W.R. Case and Sons is best known for their traditional folders. At the 2018 BLADE show, they introduced a traditional style folder with assisted opening. Those were the KickStart Folding Hunters. The TrapperLock Folder is the second in that line. The Kickstart® mechanism is Case's version of a spring assist. Using the thumb stud, move the blade slightly toward the open position and the spring assist takes over to quickly power the blade into the open and locked position.
The 3-1/8" clip point blade is Case's Tru-Sharp Surgical Stainless steel at 55-57 Rc. with a mirror polish. The bolsters are nickel silver, the liners are brass. Fitted with a right hand single position tip-down pocket clip. Handle scales are Cob Jigged Old Red Bone. Measures 4-1/8" closed. Weighs about 3.4 oz. Made in the U.S.A.
Weighs 3.6 oz. Suggested Retail $171.80.

Case Knives
Finally, the W. R. Case Knife Company seems to be in good hands. The family that has guided the Zippo lighter company through so many successful years has begun to make a difference at their knife company. They have called back from retirement, skilled craftsmen who are teaching the current crop of cutlers. These new Case knives look more like those of the 1950's rather than those of the 1970's and 1980's.
