Case Cheetah Cub Dark Red Bone Peach Seed Jig 1095 Carbon Steel Clip Point Pocket Knife (3.50" Closed) 31943

The Case Cheetah Cub in Dark Red Bone shrinks the swing-guard Cheetah into a pocket-sized lockback with peach seed jigged bone, polished nickel silver bolsters, and a 1095 carbon steel clip blade.

• 1095 Carbon Steel Clip Blade - Case 1095 carbon steel takes a keen edge and sharpens back easily on a stone. The long clip point gives you a fine, controllable tip for piercing and detail work. A natural patina will develop with use and handling.
• Swing Guard Lockback - A guard swings up as the blade opens, putting a barrier between your fingers and the edge during hard cuts. The lockback holds the blade open until you press the spine release. It is the feature that has defined the Cheetah for years.
• Dark Red Bone Handle - Genuine bone is dyed a deep red and cut with Case peach seed jigging, a dimpled texture that adds grip and old-world character. Polished nickel silver bolsters cap each end, and a nickel silver Case Traditions shield is inlaid in the side.
• Pocket-Sized Carry - This is the scaled-down Cub rather than the full Cheetah. It folds small enough to disappear in a pocket and weighs well under two ounces. The nail nick opener keeps deployment traditional and two-handed.

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 has spent much of its life out of regular production, returning mostly through the limited Case Vault program rather than running as a catalog staple. The small frame and distinctive swing guard give it a look and feel unlike most traditional pocket knives, which is a big part of why it has become a sought-after pattern among Case collectors.
