Small in size. Big in legacy. Ready to move.

Twenty years after its original debut, Case has chosen the Cheetah Cub pattern as its 2026 Vault Pattern. The new and improved Cheetah Cub is not just an ordinary everyday pocket accessory. It’s a precision instrument that can bite into whatever kind of work you can serve up. Plus with its Limited 2026 availability its a collector’s dream.
The Cheetah Cub returns from the Case XX Vault in 2026, bringing back a compact pattern known for its signature swing guard and recognizable Cheetah profile. First introduced in 2005 as a scaled-down version of the original Cheetah, it trims the frame to 3 1/2 inches for a size comparable to the Mini CopperLock®. Throughout 2026, the Cheetah Cub will be available in a wide range of handle options, but only for a limited time as part of the Vault program. Add one to your collection while you can, before it heads back into retirement.
