Historical Note

Case’s Premium XXX Grade series emerged during a period of renewed interest in finely decorated traditional pocketknives. These early-1990s limited runs often featured elaborate etching, premium bone handles, and brass embellishments—making them favorites among long-time Case collectors.

The 1991 series is notable for its refined scrollwork blade etch and its thicker red bone scale coloration, which stands out sharply among Case releases of the same era.

Collector’s Note

Numbered limited editions with original packaging continue to hold and climb in collector value. With its preserved condition, vibrant presentation, and deep etching, No. 134 is a standout investment piece and an ideal addition to any Case XX or traditional-pattern collection.
