Several times a year W. R. Case and Sons® will release what they call a seasonal introduction, usually these are knives that do not go into their main lineup but have a limited life. These smooth red synthetic folders were introduced with the Fall 2024 releases. The knives in this family all have smooth red synthetic handle scales with a bright white oval Case shield with the long tail Case logo that really stands out. Brass liners and nickel silver bolsters and pins. The blades are mirror polished Tru-Sharp™ surgical stainless at 54-57 Rc. Made in the U.S.A.
The American Trapper, no matter where it is made, is a classic. Two blades from the same end, a clip and a long spey, define this pattern. Both bolsters and caps are nickel silver. The Trapper has been the number two pattern with hunters, cattle workers and collectors for many years.
The two blades are a 2-3/4" clip point and a 2-3/4" spey blade. Measures 3-1/2" closed. It is a slip joint. Weighs 2.5 oz. Suggested retail is $80.90.

Case Knives
W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is an American manufacturer of traditional pocket knives, limited edition commemoratives and collectibles. It makes American made traditional pocket knives in a variety of patterns, blade styles, and handle materials. They are particularly well known for their specialized dying process - creating beautiful and colorful bone handles. Case prefers to use their proprietary Tru-Sharp stainless steel. Tru-Sharp sharpens and polishes easily and is enjoyed by collectors all over.
The roots of the company span all the way back to 1889. W.,R. Case & Sons notably made knives in World War 1, notably the M3 Fighting Knife for servicemen and the V-42 stiletto for the Devil’s Brigade. They also made knives for NASA astronauts for when they touched back down on earth and were waiting to be picked up. The Case Company is currently owned by the Zippo Manufacturing Company, based in the same city, which is well known for their Zippo lighters. You can see great synergy between the companies as they share equipment and expertise like inlaid dyed bone handles and laser engraving machinery.
