{"product_id":"case-00253-mini-blackhorn-lockback-black","title":"Case 00253 Mini Blackhorn Lockback Folding Knife — Tru-Sharp Stainless, Black Zytel Handle","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSlim, lightweight, and always ready — the Case 00253 Mini Blackhorn is the compact everyday carry folder built for those who want reliable Case quality in the most pocketable package possible. Part of Case's modern working knife line, this is the knife that slips into an executive pocket, a briefcase, a purse, or a bag without a second thought — and delivers when called upon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Mini Blackhorn is a departure from Case's traditional slip-joint designs, combining the look and feel of a classic folding knife with the added security of a fully locking lockback mechanism. The locking drop point blade engages automatically when fully opened, holding firmly in place during use — and releases with a simple push of the tumbler at the top of the handle for safe, controlled closing. It's the best of both worlds: the slim profile and approachable aesthetics of a traditional folder with the blade security of a modern locking knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 2.25\" drop point blade is crafted from Case Tru-Sharp surgical stainless steel (56-58 HRC) with an as-ground finish — delivering excellent edge retention, extraordinary blade strength, and solid corrosion resistance for everyday use. The drop point geometry is the ideal all-purpose blade shape, equally capable of detail work, cutting, carving, and general utility tasks. The lightweight black Zytel synthetic handle is slim, comfortable, and durable — featuring a texturized finish for added grip security and a convenient lanyard hole at the base for attachment to keys, bags, or gear. At just 1 oz and 3.13\" closed, this is genuinely one of the lightest and most carry-friendly knives in the Case lineup. Handcrafted in Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePattern: Mini Blackhorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePattern Stamp: 059L SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Length: 2.25\" (5.72 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eClosed Length: 3.13\" (7.95 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNumber of Blades: 1 (Locking Drop Point)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Steel: Tru-Sharp Surgical Stainless Steel (56-58 HRC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Finish: As-Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Edge: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Material: Lightweight Black Zytel Synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Finish: Texturized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLocking Mechanism: Lockback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLanyard Hole: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 1.0 oz (28.35 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUPC: 021205002538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in Bradford, PA, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn Stock \u0026amp; Ready to Ship from ClassicBlades.
