I just picked up a Case yellow large Trapper in CV steel off ebay a few days ago, and after working the edges down where I wanted them, I am pretty happy with it. It has excellent action, and very strong backsprings.
I have been carrying it and using it, and it is starting to develop some patina.
I don't have much in it, so it is going to be seeing a lot of use as a semi-beater pocketknife, although I am not really hard on any knife...I love them too much to be cruel to them.
For basic utility, it is hard to improve on proven, traditional designs and simple carbon steel.
