Limited XX Edition — One of 3000
Knife #195 was produced as part of Case\'s collectible:
LIMITED XX EDITION
with production limited to:
3,000 PIECES
The original blue Case box is marked:
LIMITED XX EDITION1 OF 3000
and the polished master blade carries the matching:
LIMITED XX EDITION1 OF 3000
etch.
The designation means this knife is one example from the 3,000-piece production run. It does not mean serial number 1.
Orange Peel Peach Seed Jigged Bone
The handle is the standout feature of this knife.
The original factory box specifically identifies:
ORG PEELBN PS
or Orange Peel Peach Seed Jigged Bone.
This particular example has extremely vivid coloration ranging from:
Bright orange
Golden orange
Amber
Yellow-orange
Cream / ivory at the ends
The darker jigging creates substantial contrast through the center of the scales.
Because genuine bone is a natural material, individual knives vary in color and jigging.
The photographs show the exact knife the buyer will receive.
That is especially important with #195 because this example has exceptionally bright Orange Peel coloration.
Case 61265LC SS Mid-Folding Hunter
The factory pattern is:
61265LC SS
This is a much different knife from a traditional slipjoint Trapper, Stockman or Peanut.
The Mid-Folding Hunter features:
- Single Clip-point blade
- Thumb-stud opening
- Liner-lock construction
- Larger folding-hunter frame
- Genuine bone handles
- Polished bolsters
- Traditional Case styling combined with more modern operation
The LC designation is associated with the locking configuration of this Case pattern.
Single Clip Blade
Knife #195 uses a large polished Clip blade with the special:
LIMITED XX EDITION — 1 OF 3000
etch.
The blade has:
- Stainless-steel construction
- Highly polished finish
- Plain cutting edge
- Clip-point profile
- Thumb stud
- Manual one-hand opening capability
- Liner lock
The thumb stud and liner lock make the 61265LC considerably different from most of the traditional Limited XX knives in this collection.
Decorative Case Shield
The Orange Peel Bone handle carries an attractive decorative Case shield.
Its silver-colored finish contrasts particularly well against the extremely bright orange and cream bone.
Combined with the polished bolsters and blade, this makes #195 an excellent display knife.
Original Limited XX Edition Box
Knife #195 includes its original matching dark-blue Case factory box.
The box is prominently marked:
CASE XXLIMITED XX EDITION1 OF 3000
The factory end label confirms:

The original item-numbered box is an important part of this knife\'s collector value because it confirms the exact factory configuration and production date.
Factory Date — October 13, 2004
The original factory box is dated:
10/13/04
giving us a confirmed 2004 production date without needing to estimate the year from box style alone.
This also places #195 alongside your other Orange Peel Limited XX knives from this same period.
Made in USA
Knife #195 was manufactured by W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. in the United States.
This combination of the larger locking Mid-Folding Hunter pattern, vivid Orange Peel genuine bone, limited 3,000-piece production and original factory packaging makes #195 particularly attractive for a Case XX Limited Edition collection.
