This rugged, synthetic handle is inspired by our “Gum Fuddy” knives of World War II. Virtually indestructible, choose your next tough knife from this family. The Cheetah^® Cub returns from the Case XX Vault in 2026, bringing back a pattern long admired for its compact profile and signature swing guard. First introduced in 2005 as a scaled-down version of the original Cheetah^®, it trims the frame to 3 1/2 inches for a size comparable to the Mini CopperLock^®. Throughout 2026, the Cheetah^® Cub will be available in a wide range of handle options, but only for a limited time as part of the Vault program. Add one to your collection while you can, before it heads back into retirement.

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.
