CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Case XX SMKW Exclusive Sea Dragon Wharncliffe Trapper combines timeless Case design with a vivid new look that stands apart from the crowd. Proudly made in the USA, this knife represents the spirit of American craftsmanship, brought to life with bold color and precision detail. Built exclusively for Smoky Mountain Knife Works, it’s a standout in the Sea Dragon series—known for its striking materials and trusted Case performance.
This Trapper features a reliable slipjoint construction housing two distinct blades: a traditional clip point for everyday slicing and a Wharncliffe blade for precision cuts and controlled utility work. Both blades are crafted from TruSharp Surgical Steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. Classic nail nick openings make blade deployment simple and familiar.
The real highlight, though, is the Sea Dragon handle—a striking blend of deep-sea blues and greens captured in jigged bone. Reminiscent of ocean depths and shifting tides, this handle brings a bold personality to a beloved Case pattern. Nickel silver bolsters and pins add contrast and shine, elevating the design with subtle refinement that doesn’t sacrifice toughness.
At 4.125" inches closed, the Wharncliffe Trapper rides easily in your pocket while offering plenty of cutting edge when it’s needed. It’s the perfect choice for collectors and users alike—those who appreciate a blend of tradition and creativity, form and function.
The Case Sea Dragon Wharncliffe Trapper is more than just a knife—it’s a tribute to American knife making, presented through a vivid, sea-inspired lens. Whether you’re adding to a collection or looking for a daily carry with style, this exclusive release delivers quality, utility, and head-turning design.
The Case XX SMKW Exclusive Sea Dragon Wharncliffe Trapper is available only at Smoky Mountain Knife Works and won’t be found anywhere else, making it a unique addition to any lineup.
