Case XX USA 6265 SS Folding Hunter Knife – Early 2000s – Wood Handles w/ Box & Leather Sheath

This early 2000s Case XX 6265 SS Folding Hunter is a beautifully preserved example of American knife craftsmanship. Featuring richly grained wood handles with a deep jigged pattern, bright nickel silver bolsters, and two stainless steel blades — this large-frame folding knife is both practical and collectible.

It comes complete with its original leather belt sheath embossed with Case and lion emblems, plus the original green Case box. A hard-to-find complete set from the era when Case was blending traditional forms with premium stainless materials.

Condition
Excellent condition overall. Both blades are unsharpened with factory edges and strong snap. Handles are smooth and tight with clean jigging. Sheath is unused with crisp stamping. Box shows minor shelf wear. A top-shelf example for display or carry. This knife ships wrapped in acid-free archival tissue to help preserve both the blade and handle during transit and storage.

Historical Note
The 6265 pattern has been one of Case’s premier large-frame folders since the mid-20th century. Traditionally favored by outdoorsmen and tradesmen, it combines working-class durability with collector-friendly style. This early 2000s issue preserves the legacy with stainless blades and handsome wood handles — less common than synthetic in this era.

Collector’s Note
A desirable find for those building out a Case pattern collection or focusing on transitional stainless-era knives. The inclusion of the original box and leather sheath makes it even more appealing to both users and collectors alike.
