Vintage Case 1973 7-Dot Red Bone Cheetah

The history behind the Cheetah pattern is fascinating, spanning from its origins in the late 19th century to its resurgence in the early 21st century. The 11 1/2 pattern, as it's known, has a rich heritage dating back to the Case Brothers Era, which ran from 1896 to 1915. However, it wasn't until the early 1970s that the name "Cheetah" was formally associated with this distinctive knife design. The Cheetah® is a single-bladed knife with a locking Clip blade and a swing guard safety feature.
