Bradford, PA (February 5, 2007) – There’s an old saying that “everything’s big in Texas.”  Such is the inspiration behind a new 5-1/2” pocket knife named the Large Texas Toothpick, a vintage pattern that’s rarely been produced by Case in the last 65 years.  The new Case Large Texas Toothpick features a 4-1/4” long Clip blade and generous nickel-silver bolsters at each end.  It will be available in 2007 with Caribbean Blue Bone, 6.5 BoneStag, and Brown Barn Board Jigged Bone handles.

The knife’s name, “Large Texas Toothpick,” is derived from its most obvious features.  The knife’s end-to-end size makes it one of the longest pocket knives made by Case.  Its shape is accented by a pronounced curvature at one end, outlining the familiar horn shapes of the Longhorn steer, a cattle species which was popularized in Texas.  The term “toothpick” refers to the long, slender blade, which slopes at a particularly sharp angle from its tip.  

Case’s decision to revive the Large Texas Toothpick came in response to the requests of its consumers.  Case has produced smaller versions of the Toothpick for decades, such as the Tiny Texas Toothpick and folding Fishing knife variations, which remain popular among all types of knife enthusiasts.
