EXTREMELY RARE CASE XX LIMITED EDITION 8250 SS – GENUINE MOTHER OF PEARL – ONLY 20 PRODUCED – ORIGINAL PRESENTATION BOX – USA
Offered for sale is an exceptionally scarce Limited Edition W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. Case XX 8250 SS collectible pocketknife, featuring premium Genuine Mother of Pearl handles, decorative polished bolsters, special Case XX shield and its original fitted Case presentation box.
ONLY 20 PRODUCED
The most important collector feature of this particular Case knife is its extremely limited production.
ONLY 20 OF THESE KNIVES WERE PRODUCED.
With a production run of just 20 examples, this is considerably scarcer than typical Case limited editions produced in quantities of hundreds or thousands.
This knife represents one of only 20 produced in this Limited Edition configuration.
For serious Case collectors, that extremely small production quantity is an important distinction and should not be confused with standard-production Case 8250 SS knives or other Mother of Pearl Case patterns.
Limited Edition W.R. Case & Sons
This knife was produced as a special Limited Edition Case XX collectible.
Its premium configuration includes:
Case pattern 8250 SS
Genuine Mother of Pearl handles
Only 20 produced
Special Case XX shield
Decoratively engraved polished bolsters
Stainless-steel blade/blades
Original fitted Case presentation box
The combination of an extremely small production run and Case\'s premium natural Mother of Pearl handle material makes this a particularly desirable collector configuration.
Genuine Mother of Pearl — Case Handle Code 8
This knife features Genuine Mother of Pearl, not imitation pearl.
Under Case\'s traditional pattern-numbering system, the 8 at the beginning of 8250 SS identifies the handle material as Mother of Pearl.
Mother of Pearl is a premium natural material prized for its luminous and iridescent appearance.
The handle scales on this knife display beautiful white, cream and pearlescent coloration with natural variations that change in appearance depending on lighting and viewing angle.
Because genuine Mother of Pearl is a natural material, each set of scales has its own individual character.
Case Pattern 8250 SS
The knife is identified as:
8250 SS
The pattern number is particularly important to Case collectors:
8 = Mother of Pearl handle material
SS = Stainless-steel blade configuration
Collectors frequently search Case knives by exact factory pattern, making 8250 SS an important term to include in both the title and item specifics.
Special Case XX Shield
The genuine Mother of Pearl handle features a distinctive script:
Case
XX
shield/inlay.
This differs from the standard oval CASE shield found on many ordinary production Case knives and adds to the upscale appearance of this Limited Edition example.
Decorative Engraved Bolsters
The knife features highly polished bolsters with attractive decorative engraving.
The engraving complements the luminous Mother of Pearl scales and special Case XX shield, giving the knife the appearance expected from a premium Case presentation piece.
Original Case Presentation Box
This knife includes its original fitted W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. presentation/jewelry box.
The inside lid is prominently marked:
CASE XX
W.R. CASE & SONS CUTLERY CO.
BRADFORD, PENNSYLVANIA
The knife rests in the fitted black presentation interior.
For a knife produced in such a small quantity, retaining the original Case presentation box is especially desirable and helps preserve the complete collector package.
Made in USA
W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. has a long history of manufacturing traditional American pocketknives in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
This Limited Edition Case XX 8250 SS Genuine Mother of Pearl knife — one of only 20 produced — with original presentation box represents an opportunity to add an exceptionally low-production Case knife to a serious collection.
