Case Trapper - pleasantly surprised!

Went to the city today and came home with this:

(click to enlarge)


Case (full size) 3254CV Trapper. This is a great knife - no blade play when open, centered in the liners when closed, backsprings flush opened & closed, both blades have equal pull & snap, and the edge grinds were the best I've seen from Case - even and shaving sharp out of the box! No half stops, which is a plus for me. It's a beautiful knife and feels great in the hand, and carries well vertically in my right front pocket next to my wallet. I didn't know I needed this knife, but after handling it I couldn't go home without it.

Buying over the 'net sure is handy ..... click, click, click ..... a few days later the mailman puts a package in the mailbox. Walking into a bricks & mortar store, being able to handle the knives and walking out with the knife you picked is best!

Congrats! There's a reason why that's Case's best selling pattern. Stout knife and a reliable companion. :thumbup:

I have a Case Trapper with Amber bone scales that I had the spey blade removed and it is great. It is great I always have it with me and use it often.

Can't stand 'em. They're terrible. I have several of them.

Case is making some amazing stuff these days. They're one of the few brands that I'd buy on the internet, although going to one of the local gun/knife shops and personally choosing one is an experience you just can't get anywhere else.

thx - cpr

Agreed. As a matter of fact, my yella CV trapper was the knife I selected to tote while I was getting dressed this morning. Those cv blades take a ludicrous edge.

I have a couple myself- great knives, easy to see why it is such a popular pattern.

Very nice. Case quality is top-notch these days. This Trapper is the knife I carry more than any of my other slipjoint knives along with the Case Trapper Sheath I carry it in sometimes. The sheath is well made. When not carrying it in the sheath, I carry it in my right front pocket laying along the bottom seam of the pocket.

I like the Trapper so much with the Yellow Derlin handles that I have two (NIB) besides this one in case (God forbid) I lose it.

You made a good choice coyote711. That CV blade sharpens up nicely.

Oh, you can get that sheath from SMKW. Not shilling for them -- just saying where I got mine. Their product number for it is CA980.
