Vintage Case Copperhead Knives

The Copperhead pocket knife is known for its distinctive bolster design, which resembles the head of a copperhead snake.  This unique bolster shape serves a practical purpose by preventing pocket snags, making it a more comfortable carry. Copperhead knives typically feature two blades, a clip point and a pen blade, although some variations exist.

Case has made Copperhead knives since the 1920s, way back in the “Tested Era” which typically featured green bone handles and a “bomb style” shield. The Case Copperheads of the 1940s through 1970s were very popular in red bone.  The traditional features combined with the unique bolster shape make the Copperhead knife a favorite among collectors.
