The Case 00783 Trapper delivers traditional American craftsmanship with dual blades designed for versatile cutting tasks. This medium-sized folding knife combines a clip point blade for precision work with a spey blade for detailed cutting applications.
What Makes This Different
The Tru-Sharp stainless steel construction provides superior edge retention compared to standard carbon steel alternatives. Mirror polishing eliminates microscopic surface irregularities that can cause premature dulling, while the corn cob jigged Old Red Bone handle offers enhanced grip texture. Case's heat treatment process creates blades that maintain sharpness through extended use while resisting corrosion in humid conditions.

Field performance demonstrates the practical advantages of the dual-blade design.
