Case Cheetah Smooth Black and White Fiber Weave ~ 2020 ~ 10 dot
Case Cheetah Smooth Black and White Fiber Weave (Pattern 10111 ½L SS) is a premium, single-bladed folding pocket knife manufactured by W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. It uniquely blends traditional American cutlery design with modern, high-tech handle materials.
Design Features
- Pattern Number (10111 ½L SS): The "10" designates its modern composite handle material, "1" indicates a single blade, "11 ½" is the historic frame pattern, "L" indicates a locking mechanism, and "SS" stands for stainless steel.
- Swing Guard Safety: Features a classic, pivoting nickel-silver dual crossguard that folds seamlessly alongside the handle when closed and extends outward when opened to protect your fingers.
- Lockback Mechanism: A secure locking tab on the spine keeps the blade firmly fixed open during heavy-duty cutting tasks.
- Clean Blade Aesthetics: This specific iteration features a clean, mirror-polished finish without the running cheetah blade etch, providing a minimalist look preferred by many collectors.

Production Era & Age Dating
The 10 Dot designation on the tang stamp represents the production year within Case's specific decade-based dating system.

A "10 dot" stamp identifies this knife as the first year of its specific decade's run (e.g., 2010 or 2020, depending on the exact font configuration of the Case logo).
