This year, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we will be unveiling a collection of limited-edition America250 knives and collectibles honoring American craftsmanship, heritage and manufacturing. These special releases celebrate the spirit of American independence while reinforcing the company's longstanding commitment to U.S. manufacturing and craftsmanship for more than 135 years.
One of the standouts being featured at Blade Show Atlanta will be the Case Axe Handle® pattern, co-designed with renowned custom knifemaker Bill Ruple. Inspired by the shape and history of vintage axe handles used across American farms, workshops and camp settings, the pattern blends bold design, collectibility and everyday functionality while maintaining our classic Case craftsmanship.
We will also be introducing the PB&J XR Barlow® as a collaboration with renowned mega-retailer Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Inspired by the timeless Barlow pattern, the knife combines premium materials, modern construction and refined ergonomics while maintaining the heritage styling collectors expect from Case. Like other knives in the XR lineup, it features precise construction in a screwed-together design for long-term durability and performance.
Additional XR collection models will also be on display throughout the show, as proof positive of our continued expansion into the modern EDC category while maintaining the craftsmanship and heritage that define the Case brand.
“Blade Show is always one of our favorite opportunities to connect directly with collectors, enthusiasts and the knife community,” said Brent Tyler, Vice President of Global Marketing at Case. “This year’s lineup reflects where Case continues to grow - honoring our heritage while introducing new designs, materials and innovations for both longtime collectors and the next generation of knife users.”
Blade Atlanta attendees can visit with the Smoky Mountain Knife Works team supporting Case product sales throughout the weekend, with select knives available for purchase.
