The Case XX John Wayne Red Barnboard Jigged Bone Trapper is a remarkable tribute to an American legend, embodying the rugged spirit and classic style synonymous with John Wayne. Crafted with precision and care, this limited-edition trapper knife combines Case’s high-quality materials with unique design elements that honor the iconic Western star. The knife features two mirror-polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades—a clip point and a spey—both etched with John Wayne’s signature as a mark of authenticity and homage. These blades are not only exceptionally sharp and durable but also highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for everyday tasks or as a cherished collector’s piece.
The handle is crafted from red Barnboard jigged bone, giving it a distinctive, rustic appearance that reflects the rugged terrain and lifestyle that John Wayne often portrayed in his films. The rich, red-hued bone is finely jigged, adding texture and grip while enhancing the knife's aesthetic appeal. It’s also adorned with brass pins and liners, contributing to the knife’s durability and offering a striking contrast to the red bone handle. The nickel silver bolsters add a touch of elegance and durability, framing the handle beautifully and rounding out its robust design. Additionally, the handle is adorned with a Red River D shield—a fitting tribute to one of Wayne’s most iconic films, Red River—that adds a personal touch to the knife and speaks to his enduring legacy.

As a serialized limited edition, only 1,000 pieces of this model exist, making it a rare and valuable addition for Case knife collectors or fans of John Wayne.
