The Case XX 55231 Pocket Worn Mahogany Bone Mini Trapper delivers classic American craftsmanship in a compact everyday carry format. This traditional folding knife features genuine mahogany bone handle scales with Case's distinctive pocket worn finish that provides an aged, broken-in appearance straight from the factory.
What Makes This Different
The pocket worn finish sets this mini trapper apart from standard bone-handled knives by eliminating the break-in period typically required for comfortable carry. Case achieves this weathered look through specialized tumbling processes that smooth edges and create natural wear patterns. The mahogany bone scales offer superior grip texture compared to smooth synthetic handles while maintaining the classic aesthetic collectors demand.
