This Buffalo Horn-handled Baby Doc ('82SP) is a caseknives.com exclusive, available for only a very limited time! The Water Buffalo has been one of mankind's most useful resources for thousands of years, and the properties of Genuine Buffalo Horn make it a natural handle material choice for our fine knives. This pint-sized knife pattern was modeled after its larger-versioned cousin, the Doctor's Knife ('85SP).
The knife hearkens back to a time when doctors carried a knife like this in their medicine bags while conducting house calls. The Spear blade was used to cut sutures and bandages, while the unsharpened Spatula was used to count pills and mix medicines. The flat end bolster was used to crush pills into powders.
The Baby Doc pattern was named by the Case Collectors Club community at the Zippo/Case International Swap Meet in 2004 and was later introduced to the general public in January, 2005.
This model has several features that are synonymous with special site exclusives, like the 'XX' engraving on the pocket end and a flute line on the cap end bolster and our Case Long Tail "C" consecutive serialization on the main blade. The knife comes packaged in a velvet gift box that's wrapped with a branded outside sleeve. A printed Certificate of Authenticity is also included with your purchase of this knife to serve as a living record of this very unique offering.
Production of this knife is strictly limited to just 350 pieces, so be sure to pick up your Baby Doc from Case before it sells out or is returned to the Case Vault at year end!
This knife is constructed with Case Tru-Sharp™ stainless steel which is a special high-carbon steel that helps the blades hold an edge longer than conventional steel. It also offers extraordinary blade strength and corrosion resistance. Comes conveniently packaged in a box. Made in Bradford, PA, USA from domestic and imported materials.

Product Quality Information
Congratulations! You now own a well-crafted piece of Americana.
To own a Case knife is to support a company which stakes its long-standing reputation on making high quality products in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
With roots that date back to 1889, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has become one of the most beloved knife brands in the industry. Whether you plan to place this knife in a collection or put it to work, your new Case knife was built to be enjoyed for years to come.
The Famous XX® Trademark
The history of the trademark goes back to the early days of W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co., when the “XX” was used as a quality check system during the process of heat treating. When blades were put through the initial hardening furnace, an “X” was marked on the pan holding the blades. When the blades were returned to the oven for tempering, a second “X” was added. “XX” then, showed that each blade had been properly and fully treated. Today the “Case XX” trademark is a sign of distinction and quality which we proudly place on nearly every knife we make.
Proper Knife Use
You expect Case to deliver high-quality, razor sharp knives, and in turn, each Case blade is honed to an extremely sharp edge. We ask that you be very cautious when opening, closing, using, sharpening or handling your knife in any way. Case knives are tools used exclusively for cutting applications. They are not designed to be, nor should they EVER be used as, an awl, chisel, pry-bar, punch, screwdriver, or weapon. Use for any purpose other than cutting applications in a safe, unharmful manner shall be deemed misuse.
Locking Blade Safety Notice
Always use extreme caution when using any Case knife equipped with a locking feature. Although locking features are designed to help prevent the blade from unexpectedly closing on the hand of the user, NO locking feature can ensure the blade will remain locked during use. It is possible for a user to accidentally disengage the locking feature or for the locking feature to be overcome by force to the blade, especially from pressure exerted on the blade's side or back. For optimal safety, always treat and use your Case knife with a locking feature just as you would use any folding pocket knife that is not equipped with a locking feature. Be sure the locking mechanism is clean and free from debris or dirt before use. Case cannot be held responsible for any misuse of any Case knife or any user's failure to heed these instructions and warnings.
The Case Edge
The Case name is synonymous with extraordinarily keen edges which are individually honed by the hands of skilled artisans.
Case uses only quality steel, special ordered and tested to fit our demanding specifications. The most used are our original Chrome Vanadium (CV), Carbon Steel (CS), and our stainless option, Tru-Sharp™ surgical steel (SS). Other specialty steels may be used on occasion.
Carbon Steel (CS) and Chrome Vanadium (CV) are quality high carbon steels with low alloy content and high tensile strength. They are in a class of steels where carbon is a principal element (“carbon” steels). CV and CS blades are known for their edge retention and ease of re-sharpening. They are, however, more prone to tarnishing and rusting than stainless steel when exposed to air and moisture.
Please read the “Knife Care” section below for special care instructions on maintaining CV and CS steel blades.
Case Tru-Sharp™ surgical steel (SS) is a high strength stainless steel alloy which contains a higher Chromium content. It resists tarnishing, staining and rusting with minimal care. As with any knife, stainless blades should be maintained regularly to preserve the steel's original appearance.
When purchasing a knife, the decision between CV, CS, stainless steel, or other steels is largely one of personal preference. Some feel that edge retention, ease of re-sharpening, and the patina that can be achieved with CV and CS blades makes it superior to stainless steel; others appreciate the added corrosion resistance and dependable performance of stainless steel. You can be sure that both steels are made to our highest quality standards and, with proper care, can perform well for many years.
Re-sharpening Your Knife
Hold the blade at a 10° to 15° angle from the surface of a sharpening stone. Maintain the angle and stroke the blade, as if “shaving” a thin layer from the stone. Repeat the stroking motion along the entire edge of the blade starting at the blade heel and working to the tip. Turn the blade over and repeat the process on the opposite side.
Knife Care
Proper care, maintenance, and use of your Case knife will help prevent injury to you or anyone else and will help to ensure many years of faithful service.
To prevent corrosion, clean your Case knife entirely (exterior and interior) after use. Remove any dirt or debris from the inside with cotton swabs. Blades can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry with a clean, dry cloth. Prior to storing, lightly coat the blade and any pivot points with lubricating oil.
IMPORTANT: Extra care of Chrome Vanadium and Carbon Steel blades is required. Simply maintain a thin film of oil, wax or other preservative on them to help retain their original finish.
Even when properly cared for, CV and CS blades will darken in color over time and can develop a rich patina, which does not affect the steel's integrity or performance. Other specialty steels may require care that is unique to that steel. Refer to any additional care instructions that may have been included in your product packaging.
