Made to look beautifully worn, this genuine bone handle’s honey and amber tones are accented with special jigging – and hand-flamed – to look and feel like authentic stag antler. Secondary “6.5” blade tang stampings remind you these knives are extra special.

Case Knives is proud to introduce an all-new slip joint pattern, the Case Axe Handle^®. While Case is known for releasing fresh handle materials, colors, jigs, and shields, it’s rare that we unveil a completely new pattern, making this launch truly more significant. Co designed with award-winning custom maker Bill Ruple, the Axe Handle earns its name from its distinctive profile. With this new pattern comes a new pattern stamp: BR’135. “BR” honors Ruple’s influence, “1” signifies our first in-line collaboration with him, and “35” celebrates his 35 years of custom knife craftsmanship. Fittingly, 135 is also the number of years Case had been in business when work on this knife began. Its 4-inch handle makes it an ideal medium-size carry that feels natural in the hand, and the variety of available materials, colors, and blade steels ensures there’s a perfect Axe Handle for every user. 

Crafting a brand-new knife pattern in an American factory rooted in hand craftsmanship is no small task. But the team at Case knew this design was worth the effort. The Case Axe Handle^® is sure to spark a collector following and become a favored EDC among slip joint fans. Don’t wait, be among the first to carry a Case Axe Handle^®.
