In the early 1970s, Kevin Pipes and John Parker started selling pocket knives from the back of a pickup truck, laying the foundation for what would become Smoky Mountain Knife Works. That humble beginning grew into a Tennessee institution, and Case XX honors that legacy with the SMKW Christmas Express Pick Up Trapper, a limited-edition traditional folder that blends American craftsmanship with a nostalgic holiday theme.
The knife features mirror polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades, built for reliable performance, strong edge retention, and easy maintenance. Both blades open smoothly with classic nail nicks, staying true to the traditional slipjoint design that defines Case pocketknives. Whether used for light daily tasks or kept as part of a collection, the blades deliver trusted function in a timeless format.
The handles are crafted from natural bone, carefully finished and richly detailed with a snowy SMKW Christmas Express scenic embellishment. Brass pins and liners provide strength and long-term durability, while nickel silver bolsters add a refined traditional accent. The Case shield is inlaid in nickel silver, reinforcing the knife’s authentic heritage and collectible appeal.
At 4.13 inches closed and weighing 4 ounces, this trapper offers a solid, comfortable feel in hand while still carrying easily in a pocket. Its balanced size and traditional profile make it both practical for occasional use and highly desirable for collectors who appreciate limited-run Case releases. Each knife includes a collector’s display box, adding presentation value right out of the package. Proudly made in the USA and available exclusively through Smoky Mountain Knife Works, it reflects both craftsmanship and history in one distinctive piece.
Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s best online knife store, is also a true Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store. Set in the Great Smoky Mountains, its legendary showroom draws more than 1.5 million visitors each year who come to experience an unmatched selection of knives, gear, and exclusive releases found nowhere else.
