The White River Trailhead Trapper Carbon Fiber & Burlwood brings together traditional trapper styling and modern materials in a refined everyday carry folder built for dependable performance and standout aesthetics. Designed in collaboration with Smith & Sons and proudly made in the USA, it reflects a blend of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary engineering, delivering a pocket knife that feels equally at home in daily use or a collector’s rotation.
Its 3.1-inch clip point blade is crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium performance steel valued for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Built for real-world cutting tasks, it maintains sharpness through repeated use while resisting wear in challenging environments. The satin finish adds a clean, understated elegance while helping the blade glide efficiently through material. A traditional long pull provides a classic aesthetic touch while allowing smooth, controlled manual opening consistent with the trapper pattern.
The handle combines black burlwood with carbon fiber, creating a striking contrast between natural grain and modern composite strength. Each piece carries unique visual character thanks to the organic burlwood patterns, while carbon fiber adds rigidity and contemporary appeal. The result is a handle that feels both traditional and modern, with a secure, comfortable grip that supports confident use. At just 2.5 ounces, the knife carries effortlessly, while its 4.2-inch closed length and 7.5-inch overall size keep it practical for everyday pocket carry. The .1-inch blade thickness maintains a slim, efficient profile without sacrificing cutting capability.
Designed for versatility, the Trailhead Trapper is built to handle everyday tasks with ease while maintaining a refined presence. It transitions smoothly between utility use and display-worthy craftsmanship, appealing to both users and collectors who appreciate thoughtful design.
