Razor

Case Razor Knives

The Case Razor puts a straight-razor profile in your pocket: a 3-inch razor blade with a long, flat edge and a blunt, razor-style tip, paired with a 2-inch pen blade for fine work. Case builds this two-blade razor jack in Bradford, Pennsylvania as a traditional slip joint, about 3 7/8 inches closed and 3.4 ounces in the hand, with both blades in Tru-Sharp stainless.

That razor blade is what sets the pattern apart. Instead of tapering to a fine point like a clip or spear blade, it carries its full edge almost all the way to a squared-off tip, so every inch of steel does work. It shaves wood, peels, slices cord and opens boxes with controlled push cuts, and the blunt tip makes it a forgiving blade for cutting toward a surface you don't want to puncture. The pen blade handles splinters, threads and detail cuts, keeping the main edge fresh.

It's built for carriers who want a traditional pocket knife with more usable edge than a typical jack, and for collectors who appreciate one of Case's more distinctive blade patterns. At Knifeworks, you're buying from an authorized Case dealer, and every Case Razor is covered by the Case Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The Case Razor Knife Buyer's Guide (2026)

What makes the razor blade different from every other traditional blade shape, and how the Case Razor puts it to work alongside a pen blade.

The Case Razor: A Two-Blade Razor Jack+

The Case Razor is a razor jack: a traditional two-blade jack knife whose main blade is shaped like a straight razor. Case builds it in Bradford, Pennsylvania around a 3-inch razor blade and a 2-inch pen blade, both in Tru-Sharp stainless, in a slip joint frame about 3 7/8 inches long closed and 3.4 ounces in weight.

Most traditional pocket knives lead with a clip or spear point. The Razor leads with edge instead. Its main blade keeps a straight, working edge almost to the tip, which gives you more usable cutting length than the blade's 3-inch size suggests and a blunt tip that is easy to control.

TipLook for RAZ in the pattern stamp. Case stamps it on the Razor pattern (for example, 2005RAZ SS) to mark the razor-style main blade.
The Razor Blade: Straight Edge, Blunt Tip, Full-Length Cutting+

A razor blade on a pocket knife borrows its shape from the barber's straight razor. The edge runs straight and flat, and instead of rising to a fine point, the blade ends in a squared-off, blunt tip. That design changes how the knife cuts in three practical ways.

TraitWhat It Means in Use
Straight, full-length edgeEven contact with the cutting board or material, clean push cuts and long, controlled slicing strokes
Blunt, razor-style tipLess risk of puncturing what you are cutting toward, from a box's contents to a leather strap
Edge close to the tipPrecise work right at the front of the blade for scoring, trimming and shaving wood
TipUse the flat edge like a plane when whittling: lay the blade low and take thin, controlled shavings. The straight edge gives you a wider, more even cut than a curved belly.
Razor Blade vs. Clip, Spear and Sheepsfoot Blades+
Blade ShapeTipEdgeBest At
RazorBlunt, squared-offStraight, full-lengthPush cuts, slicing, shaving wood, safe cuts near a surface
Clip PointFine, sharp pointCurved bellyDetail work, piercing, general utility
Spear PointCentered pointCurved on both sides of centerBalanced utility and piercing
SheepsfootRounded spine drops to the edgeStraightControlled cutting with no sharp tip

The razor blade and the sheepsfoot share a straight edge and a forgiving tip, but the razor's profile follows a straight razor's long, slender lines. Compared with a clip or spear point, the razor gives up piercing ability in exchange for more straight edge and more control.

The Pen Blade: The Razor's Detail Partner+

The Case Razor's second blade is a 2-inch pen blade, a short, slim blade made for small jobs: splinters, trimming threads and loose strings, cleaning a fingernail or opening an envelope. Handing those tasks to the pen blade keeps the 3-inch razor blade's edge sharp for the cuts where it matters most.

TipMake the pen blade your dirty-work blade. Use it to cut tape, scrape and pry staples, and save the razor blade for clean slicing and wood work.
Tru-Sharp Stainless on the Case Razor+

Both blades on the Case Razor are Case Tru-Sharp surgical stainless. It is Case's everyday working steel: rust resistant, tough enough for daily pocket chores, and quick to bring back to a shaving edge on a pocket stone or ceramic rod.

That ease of sharpening matters more on a razor blade than on most shapes. With a straight edge running nearly to the tip, you can sharpen the full length with simple, even strokes, with no curved belly to follow.

TipKeep the stone flat and the angle steady along the whole straight edge, then finish the last quarter inch near the tip with light passes so the squared-off tip stays crisp.
Slip Joint Action and Everyday Care+

The Case Razor is a slip joint, so there is no Liner Lock or Frame Lock to release. Backspring tension holds each blade open and closed, making it a knife for controlled cutting rather than prying or hard impact.

Put a drop of light oil at each blade pivot every few months, blow out pocket lint, and wipe both blades clean after cutting food or tape. Close each blade with your fingers clear of the edge; the backspring will snap it home.

Case Razor: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers from the Knifeworks team in Columbia, Louisiana on the Case Razor knife.

What is the Case Razor knife?+

What is a razor blade on a pocket knife?+

A razor blade is shaped like a barber's straight razor: a straight, full-length edge that runs out to a blunt, squared-off tip instead of a sharp point. It gives you more usable straight edge than a clip or spear point of the same length.

What is the razor blade best used for?+

The Case Razor measures about 3 7/8 inches closed and weighs 3.4 ounces. It carries a 3-inch razor blade and a 2-inch pen blade.
