Case Copperhead

[JohnDF]

I prefer a Jack over a Trapper... unless it's a Trapper with a Clip and a Wharncliffe.

 

[Duper]

I absolutely agree with picking a copperhead over a trapper. I wonder why Case does not have this as their flagship two blade knife with a multitude of variations into perpetuity?

If they made a copperhead in cv steel with the clip and an equal length wharncliffe blade I'd be all over every variation they produced. That said I don't find myself missing the full sized spey blade of the trapper. The pen blade is rather large and capable of finer cutting work when you don't need 3" of blade

Same here. I prefer the main large clip and the smaller secondary pen for a wider variety of uses/finer tasks. I personally don’t have a need for two blades that are essentially the same length, just with different points.

That same space is proportionally there with any Jack knife. In the Case line, from a Peanut to a Texas Jack, Medium Jack and the Copperhead with Pen for example.
Fans of a Jack knife won't complain. On the other hand, fans of Trapper knives would agree with you. Personally, I prefer a Jack over a Trapper ... and really not sure exactly why, just do.
Guess it all boils down to personal preference.

Same here. I like Jacks better and don’t know why really.

I like the Case Copperheads so much I bought two - the Amber Bone CV and Patriotic Kirinite Tru-Sharp.

One of my favorite patterns. I tried to grab a few, several years back about when they were discontinued. Here is a photo of some of them - with a couple of the "mini" versions as well. I have a couple more not pictured - the navy blue bone with the "wharncliffe" main, similar to the red and yellow, and the regular clip main in Molasses Barnboard Jigged, which is my favorite of them all.

I am glad they brought the pattern back for others to appreciate. I am well done buying any new ones. I think these will last me.

This is the Case Collector's Club version:

I’ve never owned a Copperhead . Seen an online retailer had their Case Copperhead on close out this morning for about $ 50 .00 delivered so I couldn’t resist. Got one in Kentucky blue grass jigged bone to try out .

Well I got my very own Case Copperhead today! Its one of the nicest Case knives I have even gotten, and I am thrilled. Its a great size, looks and feels great, and I cant wait to put it to use.

The copperhead is probably my favorite pattern by Case

hasn't left my pocket since i got one a couple weeks ago. in terms of cliches like "a real workhorse" I believe it's an actual workhorse of a pattern. enjoy

It seems like it will be. Its a stout knife, built just a large Trapper and with big blades supported by a large bolster. Im glad you like yours.

The Copperhead is a nice solid pattern, to be sure. As someone else indicated, I would also enjoy a variant with a long clip and long wharncliffe. The closest model they ran was the ones with the double wharncliffes.


Here is my recent Copperhead pick up.

 

[Boattale]

I like them just fine as long as they have amber bone covers and CV blades. Preferred over trapper by me.

 

[Arathol]

I've acquired a few over the years, but the only one that got carried a lot was this chestnut bone 549L

These I got some 20 years ago at SMKW

And this EZ49 I've had for years
