Case Cutlery Sowbelly American Workman Knife

The Case Sowbelly American Workman sets a stonewash-finished three-blade clip, sheepsfoot, and spey pattern in carbon steel with a red synthetic handle, nickel silver bolsters, closing to 3.88 inches, made in the USA.

The Sowbelly frame shape curves along the spine in a distinctive way that sets it apart from a standard straight-backed Stockman, giving comfortable palm-filling ergonomics in hand. That stonewash finish gives the blades a textured, matte look that resists showing fingerprints far better than a polished surface would. Carbon steel takes a keen edge more easily than stainless, though it develops a patina over time.

A slip joint holds each blade open through spring tension rather than a locking mechanism, the same simple, dependable system pocketknives have used for generations. Made in the USA. That makes it the one to choose when you want a distinctive frame shape with versatility. The Sowbelly pattern remains one of Case's more distinctive, specialty frame shapes. This particular red colorway continues to sell steadily among collectors who specifically want distinctive frame shapes. The Sowbelly's curved spine fills the palm differently than a standard straight-backed pattern. Buyers who want a distinctive frame shape repeatedly choose the Sowbelly over a standard Stockman.
