Description

This is a stunning limited edition Case XX stag handle trapper pocket knife commemorating the University of Kentucky Wildcats' 1998 NCAA Championship, nicknamed 'Tubby and The Boys' after first-year head coach Tubby Smith's Cinderella championship run. The knife model number 5254 SS is serial numbered 1668, making this a numbered collectible piece presented in its original ivory and blue velvet-lined presentation case with gold trim. Both blades feature crisp laser etching including 'Kentucky Wildcats,' 'Tubby and The Boys,' 'N.C.A.A. Champs 1998,' and the championship game score 'U.K. 78 - Utah 69,' while the genuine stag handle is adorned with an enameled Kentucky Wildcats medallion shield. The knife remains in excellent unsharpened collector condition and includes its original certificate card and outer sleeve, making this the complete package every Big Blue Nation fan and Case knife collector dreams about.
