Case Axe Handle Antique Bone Peach Seed Jig Badge Shield SHOT Show Exclusive Pocket Knife (3.95" Closed) 10853

The Case Axe Handle in Antique Bone Peach Seed Jig, a SHOT Show exclusive, pairs a Bill Ruple tribute clip blade with warm, polished bone scales and a badge shield built for the pocket or the collection.

• Tru-Sharp Clip Blade - A mirror-polished clip point in Case Tru-Sharp surgical stainless steel sharpens up fast and shrugs off rust, with the blade carrying a Bill Ruple embellishment that honors his work on this pattern.
• Antique Bone Peach Seed Jig Handle - The jigged Antique Bone scales wear a high polish that still leaves real peach seed texture underhand, a SHOT Show exclusive colorway not found in the standard Axe Handle lineup.
• Smooth Slip Joint Action - A nail nick pulls the clip blade open with a smooth, traditional give, and the backspring holds it firm at full extension with no lock and no blade play.
• American-Made Craftsmanship - Built start to finish at the Case factory in Bradford, Pennsylvania, this Axe Handle carries a badge shield and nickel silver bolsters, American made from blade to bolster.

The Case Axe Handle

The Axe Handle is a rare thing in the Case catalog: a completely new pattern. Co-designed with award-winning custom maker Bill Ruple, this slip joint earns its name from the distinctive upswept curve at the butt of the handle. That profile is more than a style choice. It fills your hand in a way that flat-ended traditionals simply don't. The pattern stamp marks the first inline collaboration between Case and Ruple, with the numbers honoring both his 35 years of custom knifemaking and the 135 years Case had been in business when the project started.
