Case XX Trapper Knives

What Is a Case Trapper?

A traditional jack knife with two full-length blades — typically clip and spey — built for versatility. The full-size Case XX Trapper is about 4.125″ closed, giving you plenty of handle to work safely and comfortably. Collectors love the pattern because it arrives in constant limited runs, seasonal shields, and standout handle materials.

Sizes & Common Variants

• Full-size Trapper: ~4.125″ closed, clip + spey.
• Mini Trapper: ~3.5″ closed, pocket-friendly, same blade combo.
• Special runs: Wharncliffe or single-blade versions appear in limited editions.

Popular Handle Materials (Collector Favorites)

Jigged bone, smooth bone, and micarta, plus premium customs like mammoth fossil, abalone, and web turquoise. On our custom Case knives, a Certificate of Authenticity is included and signed by J. Kidd.

How It Compares

• Trapper vs Mini Trapper: same spirit; the Mini is lighter and shorter for dress pockets.
• Trapper vs Stockman: the Trapper runs 2 blades and a simpler profile; the Stockman adds a third blade and versatility but a busier frame.
• Trapper vs Texas Toothpick: the Toothpick is slimmer and more tapered; the Trapper fills the hand for harder use.
