Case WR XX Pocket Knife Pocket Worn Old Red Bone Trapper Item #783 - (6254 SS) - Length Closed: 4 1/8 Inches

The short review : Out of nearly six hundred knives in my collection , all of them users that I carry at one time or another , some of them ~ $600 each , the Case brand Trapper fits my hand the best and every time I pick one up and use it it is like coming home . Not super steel in the blade but one of the very best , most practical , knife styles ever made ! Buy it ! The long review with all the whys and wherefores : Just when I have finally , after years of optimism , resigned myself to a level of attention to detail by Case that is less than it could be . . . This latest Case Trapper is freekin' perfect ! The blue dye in the jigged bone scales is just exactly what I want ! Nice and dark with just the right amount of black / super dark blue in the middle and only the most subtle hints at the edges showing the original white bone . (I have another exact same model and color that I bought seven years ago that is just too lightly dyed with too much white bone ). And the Blades ! Not in over a decade have I received a Case Trapper with blades sharpened this well . Even sharpness all along the edges ; no bur rolling or dings . . . and ! And ! . . . the points of the blades are sharp (not dull and rounded over as was the old de rigueur ). Edge sharpness from the factory has never been a big deal to me ; I put my own more extreme edge on any knife I buy in the first days of ownership anyway but it is knice to see Case getting on top of this chronic problem , for the general public . Learn to sharpen in any case is my advice . The grinding / polishing of the scales and bolsters and coloring are nicely even and symmetrical ! ! ! I've died and gone to heaven here ! You may think me over effusive but you haven't seen the horrors that I have seen . I am ecstatically happy with my most recent Case purchase ! ! ! May yours be as well done ! PS : that is about fifteen years of consistent, yearly , Case knife purchasing , using and collecting . Over a hundred and some in the collection . Over thirty of this Case Trapper frame style alone .

The Case Blue Bone Trapper Pocket Knife is an absolute gem! From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The blue bone handle has a beautiful, deep color with subtle variations that make each knife unique. It feels solid and comfortable in hand, making it a joy to carry around daily. The stainless steel blades are razor-sharp right out of the box, and they hold an edge impressively well. Whether you're using it for everyday tasks like opening packages or more demanding jobs like cutting rope, this knife performs effortlessly. The smooth opening and closing of the blades are also a testament to Case’s commitment to quality. The Trapper design is a classic, and the two-blade setup offers versatility for a variety of cutting needs. Plus, it’s compact and lightweight enough to fit in your pocket, making it an excellent choice for everyday carry (EDC). As a collector, I also appreciate that this knife has the Case logo stamped on it, which adds to its value. It's a knife that looks great and feels great to use. If you're looking for a high-quality pocket knife that combines traditional charm with modern performance, the Case Blue Bone Trapper is an excellent choice. You can’t go wrong with Case’s legendary craftsmanship. Highly recommended!

Carry it all the time, use it multiple times per day.

Nice! Good price!

The color of this knife is gorgeous. The picture doesn’t do it justice. Very vibrant turquoise blue. Knife is well made and just the right size. The blades are easy to open and close. Great knife and good price

Great addition to my collection and color is better than I thought it'd be

Beautiful. I had to get a Navy one to add to the collection. Side note (and please note): I'm not a Case salesman but I am sold on this brand. I just find it very rare to get more than your money's worth on a product these days. About a month before buying one I was looking for a knife that had more of that classic American appeal. You know, something timeless that your father or your grandfather would have carried around in his pocket. Case knives are just that. They are an instant collectible as each ones unique (hand made). If your like me and you've played the field with CRKT, SOG, and other folders but just want something new in your life Case is the one. Everything is flush, everything is quality. If you are worried about the absence of a liner-lock please note that Case does make models with liner locks.....or button locks for that matter. But make no mistake there is a audible click / pop when the blade is opened and contacts the end spring. I don't worry about it anymore like I did before I tried one. Actually, I found a Stockman model made in 1980 and a Peanut model made in '95 the other day and it functions just as good as their 2015 counterparts. If you're curious about one of these but are thinking more economical like Buck or Uncle Mike please do yourself a favor and don't bother. Not that they're terrible or anything but they don't have anywhere near the build quality or quality of materials invested in them as does a Case knife. Most often than not those other companies utilize cheaper materials and inferior metals and don't have near the tolerances that a Case does. Buy it once.

So conflicted.. This is such a ridiculously beautiful knife. The covers on mine, I would say, are above average so I definitely got lucky. But at the same time, there is some serious gapping going on. I don't generally complain about gaps; all the knives in my collection are users. But this was a lot. There was also a lot of left/right blade play. It would have gone back except I figured I would not get as nice of covers. So I clamped the head bolster up, which closed up the gapping a enough to make it tolerable and fixed the blade wobble. This, of course, meant sanding down the pin, which you can see in the pic. A visible pin doesn't bother me too much on Case knives because ALL of them will show the pin after a few months no matter what. Of course, there was a burr to remove, what else is new with Case. So I would give it a three for the problems I had to fix, but I got really lucky with the covers, so I give it 4 stars.
