Description
This is the holy grail for University of Kentucky basketball fans and Case XX knife collectors alike -- a limited edition commemorative trapper knife honoring Adolph Rupp, 'The Baron of Basketball,' and his legendary 880 career wins at Kentucky. Made by Case XX USA, this classic trapper pattern (model 6254) features a rich dark walnut handle with nickel silver bolsters, one of which is stamped with the edition number 283, confirming its place in a numbered limited run. Both blades are etched in blue with Rupp's facsimile signature, his portrait, and the inscriptions 'The Baron of Basketball' and 'Adolph Rupp 880 Career Wins,' making this a genuine piece of college basketball history you can hold in your hand. The knife rests in its original dark brown presentation box with gold velvet lining and a brass identification plaque, and the outer cardboard sleeve features the vintage Kentucky Wildcats logo -- complete, authentic, and ready to anchor any serious collection.
