Description
The case caribou skinner knife represents a fascinating chapter in Case XX history and remains one of the more unique vintage hunting knives produced by the company. Manufactured in 1981, this rare model combines traditional American craftsmanship with a distinctive folding skinner design that stands apart from typical hunting knives of the era.
The knife features a polished clip point blade with swedge, finger hole, and integrated gut hook, making it well suited for hunting and field use. The blade folds securely into the handle while maintaining the robust construction collectors expect from vintage Case knives.
The handle is crafted from attractive stabilized wood scales secured with brass pins and complemented by brass liners and a brass backspacer. The combination of wood and brass creates a classic appearance that reflects the styling of premium American hunting knives from the period.
Measuring approximately 8.5 inches overall with a 3.5-inch blade, the knife offers substantial presence while remaining comfortable to carry and use. The included original leather sheath provides both protection and display appeal.
What makes this example especially desirable is its condition. The knife remains new old stock, having never been used, carried, or sharpened. It comes complete with its original box, paperwork, and sheath, all safely preserved since its original purchase in 1981.
For collectors of vintage Case knives, discontinued hunting knives, or rare American-made sporting cutlery, the case caribou skinner knife represents an increasingly difficult piece to locate in complete original condition.
