Case Smooth Light Blue Synthetic Baby Butterbean
Item #: CS-68903
$63.95
Several times a year W. R. Case and Sons® will release what they call a seasonal introduction. Usually these are knives that do not go into their main lineup and have a limited life. The light blue synthetic handle scale folder was introduced as part of their Spring 2025 releases.
The knives in this family all have smooth Light Blue sythetic handle scales with the black Case oval shield in the handle. The bolsters are nickel silver while the liners and pins are brass. The Baby Butterbean is sometimes called a Baby Canoe because when the blades are closed it has the shape of a traditional American canoe. The two blades are a 1-7/8" spearpoint blade and a 1-3/8" pen blade. The blades are all mirror polished Case's Tru-Sharp™ surgical stainless with a hardness at 54-57 Rc. A slip joint; meaning the blades do not lock. Measures 2-3/4" closed. Weighs 1.3 oz. Made in the U.S.A. Suggested retail is $90.30.

Case Knives
W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is an American manufacturer of traditional pocket knives, limited edition commemoratives and collectibles. It makes American made traditional pocket knives in a variety of patterns, blade styles, and handle materials. They are particularly well known for their specialized dying process - creating beautiful and colorful bone handles. Case prefers to use their proprietary Tru-Sharp stainless steel. Tru-Sharp sharpens and polishes easily and is enjoyed by collectors all over.
The roots of the company span all the way back to 1889. W.,R. Case & Sons notably made knives in World War 1, notably the M3 Fighting Knife for servicemen and the V-42 stiletto for the Devil’s Brigade. They also made knives for NASA astronauts for when they touched back down on earth and were waiting to be picked up. The Case Company is currently owned by the Zippo Manufacturing Company, based in the same city, which is well known for their Zippo lighters. You can see great synergy between the companies as they share equipment and expertise like inlaid dyed bone handles and laser engraving machinery.
