Product Description
A beautiful vintage 1980 Case XX 5185 SSP Doctor's Knife featuring genuine stag handles and the classic slim single-blade Doctor's Knife pattern.
The reverse tang is clearly stamped 5185 SSP, identifying the knife as Case's genuine stag, single-blade 85 pattern. The opposite tang carries the CASE XX / USA marking with the 1980-era dot configuration.
The 5185 features a long, narrow spear-style blade, genuine stag handle scales, nickel-silver bolsters, brass pins and the traditional Case oval shield. The distinctive flat-ended Doctor's Knife frame was historically designed as a compact gentleman's/utility pattern.
Published specifications for this exact 1980 5185 SSP list approximately 3⅝ inches closed and 6⅝ inches overall, with stainless-steel blade and springs.
The stag on this particular knife is especially attractive, with considerable natural variation from creamy amber areas to deep brown figuring.
The photographs show the actual knife being offered.
