint blade, perfect for piercing and slicing tasks. Unlike its fixed-blade predecessor, this modern folder is sharpened on only one side, making it versatile for everyday carry while retaining its rugged toughness.
The 3.6-inch spearpoint blade is forged from durable 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, known for its edge retention and corrosion resistance. Finished with a black oxide coating, the blade offers an understated, tactical appearance while enhancing protection against wear. The knife opens smoothly using a manual thumb disc, and a secure liner lock ensures dependable performance during demanding tasks.
The handle is crafted from all-weather, glass-filled nylon (GFN), providing a lightweight yet strong grip for any environment. Deep grooves along the handle ensure a non-slip grip, while the built-in handguard offers added safety, preventing accidental slips during heavy use. Whether you’re working outdoors or handling precise cutting tasks, the XCOM's design keeps functionality and control at the forefront.
Carrying the XCOM is equally practical, thanks to its reversible, deep-carry pocket clip. The knife sits discreetly low in your pocket, making it easy to carry without drawing attention. For added versatility, a large lanyard hole allows you to personalize your knife with paracord, making it easier to access or spot in your gear.
Compact yet sturdy, the XCOM measures 4.4 inches closed and weighs 4.2 ounces, making it a solid choice for everyday use or as part of your outdoor kit. The durable materials and thoughtful design make it a reliable tool, whether you’re navigating tough environments or handling routine cutting needs.
