The White River Trailhead Trapper Natural Burlap Micarta blends traditional trapper styling with modern materials in a refined everyday carry folder built for dependable performance and classic appeal. Designed in collaboration with Smith & Sons and proudly made in the USA, it reflects a strong commitment to craftsmanship, pairing heritage-inspired design with contemporary steel and durable construction for a knife that’s equally suited to daily use or a collector’s showcase.
Its 3.1-inch clip point blade is crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a proven premium steel known for excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Built for real-world utility, it maintains a sharp working edge through repeated use while standing up to the demands of outdoor and everyday cutting tasks. The satin finish delivers a clean, refined appearance while reducing friction during use and adding a subtle touch of elegance. A traditional long pull along the spine reinforces the classic trapper character while allowing smooth, controlled manual opening.
The handle is crafted from natural burlap Micarta, offering a warm, organic appearance paired with outstanding durability and grip performance. The textured surface provides a secure hold in wet or dry conditions, while the natural variations in the material ensure each knife carries its own unique character. Over time, the Micarta develops additional depth and patina, enhancing its rugged, lived-in appeal. At just 2.5 ounces, the knife remains exceptionally lightweight, while its 4.2-inch closed length and 7.5-inch overall size keep it highly pocketable. The .1-inch blade thickness maintains a slim, efficient profile that supports smooth, controlled cutting.
The Trailhead Trapper is built for versatility, handling everyday tasks with ease while maintaining a refined, traditional-inspired presence. It offers a balanced combination of portability, cutting performance, and aesthetic appeal that works equally well in the field or as part of a collection.
