The Case XX Axe Handle Folding Knife stands apart as a rare and distinctive design born from a special collaboration with legendary knife maker Bill Ruple. Known for pushing traditional patterns into bold territory, Ruple’s influence is evident throughout this knife, especially in its innovative construction and unmistakable profile.
This Axe Handle features a 3.46-inch clip point blade made from Tru-Sharp stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance for real-world use. The clip point profile provides a fine tip for detail work alongside a strong cutting edge suited for everyday tasks. Measuring about 4.4 inches closed and weighing approximately 4.2 ounces, this knife has a substantial, confidence-inspiring feel in hand without being unwieldy.
Navy Blue Rogers Jigged Bone handles give this knife its striking visual character. The deep jigging pattern enhances grip while adding texture and depth, and the rich blue tone sets it apart from more traditional handle colors without straying from classic roots. Nickel silver bolsters reinforce the frame and add a refined finish, while brass liners provide internal strength and stability. Every detail reflects Case’s commitment to precision, heritage, and American-made quality. Proudly made in the USA, this knife blends innovation with tradition in a way few folders can match.
This Axe Handle is equally appealing to serious collectors and dedicated users who appreciate uncommon designs backed by proven performance. It’s a knife that tells a story every time it’s opened.
