Case uses \u003cstrong\u003eCPM S35VN stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, a premium powder-metallurgy steel known for its combination of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and practical sharpenability. It gives the Crossroads XR considerably more modern blade performance than Case's traditional Tru-Sharp® stainless offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Denim Micarta brings another contemporary element to the design. Made using fabric layers bonded with resin, Micarta develops a distinctive woven appearance and provides a durable handle material well suited to an everyday working knife. The blue denim look also gives this version character without losing the straightforward appearance of the original Barlow pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crossroads construction is intentionally different from Case's traditional pinned pocket knives. Its modern screwed-together design allows the knife to be disassembled for cleaning and maintenance while retaining the familiar nail-nick opening and slip-joint action of a traditional folder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crossroads Series represents an interesting direction for Case: rather than replacing its traditional patterns with modern folders, Case is \u003cstrong\u003emodernizing the traditional patterns themselves\u003c\/strong\u003e.
