Ultra Rare Case XX Classic Outer Peacock Shell Abalone Prototype Whittler Knife

Description

The case peacock shell abalone knife is one of the rarest Case Classics ever produced — a genuine Prototype Whittler made to showcase the stunning Outer Peacock Shell Abalone handle material. Each scale shimmers with natural iridescence, shifting between blues, greens, and purples under light, a hallmark of authentic ocean shell artistry.

This prototype, measuring 3 ⅜ inches closed, was handcrafted in Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA, and features stainless steel blades, a Case XX raised bomb shield, and flawless nickel silver bolsters. Every detail is finished with the precision and pride that define the Case Classic line.

What makes this piece extraordinary is its dual Certificates of Authenticity, verifying it as a genuine prototype sample. These knives were used by Case to display handle material variations, appear in photo shoots, and promote new releases to distributors — never mass produced, making each one a singular piece of brand history.

The case peacock shell abalone knife comes housed in its original Case Classic blue box, complete with certificates and presentation packaging. It has never been used, carried, or sharpened, preserving its pristine condition for serious collectors.

A true testament to over a century of American knife-making heritage, this ultra rare prototype is a museum-grade addition to any high-end Case XX or exotic handle collection.
