Any Love For Case Slimline Trappers

I wish they would make these in a 3.5” version. I bought this one because I like the bone texture and color.

Wouldn't that be a Mini Trapper?

Yes, but I would like a slimline version! As I get older, I don’t seem to need as much knife in my pocket as I used to.

I like the barehead Slimline Trappers. One covered in Old Red Bone and one in Rosewood.

View attachment 1269889 View attachment 1269887 I have really come to enjoy this pattern! Easy in the pocket, but cuts like a bigger knife. Not wimpy at all like some may think, this knife can do real work.
In the upper photo, the two on the left are older and still have the factory edge and the bone is awesome!
The jigged Delrin and yellow are both cv with patina that the my crummy photo doesn't show and I carry and use each of them often.
The one on the right is a Boker. Perhaps a little better fit and finish, but a very light spring, otherwise very nice to use. The blade sticks up a little higher, so easier to pinch open than the Case versions, but all of them are quit pinchable.
And they look sexy, too, right!

Hello. A newbie to the forum here and this is my first post/comment. Though not a collector, I am an avid fan of two blade Case Slimline Trappers. I often carry a yellow handle carbon blade trapper that appears pretty old. The two blade you posted above is one of my most coveted trappers when I find one in good shape. I have one with the clip blade missing and hope to one day find someone who can fit it with the clip blade to go along with the great spay blade the old knife has. I love that Boker also, a friend of mine has one of those I'm trying to deal him out of.
