CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX Trapper “The Rut” is a limited-edition pocket knife built for hunters, collectors, and anyone who respects American craftsmanship. Only 500 of these were made, each proudly crafted in the USA by one of the most trusted names in cutlery. This rugged Trapper pattern features two mirror-polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades—a clip point and a spey—both equipped with long pulls and slip joint mechanisms that deliver the performance and reliability Case is known for. The bolsters are polished nickel silver, and the liners are brass, offering a timeless contrast to the vibrant handle.
What really sets this knife apart is the rich Persimmon Orange Bone handle. Deeply jigged for added texture and grip, the color captures the heart of the fall woods—the season of the rut—when whitetails move, and hunters follow. The handle is finished with a striking “The Rut” oval shield and each knife is individually serialized on the bolster, underscoring its rarity. At 4.13 inches closed, this Trapper balances size and pocketability, making it a dependable companion whether you're in the tree stand, the shop, or just out for the day.
