Case Cheetah Cub 6.5 BoneStag 65349

The Case 6.5 BoneStag Cheetah Cub is a pocket-sized lockback with a swing guard, hand-flamed bone handles, and a mirror-polished Tru-Sharp blade, back from the Case XX Vault for 2026.

• 2026 Case XX Vault Pattern — The Cheetah Cub returns from retirement for a limited run, giving collectors and everyday carriers a rare shot at one of the most requested patterns in the Case catalog.
• 6.5 BoneStag Handle — Genuine jigged bone is hand-flamed to produce warm honey and amber tones that mimic real stag antler. Each handle is slightly different, so no two knives look exactly the same.
• Stainless Steel Clip Blade — Mirror-polished and ready for daily use, this blade holds an edge well and resists corrosion. The lockback mechanism keeps everything secure when open.
• Swing Guard & Nickel Silver Bolsters — The signature Cheetah swing guard adds a layer of security and old-school style, while nickel silver bolsters and brass liners give the knife a solid, balanced feel.

The Case Cheetah Cub

The Cheetah Cub was introduced in 2005 as a compact version of the classic Cheetah pattern, scaling down the frame while keeping the swing guard and locking clip blade that define the family. It's a knife that rarely sees regular production, appearing mostly through Case's limited Vault program rather than as a catalog staple. The compact frame and distinctive swing guard give it a look and feel unlike most traditional pocket knives, which is a big part of why it's become a sought-after pattern among Case collectors.
