Original factory box label identifies:

Classic Case Cheetah
The Cheetah is one of Case\'s most recognizable locking traditional patterns.
Case specifications identify the 6111 1/2L SS Cheetah as approximately 4⅜ inches closed and 3.5 ounces, featuring a single locking Clip blade with swing guard.
The swing guard moves with the blade during opening and gives the Cheetah its unmistakable appearance while providing additional protection when the knife is open.
Beautiful Stag-Style Natural Handle
The original factory box specifically identifies the handle treatment as STAG.
This particular knife displays outstanding natural-looking coloration ranging from cream and golden tan to rich brown, with pronounced texture and individual character.
The handle is complemented by a red oval CASE XX shield, polished bolsters, brass-colored pins and the Cheetah\'s distinctive swing guard.
The combination gives this knife a classic American hunting-knife appearance.
Locking Clip Blade
Unlike Case\'s traditional slipjoint Trappers and Stockmans, the Cheetah uses a locking blade.
The single Clip blade provides a long cutting edge and fine point while the lock holds the blade securely in the open position.
Case catalogs specify mirror-polished Tru-Sharp stainless steel on modern 6111 1/2L SS Cheetahs.
A Pattern With Collector History
The Cheetah has an interesting place in Case history. Collector research traces the Cheetah name and blade etching to an early 1970s stag-handled limited production run, with the pattern eventually being reintroduced by Case in the early 2000s.
Case\'s historical pattern database documents numerous collectible Cheetah variations over the years, including stag, BoneStag, exotic materials and limited-production editions.
This 2007 example with its matching original factory box would make an excellent addition to a Case XX, Cheetah, swing-guard or 2000s Case collection.
