For the first time ever, Case has added an assisted opener to their iconic knives!  With the Case Kickstart Mid-Folding Hunters, Case introduces their first family of assisted openers.  There are seven different styles in this series, each of which will feature Case’s patented Kickstart Technology.  Best of all, they are still everything you expect out of a Case knife.

Each knife in this series features a 3” clip point blade that is deployed via the thumb stud activated assisted opening mechanism. The action on these knives is both smooth and fast. Once the blade is deployed, the stainless-steel liner houses a sturdy linerlock which keeps the blade securely locked.

With a tip-down pocket clip, and a closed length of 4”, the Case Kickstart Mid-Folding Hunters are the easy carry you’ve come to expect from Case knives. Now you just have the choice of carrying them either in your pocket or via the pocket clip.

As always, each knife features nickel silver pins, bolsters, and an embedded shield.
