CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Imperial Schrade Abalone Small Trapper proves that good things come in compact, eye-catching packages. At just 2.87" closed, this small trapper is sized right for slip-in-the-pocket carry but still delivers everyday cutting performance thanks to its dual 2.25" 3Cr13MoV stainless steel blades. The clip point and spey blades both feature a satin finish, nail nicks for simple opening, and a proud Imperial Schrade etch on the master blade that pays tribute to its legacy.
The handle is a standout—crafted from synthetic celluloid abalone that shimmers with iridescent color, giving this small knife a bold personality well beyond its size. Nickel silver pins secure the scales, while polished stainless steel bolsters and an inlaid stainless shield provide structure and shine. This is a knife that looks like it belongs in a display case, but it’s built to be used. Whether it’s opening mail, slicing twine, or tackling light everyday tasks, the Abalone Small Trapper earns its keep while turning heads.
It’s a reliable pocket companion with a touch of elegance, perfect for collectors or anyone who appreciates a smaller blade with a big visual impact. Slipjoint simplicity, premium materials, and a traditional form factor come together in this vibrant pocket tool.
