SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Old Forge Trapper is a classic two-blade pocket knife built for durability, versatility, and timeless appeal. A trusted pattern among outdoorsmen, ranch hands, and everyday knife users, the Trapper has earned its reputation as a reliable workhorse for a wide range of cutting tasks. Its simple yet effective design ensures you have the right blade for the job, whether you’re in the field, around the house, or working in the shop.
Crafted with surgical stainless steel, the blades provide excellent corrosion resistance, edge retention, and dependable cutting performance. The Trapper’s traditional configuration includes a clip point blade for precision slicing, detail work, and everyday utility, and a spey blade for controlled, sweeping cuts that excel in skinning or clean slicing tasks. Both blades feature plain edges for smooth, accurate cutting and open easily with classic nail nick pulls.
The handle is made from rugged synthetic Delrin, molded in the traditional Winterbottom pattern for both grip and style. This textured surface offers a secure hold even in wet conditions, while the material itself is highly resistant to cracking, chipping, and environmental wear. The pattern’s vintage character blends beautifully with the polished bolsters, giving the knife a look that’s as timeless as its performance.
The slip joint mechanism ensures reliable blade positioning without a locking system, keeping the knife lightweight, easy to maintain, and compliant with traditional knife laws in many areas. Solid pin construction, precise blade alignment, and smooth action are hallmarks of the Old Forge craftsmanship, making this Trapper both dependable in the hand and appealing in the pocket.
Sized for comfortable carry but capable of handling serious cutting, the Old Forge Trapper is the kind of knife you’ll reach for time and time again. It’s as suited to working outdoors as it is to opening packages or preparing food, and its blend of classic styling and modern durability makes it a knife worth keeping for years.
