Case Mini Blackhorn 00253 Folder, Tru-Sharp Stainless

Product Description

The Case Mini Blackhorn 00253 is a small lockback folder with a 2.25″ Tru-Sharp stainless blade. It is part of Case’s Mini Blackhorn series and is made in the USA.

The blade is a drop point with a plain edge and an as-ground finish. It is 0.066″ thick, and the steel is listed at 55-57 hardness. A nail nick lets you open it with one thumbnail. The lockback holds the blade open while you work and keeps it from folding on your fingers.

Size and carry

The knife measures 5.38″ open and 3.13″ closed. The black synthetic handle keeps the whole knife to 1 oz, so it rides in a pocket without much notice. That makes it a good fit for people who want a knife on them every day but do not want bulk.

A plain edge on a drop point is easy to sharpen and handles common cutting jobs: opening packages, cutting cord, trimming tags, slicing food, and light camp chores. It is a sensible backup knife to keep in a range bag, truck console, or tackle box.

Gear that pairs well with it includes a small pocket sharpening stone, a pocket organizer, a lanyard, and a field kit for hunting or fishing trips. If you carry a larger fixed blade or a full-size folder, this one works as a light second knife.
