CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThis exclusive Case XX Magician’s Rattlesnake/Barbed Wire Antique Bone Trapper honors both the legacy of Smoky Mountain Knife Works and its founder, Kevin Pipes, who’s had a remarkable influence on the knife industry. For the first time, an entire family of Magician’s Knives has been crafted to showcase two of Kevin’s most celebrated handle designs: the ruggedly distinctive Rattlesnake and the iconic Barbed Wire, featured together on Case’s most sought-after patterns. Each knife in this exclusive series embodies the dedication to tradition and craftsmanship that’s made Case XX one of America’s most respected names in cutlery.
Inspired by the classic magician’s knives once carried by traveling knife salesmen, this trapper combines functionality with the allure of visual sleight of hand. With one quick flip, you can switch from the striking rattlesnake-patterned antique bone on one side to the barbed-wire embellished antique bone on the other, creating a truly unique and collectible piece. It’s a blend of tradition and style that celebrates Kevin Pipes’ influence and Case’s renowned quality.
The trapper’s clip point and spey blades are made from Case’s mirror-polished Tru-Sharp surgical steel, delivering an excellent edge and impressive corrosion resistance. Easy-to-use nail nicks allow for smooth deployment, while brass liners and nickel silver bolsters add a refined touch, giving this workhorse an unmistakable elegance. The 4.13” closed length makes it a perfect fit for pocket carry, yet striking enough for display.
Proudly made in the USA, this knife stands as a testament to Case XX’s commitment to quality and American craftsmanship—a fitting tribute to a man and a company that have shaped the knife world.
