Case XX Sowbelly Burnt Amber UK EDC Pocket Knife - Triple Blade Burnt Amber Jigged Bone Handle

The Case Sowbelly Burnt Amber is a premium, traditional slipjoint folding pocket knife from W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co., 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 highlights Rogers jigged Burnt Amber Bone handles (genuine natural bovine bone with textured Rogers/corn cob jigging, dyed in warm burnt amber tones for a rich, aged look with excellent grip and unique variations). Equipped with mirror-polished carbon steel blades, it's ideal for everyday carry (EDC), utility tasks, light whittling, ranch work, or as a collectible for traditional knife enthusiasts who value classic American craftsmanship and carbon steel performance.
