Product Description
American-made Case knives have become icons of the EDC community. They’ve been in the hands of outdoorsmen and collectors since 1889, after all, and for good reason Read More
I saw this and dug out my Case Trapper. I don't know if it is different, but the blades on my knife are clearly hollow ground and still very sharp. My handle has a native bone color handle coverings and is still tight and beautiful in spite of the years of use. The pointed blade is etched with "tested xx razor edge". Since it is the larger Trapper, I always used a belt scabbard since I considered it a little large for pocket carry. IMHO, on very nice knife. When I worked in the mountains the preferred knife was two bladed. One was kept razor sharp and the other was ground less acute for the grunt jobs.
Appreciate the input. Yeah D2 is the "lowest" steel grade I'm willing to go for a pocketable blade. But since I'm a relative n00b didn't know how it compared to CSS here. I'll keep moving along as per your advice.
AbrasivewoodchuckI'll second this. I love traditional folders, but the G10 products that Case puts out are excellent modern takes on a classic designs.
I have a bunch of the Case knives like this, and they can be habit forming. I don't think I will use the spey blade as designed, but it is handy with the more blunt tip for other uses too.
Even though this is not a premium steel, for the overwhelming majority of users it fully sufficient. Small knives rarely needs uber super steels as they are used to cut things that are relatively soft, like paper, string, packaging, etc. A positive side effect of these common steels is their ease of sharpening. With care, you can get a great edge in a few minutes.
