Interesting Case XX here. The tang stamp dates it to 1950-1964. I havent seen one with these types of handles. Looks to be brass with black and red enamel. The closest I can find is a Case XX fly fishing knife as it has multiple fold outs including a file.
Impossible to even find a picture of this one online.
Any insight would be appreciated. (approximate value and model name)

“Toledo scale”, Case pattern 105. If you put “Case Toledo Scale” in your search you should find plenty.
Nice looking example.

It is a pattern # T3105 SS, a "lobster" pattern penknife. Case collectors call this the "Toledo Scale" since the handel patterns are like the aretwork from Toledo, Spain.
Case made these in about 1957. When they discontinued it they had enough blades left over to make about 2,000 more but they dropped it becuase they could no longer source the handles.
In 1973 they were aboe to get more handles made, and they completed the remaining 2,000 knives. The new handles are slightly differnt.
Yours is one of the originals, and let me say that the originals are quite rare. 99% of the examples of htis pattern that you see for sale are the newer ones.
The difference is hard to describe but I can post a pic tomorrow - the new handles had dots stamped all around the perimieter.

I found a picture of one of the later ones with the dots that you mention...
