Case Knives Axe Handle
Introducing the Case Axe Handle, a completely new inline pattern that honors tradition while carving out something boldly new. Co-designed with legendary custom knife maker Bill Ruple, this American-made knife blends classic Case craftsmanship with a fresh, modern profile built for everyday carry.
The Axe Handle features a timeless clip point blade, available in your choice of carbon steel for old-school edge performance or Case Tru-Sharp™ surgical steel for superior corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. Compact and lightweight, it disappears in the pocket yet feels confident and capable in hand—proof that classic utility never goes out of style.
Marking its debut, this knife carries the all-new BR 135 pattern stamp. The “BR” pays tribute to Bill Ruple’s influence on the design, while “35” celebrates his 35 years as a custom knife maker. Fittingly, the number 135 also reflects Case’s 135 years of American knife-making heritage at the time this pattern was born—a meaningful intersection of past, present, and future.
Offered in a variety of handle colors, the Axe Handle delivers a traditional look with modern sensibility. It’s a knife that feels familiar the moment you pick it up, yet unmistakably new—continuing Case’s legacy of quality craftsmanship while opening the door to the next generation of patterns.
Classic. Compact. Purpose-built. The Case Axe Handle isn’t just a new knife—it’s the next chapter.
