Pocket knives with an inlay shield
A shield is an inlay set into a knife's handle. Case calls its shield an "eye-catching label" that is "precisely embedded into the handle of most Case knives," and says "Its job is to help you identify a genuine Case knife when you see one." Kershaw's product page for one of its slipjoints names "a polished nickel shield insert" in a bone handle.
A shield sits in the handle itself. Case's 2019 release for its Bose Bullnose Trapper describes "a Case arrowhead shield" that is "pinned by hand into the handle," and lists it apart from that knife's "satin finished stainless steel bolsters," a fitting the bolster entry treats on its own. Kershaw's word for the part is "shield insert."
The job Case names, identifying a genuine Case knife, is Case's statement about its own knives. Where a shield sits among a folder's other parts is mapped in the parts of a pocket knife.
Case's product pages give its shields design names, "Brass Bomb Shield," "Case oval script shield," "Red Oval Case Shield" and "Arrowhead shield," and its Small Congress page names "the Case Bomb Shield." Bomb Shield and Arrowhead are Case's own names, and the Brass Bomb Shield is the one name in that list that states a metal.
On a listing, "inlay shield" is the product data's wording, and what a given shield shows is whatever the product data for that listing states.
