Case XX SMKW Exclusive Antique Bone/Barbed Wire Magician's Mini Trapper Folding Knife

This exclusive series from Smoky Mountain Knife Works pays tribute to Kevin Pipes, the founder whose influence on the knife world has been profound. In a first-ever collection, SMKW brings you a lineup of Case XX Magician's Knives that showcase two of Kevin's most iconic handle designs—Rattlesnake and Barbed Wire—set against some of Case's most celebrated knife patterns.

The Case XX Magician's Rattlesnake/Barbed Wire Antique Bone Mini Trapper exemplifies classic craftsmanship with a touch of innovative design. Drawing inspiration from traditional magician's knives once used by traveling salesmen, this knife combines two distinct handle styles to bring a unique visual charm. With rattlesnake-patterned antique bone on one side and barbed-wire embellished antique bone on the other, this Mini Trapper presents a captivating blend of textures and colors, echoing the charm and ingenuity of vintage color-changing knives.

Built for utility as much as style, this Mini Trapper features two mirror-polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel blades—a clip point and a spey—that excel in both durability and cutting performance. Nail nicks on each blade make deployment smooth, and the blades are as practical as they are visually striking. At 3.5 inches closed and weighing just 2.7 ounces, it’s compact enough for comfortable everyday carry yet powerful enough to handle a range of tasks.

Complete with brass liners and nickel silver bolsters, the knife boasts a structure that is as durable as it is handsome. Proudly crafted in the USA, this Case XX Magician’s Mini Trapper stands as a testament to the quality and tradition that have made Case XX a staple in American cutlery.
