Case XX Barlow

Case is celebrating the tenth anniversary of their XX Select brand by releasing a few limited-edition blades, with handles made of some of the most popular materials. Each knife features a surgical steel blade with a series-signature tang stamp and a special “XX” shield on the handle.

The celebratory series includes a Red Bone TrapperLock, a Mediterranean Blue Bone Mini CopperLock, a XX Prime Stag Sway Back Gent, a Bermuda Green Bone Small Stockman, a Smooth Gray Curly Zebra Wood Small Texas Toothpick, a Smooth Genuine Mother-of-Pearl Barlow, a Mammoth Ivory Baby Butterbean, a Snakewood Gunboat Canoe, and a Red Stag Cigar Whittler — that’s nine knives, for those who’re counting.

Collectors will be aglow with excitement, as the production run of each blade is going to be 500 knives per style for a total of 4, 500 blades. Spread those out across the select dealers and you’re looking at one or two being sent to any particular area — so if you’re on the hunt, pre-order with your local dealer. As with all the Case limited-edition knives, be prepared for a ten to twenty-percent price bump at the local shop because of the rarity.
