The XX-Changer knife is a 5" folding knife with a lockback feature and exchangeable blades for multiple uses. There are four interchangeable blades to answer the call for any job thrown your way. These blades include the Clip blade, the Gut Hook, the Drop Point blade, and the Saw blade. The Clip blade is commonly used as a multi-purpose blade and preferred for detail work.

The Saw blade is used for sawing bone and a variety of outdoor uses including cutting through small twigs.
The Saw blade even offers a screwdriver tip. To switch out the blades use the release button on the end of the knife, fold the blade to a 90 degree angle, and pull the blade in an upward motion. This knife includes a genuine leather sheath with individual blade pockets. This knife is constructed with Case Tru-Sharp stainless steel which is a special high-carbon steel that helps the blades hold an edge longer than conventional steel.

W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company of Bradford, Pennsylvania, is one of the most recognized names in the knife industry. The company, which has made handcrafted knives since 1889, has introduced innovation while continuing to make knives the old-fashioned way - through the hands of skilled craftsmen.
Case offers knives to fit virtually any need, from the convenience of a handy pocketknife to working and hunting knives and specialty cutlery such as the RussLock® which can be opened with one hand and this year�?s new Mini Trapper with Golf Tool and Hobo® with Spoon. Case offers hundreds of different styles of knives, including many original designs such as the popular CopperLock�?, Baby Butterbean, Sod Buster® and XX-Changer®.
Case�?s commitment to quality begins with the materials used in production and is perfected by the talented hands of the master craftsmen and skilled employees who make Case knives.
Only the finest handle materials are used by Case. Materials include: imported Brazilian cattle bone used because of its density and strength; hardwoods such as rosewood; elegant mother-of-pearl and the new turquoise and black Jet stone.
In addition to a wide variety of handle materials, Case distinguishes certain handles with specially created patterns called jigs. Jigged bone is bone that has been notched to give it a rough texture. Jigging is done by hand for any knife sporting a Vintage Bone handle. Case has a variety of jig patterns including: Smooth, Standard, Rogers, Corn Cob, Rogers Corn Cob and PeachSeed.
Case customers have a choice of two different types of steel: the convenience of TruSharp�? surgical steel, a high-carbon stainless cutlery steel, or the tradition of chrome vanadium. While the surgical steel blades are easier to maintain and more resistant to rust and corrosion, many traditionalists prefer chrome vanadium, the original type of blade used by Case.
Case spares no expense on the internal components of its knives. While the average consumer doesn�?t always notice the genuine brass liners or the nickel silver bolsters, these special touches are key to making a knife that will last for generations.
Perhaps the most famous quality assurance Case has is the distinctive �?XX�? that each Case knife wears like a badge of honor. The stamp of quality on each Case knife blade signifies that the blade has been properly tempered and tested �? not once, but twice. It is more time consuming to produce a Case knife �? on average, each knife takes eight weeks to make and is touched by more than 125 sets of hands �? but the folks at Case believe the end result is a knife unlike any other on the market today.
