For over a hundred years, Case has produced beautiful, quality knives. Case stands out in the crowd, and even feels a bit nostalgic as I remember my PawPaw pulling his out every opportunity he had. Something about them just feels good. For 2019, Case is bridging the gap between classic and modern by adding some new features to that classic Case look with the Case Kickstart Trapperlock. This knife, built for easy one-handed use, features a clip blade, a thumb stud for Kickstart assisted opening action, and a liner lock which locks the blade in place once fully open. The Kickstart Trapperlock also features a belt clip, making it easy and convenient to carry. The closed length of the knife is 4.125-inches and it weighs 3.6 oz. The Kickstart Trapperlock is available in eight different handle styles. Kickstart Trapperlock Also new for 2019 is the Case Shark Tooth Flipper. The clip blade, which locks safely with fingertip control, is made from high-performance S35VN steel and is 3 1/2-inches—built for edge integrity and resistance to wear. G-10 handle inlays with strike lines give a reliable and comfortable grip. The 410SS steel pocket clip is reversible, and the knife boasts an integrated lanyard hole, giving you several options when it comes to how you want to carry your knife. Available in two color options(black/black and gray/black), this knife was built to meet your EDC needs.

This style originated in Europe, and was brought to the U.S. in 1870. Previously in their vault and out of production, Case is doing a Limited Release of the Barlow this year. The Barlow has a clip blade and a pen blade, making it ideal for routine cutting needs as well as lighter duty stuff. It has a closed length of 3.375-inches, weighs 3.2 oz, and sports an oversized pocket end bolster, a signature attribute of the Barlow which helps to protect the integrity of the knife's construction.
