Case Cheetah Cub Pocket Worn Old Red Bone 10309

The Cheetah Cub in Pocket Worn Old Red Bone—hand-finished to feel like it's already spent years in someone's pocket, with the swing guard and locking clip blade the pattern is known for.

• 2026 Vault Release — The Cheetah Cub rarely sees production, which is what makes its Vault appearances worth paying attention to. This is one of the few chances to pick it up before it goes back into retirement.
• Pocket Worn Finish — Case hand-finishes the Old Red Bone handles so the knife has an immediately broken-in feel. It looks and feels like it's been carried for years before you've even used it.
• Old Red Bone Handle — The corn cob jigging gives the handle texture and grip while keeping the classic look Case collectors expect. Old Red Bone is one of Case's most carried and collected handle materials for good reason.
• Swing Guard and Locking Clip Blade — The swing guard is the Cheetah family's signature safety feature. Paired with a locking Tru-Sharp stainless clip blade, it keeps the knife secure in both open and closed positions.

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.
