Case Trapper CS

Traditional PocketFolding

DiscontinuedCase no longer makes this knife in this configuration. See Case’s current knives.

The same two-blade trapper pattern as the Tru-Sharp version — a 3.25" clip and a spey blade on one slip-joint frame — in Case's chrome vanadium carbon steel with a black synthetic handle in place of amber bone. It dulls sooner than the stainless and comes back on a stone in seconds, which is the trade traditional pocket knives have always made.

Why a clip point

The front third of the spine is 'clipped' away in a concave sweep, dropping the point below the spine line and putting it out in front. That makes a finer, more controllable tip than a drop point — better for piercing, slightly weaker under load. The Buck 110 pattern is the archetype.

About Chrome Vanadium

Case's traditional carbon steel, sold alongside the same patterns in stainless Tru-Sharp. It is softer than modern powder steels by design: it dulls sooner and comes back on a stone in seconds, which is the trade traditional pocket knives have always made.

1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All Chrome Vanadium knives
