The Case XX Axe Handle Folding Knife 30th Anniversary edition stands
as a bold expression of American knife heritage, built with purpose and
refined through experience. This special collaboration with Bill Ruple
features a rare one-piece integral backspring, a design that delivers
exceptional strength, smooth operation, and long-term durability.
Measuring about 4.4 inches closed and weighing roughly 4.2 ounces, it
has a solid, confident feel in hand while remaining practical for
everyday carry or serious collecting.
The 3.46-inch clip point blade offers classic profile and proven
versatility, suitable for precision tasks or general use. Brass pins and
liners reinforce the knife’s traditional construction, while nickel
silver bolsters add balance and timeless appeal. An inlaid Case shield
marks it with quiet authority, signaling quality without excess flash.
What truly sets this Axe Handle folder apart is its Gator Jigged Old
Red Bone handles. Deeply textured and richly colored, they provide
excellent grip and a rugged, time-worn look that feels right at home in a
working pocket or a display case. The distinctive axe handle pattern
fills the hand naturally, reinforcing control and comfort while honoring
a design that’s been trusted for generations.
Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Case XX’s continued
commitment to craftsmanship, legacy, and functional design. It’s a piece
that connects past and present, offering authentic materials,
thoughtful construction, and enduring style in one well-balanced
package.
