Product Description
The Case Axe Handle is the most significant new knife pattern Case has introduced in years — and this gator jig bright green bone version is one of the most eye-catching configurations in the 2026 lineup. Co-designed with Bill Ruple, one of America's most celebrated custom knifemakers, the Axe Handle blends the DNA of traditional American pocket knives with a fresh, modern profile built around everyday carry. If you have been waiting for Case to do something genuinely new, this is it.
The 3.25-inch clip point blade is ground from Case Tru-Sharp surgical stainless steel and brought to a mirror polish that reflects the same level of finishing Case has applied to its best knives for over a century. Tru-Sharp is engineered for superior corrosion resistance and easy re-sharpening, making it the practical everyday choice for a hard-working slip joint. The axe handle profile — inspired by the shape of a traditional axe handle — gives the knife a distinctive silhouette that feels immediately natural in the hand, with a slim, compact carry footprint that disappears in the pocket.
The bright green gator jigged bone handle scales deliver a bold, confident look that stands apart from the rest of the Axe Handle lineup. Jigged bone is bone that has been textured using a hand-controlled jigging wheel, giving each handle a slightly unique pattern and exceptional grip. Nickel silver bolsters and the iconic Case XX diamond shield complete the traditional presentation. This knife carries the all-new BR 135 pattern stamp, marking its place in Case's history as a genuine debut pattern. As an authorized Case dealer, Knifeworks ships every Axe Handle fast.
