61265LC SS Mid-Folding Hunter
The 61265LC SS combines traditional Case bone-handle craftsmanship with more modern everyday-carry features.
Case\'s published specifications identify the pattern as a Mid-Folding Hunter with Clip, featuring a one-hand-opening Clip blade with thumb stud and liner lock. It measures approximately 4 inches closed and weighs approximately 3.7 ounces.
The knife features:
Single Clip blade – versatile primary cutting profile.
Thumb stud – allows convenient one-hand blade opening.
Liner lock – locks the blade open during use.
Pocket clip – provides convenient pocket carry.
That makes the 61265LC SS quite different from Case\'s traditional slipjoint Trappers, Stockmans and Muskrats.
Beautiful Autumn Jigged Bone
One of the strongest features of this particular knife is its Autumn Bone handle.
The genuine bone displays an outstanding mixture of orange, amber, reddish-brown and dark brown/black coloration, combined with deep jigging. The color variation is especially attractive on this example.
Case\'s historical database confirms Autumn Bone as one of the company\'s recognized bone-handle treatments from this era.
The handle is complemented by a distinctive Case shield, polished bolsters and traditional pinned construction.
Made in USA
Published specifications for the 61265LC SS identify the pattern as USA made. The same pattern continued in Case catalogs for many years, confirming its place as one of Case\'s popular modern/traditional crossover designs.
This 2004 Autumn Bone example with its matching dated factory box would make an excellent addition to a Case XX collection.
