Trapper

I have carried a yellow handled case trapper for years. Just like my dad and grandpa. I like the carbon blades. They get a patina to them over the years. From cutting net off hay bales and rubber hoses to cutting bull calves and steaks at dinner. They are sharp, hold an edge well and sharpen easily. The yellow is great for me. It stands out if I drop it in the hay field or leave it on the work bench. Case still makes good quality knives. I’m sure just like I did my son will carry on the tradition of carrying a yellow handle case trapper.

Live this knife keeps its edge and have carried one since I was a kid

Great quality!

Beautiful knife and well worth the price!

Beautiful knife!Not a flaw with the fit and finish, and the yellow synthetic scales are more the color of yellowed ivory or bone, which I’m quite pleased with.The knife had No factory edge to speak of and I had to give it some TLC in that respect, but I never expect a good factory edge from any knife and prefer to do it myself anyhow.The carbon steel blades took a very sharp edge quickly and I forced a nice gray patina on the blades all easily within an hour.

This is my second Case knife ever, first one I ordered the bone stag (bone made to look like antler) Case Trapper and I thought I was receiving Carbon Steel, but received Stainless Steel due to Amazon’s poor inventory control/order selecting, wasn’t horribly miffed about it but was still semi disappointed after I got everything to care for a Carbon Steel knife. Love the first one I ordered, perfect SS (stainless steel) knife in all regards, quality, look, functionality (needed light sharpening to get the tiny burrs out) etc… but I still wanted a Carbon knife.So I got this one, first impression pretty good, not nearly as much sharpening needed as light as the last one, probably due to the nature of CS (Carbon Steel). I will say it isn’t quite of snappy so far when opening and closing, locks up good, the put away is a little catchy, but I expect that will smooth out, the important function is there. There are slight differences in the blade tips (seen in pictures) on both, not an issue just observations, both blades are a tad pointer on this CS which is nice. There is one blemish on the spade blade but it’s hardly noticeable (spot that shiny notch in the third to last picture) plus another on the other blade where the tip is slightly crooked to the right (seen in the two last picture) and to be honest who cares on a knife at this price? $200 or more sure, but it doesn’t effect anything in realistic use, if you’re super particular you might care but I won’t bother with a replacement over issues so small.Can’t wait to see how this blade patinas and any rusting should be on me since I’ve done the research on how to care for it. Don’t let it discourage you on buying a Carbon Steel version, I live in a dry State so it should be easier to maintain, I see a lot of comments on these knives that they rust easy but honestly I don’t think they know much about the nature of Carbon knives. If you’re worried get SS, I got these knives specifically for Quality Control at a produce warehouse so SS is great for that, the CS will be more everyday use but I wouldn’t mind seeing what an apple or peach does to the natural patina at work, just wipe your knife dry after using it on food!

What a beautiful Case knife! Fit and finish are perfect, and it came out of the box wicked sharp! I am more than satisfied. Thanks to Shepard Hills for being a supplier you can count on.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Case Knives. This one is such a work horse and is the perfect design for anyone that wants a good classic EDC. The blade is easy to sharpen and the knife is the perfect size to stick in your pocket.

Totalmente de mi agrado las hojas de cromado perfecto, simplemente hermosa definitivamente la volvería a comprar nuevamente

Me esperaba una navaja mas filosa, pero esta bien. El tamaño de las hojas es grande, el envío demoró un poco pero llego bien.Update: la navaja si esta filosa, la use para "limpiar" una codorniz y el desempeño fue bueno. el único problemas es que la hoja de la navaja presenta unas manchas que no he podido quitarle...

Excelente producto
