The Old Timer 1137140 Trail Boss delivers reliable cutting performance for hunters and outdoorsmen who need a dependable fixed blade knife. This caper knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials to handle field dressing, skinning, and general outdoor tasks with precision.
What Makes This Different
The Trail Boss features a full-tang construction with a 3.70-inch stainless steel blade that maintains its edge through extended use. Unlike folding knives that can fail under pressure, this fixed blade design eliminates mechanical failure points while providing superior leverage for detailed work. The plain edge configuration delivers clean cuts without the maintenance requirements of serrated alternatives.

Field performance centers on the blade's geometry, which balances cutting ability with control for intricate work.
