Crafted with care and precision in the USA, the White River Trailhead Trapper Maple & Black Richlite is a refined take on the classic slip joint folder—tailored for those who appreciate tradition with a modern edge. Designed for reliable everyday carry, this knife brings together timeless materials and high-performance steel in a compact and comfortable package that’s built to go wherever your day takes you.
The 3.1-inch clip point blade is made from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium choice known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. With a sleek satin finish and a long pull opening, the blade strikes a perfect balance between elegance and utility. Whether you're slicing fruit on the trail or opening boxes at work, the Trailhead Trapper handles it all with ease and style.
The handle is where the knife really starts to show its character. A combination of warm, natural maple wood and durable black Richlite gives it a look that’s both rustic and sophisticated. The wood’s organic grain contrasts beautifully with the smooth, matte surface of the Richlite, offering a grip that feels great in hand while remaining lightweight and pocket-friendly. At just 2.5 ounces and 4.2 inches closed, this knife practically disappears in your pocket until it’s time to get to work.
Functionally, the slip joint design keeps things simple and dependable. There’s no lock to fumble with—just a firm, satisfying snap as the blade moves into position. It’s a nod to classic American pocket knives, yet made with modern precision and materials that can hold up to today’s demands. Whether you're heading out for a hike, working around the house, or dressing up for a night out, the Trailhead Trapper is a knife that fits in everywhere.
At 7.5 inches overall when open and with a blade thickness of 0.1 inches, it offers just the right amount of cutting power without feeling bulky or overbuilt. Every detail—from the fit and finish to the smooth action of the blade—shows off White River’s commitment to craftsmanship.
