Case Axe Handle Mahogany Bone Pocket Worn 30th Anniversary 55237

The Case Axe Handle 30th Anniversary in Pocket Worn mahogany bone celebrates three decades of broken-in character with corn cob jigging, fluted nickel silver bolsters, and a Tru-Sharp clip blade.

• Pocket Worn Mahogany Bone — Corn cob jigged bone handles carry a deep, warm tone and that lived-in feel the Pocket Worn process is known for, finished off with a Case arrowhead shield set into the slab.
• Tru-Sharp Surgical Stainless Clip Blade — The mirror-polished clip blade carries a special 30th Anniversary etch, pairing easy resharpening and corrosion resistance with collector-grade detail you can actually use.
• Fluted Nickel Silver Bolsters — Hand-fluted nickel silver bolsters frame the bone with bright contrast and old-school refinement, anchored by brass pins and brass liners for solid traditional construction.
• Bill Ruple Collaboration Pattern — The Axe Handle shape was designed with award-winning custom maker Bill Ruple, giving the frame a sculpted profile and a comfortable hold that fills the palm naturally.

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.
