Case slimline trappers,who likes them,pros,cons?

[J Buck]

I have 3, and love them all. For some reason I don't really carry them much...until I read a thread like this and then I scramble around to put one in my pocket!

I have a couple in yellow and CV. It is a bit embarrassing....I always carry some sort of fancy fixed blade averaging a bit north of $200 when hunting deer but almost without fail I end up using a slimline for most of the dressing and skinning when I get one. They are just so light, fast, and easy to put the edge exactly right where it needs to go without fighting a bulky handle or awkward blade height.

Let it soak in soapy water for a few, rinse well with scalding hot water. Let drain and air open for a bit on a towel.Strop, lube, put back in bag and go get another one.

I do find the handle a bit small and lacking for real work needing lots of hand pressure but for scalpel style flesh and food work it works great for me.

little wider and longer blade would be perfect

Maybe, but then it wouldn't be slimline Blade is longer than most already....

Keep an eye out for a GEC Ben Hogan.

The Case version of the wider/longer Slimline Trapper is called the "Trapper."
