CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hen & Rooster 2 Blade Mini Trapper with a Michael Prater Sugilite handle is a compact folding knife that delivers custom appeal and field-ready function in equal measure. At just 3.5 inches closed, it slips easily into the pocket but carries the presence and craftsmanship of a much larger piece. This is a knife made for the user who appreciates refined materials without sacrificing utility.
The dual blades—clip and spey—are both forged from genuine Damascus steel, giving them a striking, layered grain pattern that reflects the care and detail poured into the forging process. Tough, durable, and razor sharp, these blades are up to everyday tasks and then some. Traditional nail nicks make for smooth manual opening, staying true to the roots of classic pocketknives.
The handle is where the artistry of this knife really shines. Designed by renowned custom maker Michael Prater, the Sugilite handle is crafted from a vibrant purple stone composite with natural patterning and depth. Its bold color is balanced with smooth nickel silver bolsters that add both strength and contrast. An antique brass Hen & Rooster shield is set neatly into the scale, offering a timeworn detail that ties the whole piece together.
This is more than just a compact trapper—it’s a blend of old-world tradition and custom flair. The slipjoint mechanism is reliable and time-tested, and every detail from blade to shield speaks to Hen & Rooster’s commitment to quality. Whether you’re adding to a collection or carrying it daily, this knife brings a rare combination of durability and design to the table. Order yours today from SMKW!
