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 Copperhead 6249
Case XX USA 10 Dot (1970) Copperhead

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.
