Case Opener Knife Tool Right Handed Hand Tool

A snap-on case back needs a firm edge set directly into the opening notch. We shape the handle of the 6987 to fit the palm of the right hand, giving steady purchase while you lever the seam. The blade profile is ground to slip into the lip of the back without wandering across the metal.

Right handed profile

The handle body is contoured specifically for the right palm. It fills the grip so your thumb can guide the blade nose directly toward the opening lip.

Ground opener blade

We grind the blade with a tapered working edge that enters narrow case seams. The profile focuses leverage right at the pry notch on a snap back.

Handle balance

Weight sits evenly through the length of the tool body. This balance keeps the knife steady in the fingers as you apply pressure along the joint of the case.

Bench storage

Keep the knife laid flat in your bench drawer or upright in a wooden block. Dressing the edge occasionally on an India stone clears away small nicks from stubborn backs.
