AMBER BONE –

When you find something that works, you stick with it. That’s why Case keeps bringing back the Amber Bone. The golden-amber hue and deep, dark Peach seed jigged lends itself well to just about any knife style allowing the beauty of the natural bone to shine through.

CARBON STEEL (CS) –

A high strength steel alloy with a high percentage of chromium that provides superior corrosion resistance compared to conventional steel. Blades blanked from this material hold an edge longer and have extraordinary blade strength. This type of steel requires minimal care and will resist rusting/tarnishing to a much greater extent than other steels. Stainless has been a manufacturing material at Case since 1916. Identified as the most common type of blade material used at Case, it is referred to as Tru-Sharp surgical steel. Case’s 1095 steel is part of a class of steels where carbon is the principal alloying element that gives the steel high tensile strength, wear resistance and toughness. Closely resembling their CV blades, the CS steel is also known for its edge retention and ease of re-sharpening while also being susceptible to tarnishing and rusting compared to stainless steel when exposed to air and moisture. A thin coat of oil or other suitable waterproof coating will preserve the steel’s original appearance while providing you many years of dependable service.
