The Case Sowbelly CS American Workman is a premium, traditional slipjoint folding pocket knife from W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co., part of their American Workman series featuring the classic heavy-duty Sowbelly pattern (a robust three-blade Stockman-style design with a distinctive rounded, serpentine "sowbelly" handle shape rooted in historical patterns). This model is built for hardworking users with smooth red synthetic handles (durable, low-maintenance polymer in a bold red tone with patriotic flair) and carbon steel blades for traditional sharpness and easy resharpening. It's ideal for everyday carry (EDC), utility tasks, light whittling, ranch work, or as a collectible emphasizing American-made reliability and heritage.
Specifications:

Handle Features: Nickel silver bolsters and pins for durability and classic contrast, brass liners for internal strength, Case shield inlay (often propeller or patriotic style), contoured Sowbelly shape for secure, comfortable palm fit
