WW2 Canadian Army Clasp Knife Maker Case XX

The WW2 Canadian Army Clasp Knife, manufactured by Case XX, is a utilitarian folding knife issued to Canadian military personnel during the Second World War. Featuring robust construction, the knife typically includes a stainless steel spearpoint blade, a large marlin spike for ropework, and a flathead screwdriver or bottle opener tool. The handle is composed of nickel-plated steel scales with a lanyard attachment, allowing for secure handling and attachment to gear. Each knife is marked with the “Case XX” maker stamp and may also display Canadian military acceptance marks. Designed for field use, the clasp knife served a variety of functions, including maintenance tasks, food preparation, and handling equipment such as ropes and wires. The Case XX variant was produced in the United States for Canadian contracts and is distinguished by its durable materials and practical design, reflecting military specifications of the period. These knives are regarded as significant examples of WWII-era Canadian military equipment.
