Brand new directly from W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company, USA.

Blade: The Teardrop pattern offers a single, sleek, long spear point blade perfect for simple everyday tasks. The Tru-Sharp Stainless steel blade comes with a slicing hollow grind, single nail nick opener and high mirror polish finish.

Handle: Smooth, red and brown Richlite covers are fit between two sets of nickel silver bolsters for a classic and stylish look. A recycled paper and phenolic resin composite similar to Micarta, layered Richlite offers the figured look of wood with the durability and weather resistance of a modern composite. The front cover sports a Case Oval Script Shield. Classic brass liner construction houses a simple slip joint back spring delivering secure non-locking operation.

Case Tru-Sharp: Case Tru-Sharp is another name for 420HC, a stainless steel that provides excellent rust resistance, ease of re-sharpening and moderate edge retention while being exceptionally tough for a stainless steel. With appropriate heat treatment, it is said to preform similarly to VG-10 in wear resistance.
