A new chapter

The Case Knives Kinzua has absolutely nothing to do with a traditional pocket knife, as you know it from case. The manufacturer goes completely new ways and brings in 2021 its first, really modern folder on the market. Here, powder metallurgy S35VN, flipper tab, ball bearings and aluminum as handle material are the focus.

The Blade:

Case Knives are using S35VN steel for the first time on the Kinzua, which you know from Chris Reeve’s knives, for example. This steel is not only very cut-resistant, but also hardly susceptible to rust. Case Knives have chosen an American Tano blade for the blade shape. This creates an incredibly robust tip that is also really forgiving of nasty cutting tasks. Here you can really grab it!

The Handle:

Machined entirely from aluminum, the handle scales are color anodized for a satin finish. A Framelock is responsible for the lock, which was provided with a steel insert to prevent long-term wear. To open the Kinzua, you simply press lightly on the flipper tab. Thanks to the built-in ball bearings, the blade fires out of the hilt with a lot of authority and locks cleanly and securely thanks to the lock. The picture is rounded off by a small deep-carry clip that allows the knife to disappear discreetly in your pants. Of course, this knife is also manufactured from A to Z in the USA, which is astonishing in view of the moderate price.
