The Battle Axe Cutlery 2-Blade Trapper in Buffalo Horn is a striking blend of traditional form and hard-use American craftsmanship. Built in the USA and produced in an extremely limited run of just 1-of-25 pieces, this knife carries the kind of scarcity and character that makes it just as collectible as it is functional.
True to the classic trapper pattern, this folder features two full-length blades—a 3.30" clip point and a 3.30" spey—both crafted from D2 tool steel. Known for its high wear resistance and edge retention, D2 gives this knife the toughness needed for real-world cutting tasks while still being manageable for everyday carry and field use. The clip point offers precision and control for slicing and detail work, while the spey blade adds versatility for utility tasks, making this a well-balanced two-blade setup rooted in tradition.
The slip joint mechanism keeps the design faithful to its heritage, offering smooth, reliable opening and closing without the complexity of modern locking systems. It’s a straightforward, proven design that’s stood the test of time, and this execution keeps that legacy alive while elevating the materials and finish.
What really sets this piece apart is the handle. Crafted from genuine buffalo horn, each knife carries its own natural grain patterns, color variation, and character markings. No two handles are exactly alike, giving every piece a one-of-a-kind feel in the hand. The smooth contours and warm, organic texture of the horn pair perfectly with the polished, traditional profile of the trapper pattern.
With a closed length of 4.00" and an overall length of 7.25", this knife sits comfortably in hand and pocket alike. It’s compact enough for carry, yet substantial enough to feel dependable during use. The Battle Axe Brand, produced by Cooper Cutlery, continues its focus on American-made craftsmanship and small-batch production, and this piece reflects that commitment in every detail.
This is a strictly limited production run of just 1-of-25, featuring rich, naturally varied buffalo horn handles that give each piece a unique character, available at SMKW.
