Case Pink Crackle Kirinite® Cheetah® Cub (16166) - COMING SOON!

2026 Case XX® Vault Pattern

The Cheetah® Cub, part of the Cheetah® knife family, returns from the Case XX Vault in 2026, bringing back a compact pattern known for its signature swing guard and recognizable Cheetah profile. First introduced in 2005 as a scaled-down version of the original Cheetah, it trims the frame to 3 1/2 inches for a size comparable to the Mini CopperLock®. Throughout 2026, the Cheetah Cub will be available in a wide range of handle options, but only for a limited time as part of the Vault program. Add one to your collection while you can, before it heads back into retirement!

This Cheetah® Cub is part of the new Pink Crackle Kirinite® Family.  With its vibrant, fun handle, Black Case Oval Shield, Tru-Sharp stainless steel blade, and Case’s quality workmanship, it's a knife you can enjoy for many years to come.

Note: Because Case uses hand-crafting and natural materials, your knife may not look exactly as depicted.
