Description

The case mexican turquoise trapper is a Wild Horse Custom exotic handcrafted by J. Kidd, signed and numbered #01 of only 25 made. Mexican Turquoise handles, engraved nickel silver bolsters and backsprings, and fileworked liners turn the classic Case XX Trapper into a true work of art.

Mexican Turquoise brings vivid blue and green tones laced with natural matrix, giving each handle a rich, earthy character that collectors of southwestern stone love. Polished to an amazing shine, the color comes alive under the light and pairs beautifully with the bright engraved nickel silver. Because every piece is cut from natural stone, the color and matrix vary from knife to knife, so no two in the run will ever look exactly alike.

J. Kidd, owner of Wild Horse Custom Knives, builds every knife start to finish by hand. The nickel silver bolsters and backsprings are engraved, and the liners are fileworked, details you notice the moment you open the blades and look inside. That attention to detail is why the case mexican turquoise trapper reads as a custom work of art rather than a catalog knife, and why his knives are so hard to come by.

The Trapper is one of the most recognized patterns in American cutlery. At 4 1/8 inches closed, it is a full-size knife that gives the turquoise a long, generous canvas while still riding comfortably in a pocket. Its two stainless steel blades cover more jobs than a single blade can, so the case mexican turquoise trapper is a fully functional knife as well as a showpiece.

Only 25 were made, and this is #01 of 25, the first of the run and a number collectors often look for. It arrives new in a high-end brown leather display box with a Certificate of Authenticity, ready to be displayed or gifted. For collectors of Wild Horse Custom exotics, turquoise, or Trappers, the case mexican turquoise trapper is a standout.

Once you hold one of these knives, you understand why so many buyers become lifetime collectors. The case mexican turquoise trapper is more than a high-quality pocket knife. It is a signed, numbered piece of handmade art, and first numbers like this one do not stay available for long.
