The Case Premier Edition Man In Black Corelon Trapper is a striking blend of traditional American knife design and limited-edition collectibility. Built on the trusted Trapper pattern that’s been a favorite of outdoorsmen and working hands for generations, this knife delivers reliable performance while offering distinctive visual appeal and a rare production run that collectors will appreciate. With only 500 pieces produced, this Premier Edition stands as a special addition to any Case lineup.
At the heart of the knife are two dependable 3.25" clip and a 3.27" spey Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades. This classic blade pairing has long been valued for its versatility in the field and around the shop. The clip point blade excels at detailed cutting, slicing, and precision work, while the spey blade provides a wider edge suited for skinning, utility tasks, and general cutting chores. Both blades feature the clean, reliable performance that Tru-Sharp surgical steel is known for, offering strong edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance.
Opening the blades is smooth and traditional thanks to the classic nail nick design. Paired with the proven slipjoint mechanism, this knife maintains the timeless operation that has made pocketknives like the Trapper dependable for over a century. The slipjoint construction provides firm backspring tension and smooth blade action without relying on modern locking systems, keeping the design simple, durable, and easy to maintain.
The clip point blade carries a distinctive etch reading “1 of 500 Man in Black,” marking the knife as part of a limited Premier Edition run. This detail adds a layer of exclusivity and makes the knife especially appealing to collectors who appreciate numbered or limited production Case pieces.
The handle is where this Trapper truly stands apart. Crafted from red, white, and black Corelon, the scales display a bold swirling pattern that gives each knife a unique character. Corelon is known for its vibrant color depth and durability, creating a handle that’s both visually striking and tough enough for everyday carry. The handle is framed by polished nickel silver bolsters and secured with durable pins, while a nickel silver circle shield inlay provides a traditional finishing touch that proudly reflects the Case heritage.
Measuring 4.13" closed, the Trapper pattern offers a comfortable balance of size and capability. It’s large enough to handle serious work but compact enough to ride easily in a pocket, pack, or display case. Whether carried daily or preserved as a collectible, this knife embodies the craftsmanship and tradition that have defined Case knives for generations.
Please note: the knife you receive may or may not have limited premiere edition blade etches as seen in the pictures displayed. We cannot guarantee that your knife will have these blade etchings.
