The Case XX 55234 Pocket Worn Mahogany Bone Peanut delivers classic American craftsmanship in a compact two-blade configuration. This traditional slip joint knife features genuine mahogany bone scales with Case's signature Pocket Worn finish that provides an aged, well-used appearance straight from the factory.
What Makes This Different
The Pocket Worn finish sets this knife apart from standard Case offerings by eliminating the break-in period typically required for new knives. Case applies a specialized aging process that softens the blade action and creates the patina collectors typically achieve through years of carry. The mahogany bone handles showcase rich amber and brown striations that make each knife unique, while the compact 3.625-inch closed length fits comfortably in any pocket.

Field performance centers on the reliable slip joint mechanism that holds blades securely during use while allowing easy one-handed closing. The high-carbon steel takes an extremely sharp edge and maintains it through extended cutting tasks. Both blades feature proper geometry for general utility work, from opening packages to food preparation. The mahogany bone scales provide excellent grip even when wet, making this suitable for outdoor activities where reliability matters.
