Hi all..
Looking for info (want to buy) a tiny trapper yellow handle . synthetic smooth
Only heard of them never seen one.

Check out a Case dealer. It's called delrin (the yellow handles). Of course there is dyed bone too these days. GEC does that from time to time.
 
Yeah..... the typical Case Mini Trapper is about 3.5" closed. That may not be "tiny". To get much smaller, you probably need to consider a pen or peanut pattern to get below 3" closed length.
 
Case makes a pattern called the "Tiny Trapper". 2 3/8" long.

I assume that's what this new member is looking for. I checked my usual spots but no luck.
 
Some of the tiny trappers I’ve seen were only 2 3/4 inch closed and 1.6 inch blade. That’s shorter than the peanut pattern. I have a hard enough time trying to keep a grasp on a peanut so I like at least a 3 1/4 closed. Tiny trappers are cute and small but big in price.
 
That is certainly "tiny". I hadn't seen that one although it is a tad small for me. The Peanut is about as small as I go now. Not a trapper, but it is a jack knife pattern which includes the trapper. It's 2.75" closed (Rough Ryder brand) and under $10. I have a couple of their peanuts and they are generally pretty nice little knives.

Oops, I meant to say 2 3/8 closed on the tiny trappers. I guess I’m not quite awake yet.
 
Doing Google searches for "Case tiny trapper" or "Rough Rider tiny trapper" yields plenty of results. But no yellow delrin. All colors of bone, white or blue delrin. Maybe you can find another color that works. Good luck in your search.

edit: I took "delrin" out of the search parameters. Rough Rider makes a yellow one. Not expensive at all. Under five bucks from a few vendors.

And, my experiences with Rough Rider have all been good. I have a couple and ordered another this morning. I don't know how they can sell such a nice knife SO cheap.
 
Case has announced a knife pattern release from the vault. The Pocket Hunter. Many handle options including synthetic yellow. Small like a Peanut. maybe something to consider. One or two blade options.

Case peanuts are 2 3/4 closed , the tiny trapper is 2 3/8.

You are correct, I posted a recount in a follow up post. I guess I wasn’t fully awake yet. Lol
 
Rough Rider makes or made a tiny trapper. I don't know if they have it in yellow though.
I had one with imitation tortious shell.
My poltergeist that lived in my truck like it so much, she took it to her home realm and left it there.
First knife she never brought back. :(

I need to order a mini wharncliffe trapper. Looks like a very practical combination.

When I looked them up at the one retailer's website (we know which one as they carry all of the Case slip joints), I got that itch too. We're such enablers here!

My first knife was a tiny pen knife (probably 2.5" or less); guessing it was a pen knife. I was in the first grade and I thought it the berries! But as I grew a little I realized it wasn't much good for the stuff I did like carve initials, cut sticks, and so forth. It may still be around in some box from my childhood, don't know. That was back when I was a junior pilot and member of the Huckleberry Hound fan club. Those were the days!
 
Not Yella handle, but the Rough Rider RR1705 Copper Bolster "baby trapper" is 2.5 inches closed. Has copper bolsters and both blades are copper plated. Has grooved buffalo horn covers.
Bolsters are not pinched or lined, and do not have the ugly over-size "R" on the any bolster.
No shield to clutter things up, either.
Under $15 on the river site. "ONLY 5 LEFT IN STOCK" is claimed in the listing. May be true, may not be.
