Who still carries a Case Knife?

[5K Qs]

Does anyone on this thread carry a trapper often?

I almost never carry a full-sized clip/spey trapper; I've decided they're too big for me to comfortably carry in my pocket.

I use a slimline trapper quite frequently, but usually in the kitchen where I keep the knife on the kitchen counter. The slimline trapper is much easier for me to pocket carry than a full-sized trapper, but in my current knife rotation weekly schedule, the slimline's "turn" only comes up once every 21 weeks.


A Case mini trapper is my favorite trapper pattern, size-wise, and I like it in a variety of blade combos. I have a chestnut jigged bone CV with normal clip/spey combo, I have a single-blade Wharncliffe model (thanks, John), and I have an amber jigged bone model with a "big" clip and a smaller spey that is a by-product of @black mamba's Beerbelly shown in an earlier post (thanks, Jeff). The amber bone mini trapper originally had a cap lifter that was switched with the spey blade on that sowbelly stockman that became the amazing Beerbelly!

5K Qs Slimline Trapper is as you point out, a great food knife but it's a fine carry as it aint heavy either. There's an appealing utility about them too

Thanks, Will

I'm always fighting the urge to start a Peanut collection. A handy little knife that can double for a worry stone.

Carry this every day that I go to work.

I often carry a Case Swayback Gent in navy blue bone. I just love the looks of that knife! I also often carry a Case Camper from the 1970s that is actually made by Camillus.

My wife found the blue Russlock. The Mini Trapper was a gift and I have had the Canoe since 1996.

Took several years to get one of these in my pocket but it wont leave it anytime soon. I only wish Case would put out more knives this quality level, these sparse collab releases are just fantastic knives. Regular Case production doesn’t appeal to me newrly as much as most GEC runs, but I don’t think Im alone in my desire for of this level/type of more regularly from another company. Out of my 70 or so knives I only have about a dozen case, and only two of those are the Bose collabs but they are without question some of my favorite and always in constant, heavy rotation.

Very nice. Just wish they weren't 5 times the cost of regular production runs.
