Case Cheetah Smooth Natural Bone ~ No Shield ~ 2022

Case Cheetah Smooth Natural Bone (6111 1/2L SS) is a premium, single-blade traditional folding pocket knife manufactured by W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. in Bradford, Pennsylvania. This specific variation features a clean aesthetic with no handle shield, highlighting the raw, sleek look of the polished bone. 

• Pattern Number: 6111 1/2L SS (The "6" indicates bone handle, "1" is the number of blades, "11 1/2" represents the frame pattern, "L" signifies the lockback mechanism, and "SS" denotes surgical stainless steel).
• Closed Length: 4.38 inches 
• Weight: 3.5 ounces 
• Production Year: 2022. 
  

• Handle Material: Highly polished, Smooth Natural Bone harvested from cattle. Because it is left completely unstained and free of jigging, the handle showcases unique, subtle ivory-toned grain patterns unique to each individual knife. 
• No Shield: This distinct version intentionally omits the classic inlaid metal Case shield on the show-side scale, offering a rare minimalist and unbroken surface area that collectors highly value. 
• Blade Geometry: Features a mirror-polished Tru-Sharp™ surgical stainless steel Clip blade. The high-carbon steel blend optimizes edge retention, blade strength, and offers superior rust resistance. 
• Swing Guard Safety: Equipped with a classic operating nickel-silver swing guard. When closed, the guard rests flat against the frame; upon opening, it rotates forward to act as a physical hand barrier, preventing your fingers from sliding onto the cutting edge. 
• Locking Mechanism: Utilizes a reliable lockback design where a spine-release bar securely snaps into the blade tang upon full deployment to ensure it will not accidentally fold during heavy use. 
• Hardware & Construction: Crafted with mirror-polished nickel silver bolsters, solid brass pins, and structural brass liners to ensure rigid assembly and timeless longevity.
