This Case Russlock knife is part of the Dark Red CV family. The deep red handle on this knife makes it stand out against all the others. The Russlock knife is a pattern that was named after Case founder, J. Russel “Russ†Case. This pattern features a liner lock mechanism, along with a gimped lever for convenient one-hand opening. The Clip blade on this durable folding knife is commonly used as a multi-purpose utility blade and is preferred for detail work. This knife is constructed with our chrome vanadium (CV) steel. Some knife lovers will settle for nothing less than chrome vanadium blades, since this special formula of alloyed steel is the “original†Case blade steel. Case chrome vanadium blades are known for their edge-holding ability and easy re-sharpening. However, they are less resistant to rusting, pitting and discoloration than stainless steel. We recommend keeping a thin film of oil on the blade to maintain the finish. This ensures that your knife will be around for future generations to enjoy. This pocket knife is suitable for everyday demands, hunting, or the outdoors. Comes conveniently packaged in a box. Made in Bradford, PA, USA from domestic and imported materials.
