CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt with tradition and sentiment in mind, the Case Papaw Natural Bone Trapper is a hardworking knife with a heartfelt touch. It features two mirror polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades—a clip point and a spey—both equipped with nail nicks for classic, dependable deployment. Whether it's headed for daily use or tucked away as a keepsake, these blades are built to hold a sharp edge and resist corrosion, true to the Case legacy of performance steel.
The handles are smooth natural bone, warm and earthy in tone, with "Papaw" engraved on the front side in a clean script that adds a personal, generational charm. Nickel silver bolsters frame the handle, while brass pins and liners hold the build tight and true. A nickel silver oval script shield rounds out the look with a nod to Case’s signature styling. At 4.13" closed and weighing 4oz, this trapper fits right at home in a pocket, tool chest, or display case.
This knife isn’t just about cutting—it’s about connection. The Papaw Trapper is a thoughtful gift for the grandfather who taught you how to whittle, clean a fish, or live with grit and gratitude. Proudly made in the USA, it represents the kind of craftsmanship you don’t come across every day.
