Case Muskrat Pocket Worn Gray Bone, 58418, MUSKRAT CS pocket knife

You open the Case Knives with two hands. To make this easier, there’s a nail nick which gives you a little extra grip using your fingernail. This pocket knife is not equipped with a full lock, only with a slipjoint mechanism. This provides some resistance to prevent the knife from snapping shut during normal use. However, if you press on the spine of the blade, the knife will shut.



Blade made of 1095 carbon steel
The blade of this Case Muskrat Pocket Worn Gray Bone, 58418, MUSKRAT CS pocket knife is made of 1095 carbon steel, one of the oldest steel types that is still being used today. It is a common choice for outdoor knive and Traditionals: classic pocket knives that deserve a classic blade. 1095 is a tough type of steel that is easy to sharpen to a razor-sharp edge, even with limited resources. This makes it a popular choice for knives that see a lot of use in the field: all you need is a simple sharpening stone to get your sharp edge back.

1095-carbon steel is not very corrosion-resistant. In fact, it discolours pretty quickly when it comes into contact with moisture and/or salt and acid. So clean the knife after use and give it a drop of oil every now and then. Over time, 1095 steel does form a patina. This makes it less susceptible to corrosion.



The blade has been polished, this is a premium blade finish that leaves no room for error. A polished blade ensures minimal friction while cutting, making the knife cut like a dream.



Handle made from bone

Traditional: the Muskrat pattern
The Muskrat is named after the animal originally skinned with it. A Muskrat pocket knife has two blades that are usually identical to each other.
