The Cooper Cutlery Battle Axe Brand 1-Blade Trapper is a traditional folding knife built with purpose and pride, made entirely in the USA by skilled craftsmen in Winchester, Ohio. It’s a knife that reflects the heritage of American cutlery—simple, tough, and made to last.
This Trapper features a 3.3-inch clip point blade crafted from durable D2 tool steel. Known for its edge retention and toughness, D2 is a high-performance steel choice that’s right at home in a working knife. The blade has a high-polish finish that enhances both its corrosion resistance and timeless appearance. Opening is done the old-fashioned way with a dual-sided nail nick—no gimmicks, no springs, just a solid pull that’s easy to manage yet secure in hand. The blade operates on a traditional slip joint, giving you a satisfying snap into the open position without the need for a lock.
Closed, the knife measures 4.2 inches, making it pocket-friendly and well-balanced when open at 7.5 inches overall. What truly sets this knife apart is the handle. Made from stabilized Black Osage Orange wood, it offers a striking contrast of warm golden tones and rich, dark grain lines. Each piece is unique, and the wood is stabilized to resist shrinkage, warping, or cracking over time. The handle is accented by polished nickel silver bolsters, fluted and rounded for a smooth transition between metal and wood. A spear-style nickel silver shield is inlaid in the front scale, adding a refined touch to its rugged frame.
Brass liners and visible brass pins provide a warm, traditional look while reinforcing the structure of the knife. It’s built using vintage machinery originally used by Queen Cutlery, further rooting this tool in the lineage of great American pocketknives.
Whether you're a collector of fine slip joints or someone who needs a reliable knife that won’t back down from daily tasks, the Battle Axe 1-Blade Trapper delivers with authenticity and American grit. It’s a straightforward tool built for those who appreciate quality without compromise.
