The Case Trapper (why has it been around so long and why is it so popular?)

[@toroverde65]

Finally! a video from a man that really appreciates the trapper! This pattern has been around for over 100 years, it’s a very practical design that can be used for so many tasks.

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@toroverde65 it's so good 👍🏻 that's all we can say 👍🏻

[@toroverde65]

@@NewAgainKnifeReviews btw, beautiful round upyou got there

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@toroverde65 thanks man 👍🏻

My favorite knife pattern is the sod buster. I carry a trapper daily as well due to the fact that farm chores take more than one knife. My favorite blade on the trapper is the spay as well

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@jasonbeecher509 I'm glad we have so many spay blade advocates speaking up. We'll have to do some videos on the spay blade👍🏻

[@jasonbeecher509]

@NewAgainKnifeReviews make cutlery great again, made a single blade trapper spay only

[@swkohnle08]

My two favorites from Case are the Trapper and the Medium Stockman. I tend to carry both in leather slips.

The good old trapper was my first knife….I went to the flea market with by grandma I was seven years old visiting for the summer in clay county Alabama…I had five dollars with me and talked her into letting me buy one ….She was scared I would cut myself….When we were heading home I proceeded to cut myself pretty good and lost access to the knife for the remainder of the summer….Great video Sir.

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@theprestriedge4657 great story. Why are they always right when they say "you'll cut yourself"? That's what liquid band-aid is for. I've had some on my finger for a few days. My only complaint is that the buffing compound keeps getting stuck in it.

[@michaelgentile6418]

I agree case makes the best trapper, I own a few of them, it's a great pattern and very useful

[@stevieweebee]

Here in texas the trapper is a popular pocket knife,i carry my moore maker trapper in the pocket and use the spade blade for food prep and cutting up steaks,but know i got a queen mini trapper so far im liking it.

Great video! Had about 10 or so case knives a few years ago and sold them off. Been getting back into the hobby and have told myself this year I'm focusing on case knives again. Mostly Trappers a few razors and large stockmans. Your thoughts on why the trapper is so popular seem spot on! I love the trapper because it's a sleek two bladed knife. And feels great in hand with just enough blade to get the job done. Look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@TheArtOfRuse Thanks for watching and commenting👍🏻 👍🏻

[@Knifesandmore]

Great video as usual. I like trappers a lot. You do a good job of hitting all the reasons that I’m thinking in my head. Good work👍

[@Lunarpreparedness]

Great video, man. Lots of really good perspectives on the Trapper. I always like watching videos of guys explaining how they carry their Trappers and what they use each blade for. I guess like most guys, the Trapper is one of my favorite patterns. Its a toss up between a trapper and stockman.

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@Lunarpreparedness I agree. I love the stockman also

[@Lunarpreparedness]

@ I bought a 032 pattern stockman after watching one of your videos maybe 3-4 weeks ago. I was thinking about getting one and your video was the straw the broke the camels back. It’s hasn’t left my pocket since I got it. I love all sizes of Stockmans but the pen blade on the 032 seals the deal for me.

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@Lunarpreparedness which handle is you 032?

[@Lunarpreparedness]

@ cayenne orange bone and has the double XX embellished bolsters. Stainless blades. Cherry Cutlery still has a couple.

[@madtownangler]

I like the spikey clip point for cleaning fish like using it as a filet knife

[@Coopersboy7]

I’m a trapper man, my dad always was and that’s why I always wanted one. If I could change one thing about the knife, is that I wish the Spey blade was as wide as the clip point. That’s just me. Maybe make the belly wider too like on the mini trapper but scaled up.

[@Csauls3378]

Like your content my man....I officially strarted collecting case about a week ago. I, also am a trapper guy!

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@Csauls3378 Case is by far my favorite knife manufacturer. You'll find some on KZbin who practice knife "snobbery". The goal of a handmade "slipjoint" is usability, rather than "perfection". My goal is to show well made, good usable knives that can be used and enjoyed and don't cost a fortune. Glad to have you watching man. Feel free to comment all you want to 👍🏻👍🏻

[@notcreative1980]

I remember the moment that I realized that the “reverse tanto” on my 940 was really just a spay blade like my trappers and stockman knives…

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@notcreative1980 Yeah, I've noticed that👍🏻👍🏻

[@brotherearlcassidy2355]

Agree 100%, great video! A felling axe, saw, fixed blade and a trapper will get you buy for life.......possibly throw in a hatchet

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@brotherearlcassidy2355 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@madtownangler]

I only have one trapper, the slim-line that has blade only and the blade is skinner(skimmer). It just happened to be the one that they had at the time and I had a gift certificate for Cabela's. Otherwise I would have ended up with the two bladed trapper instead. Of all the knives that I have it sharpens up the best. It's the only Case I have that isn't stainless steel

[@samrodriguez9864]

I actually love the spay blade

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@samrodriguez9864 Yeah I do also. Maybe we'll do a spey blade experiment on the channel one day.

[@alexishatjialexiou7509]

What a great in depth review of this iconic pattern! I appreciate the legacy and history of this pattern and agree with all your points about it. I personally choose not to carry this pattern due to its size and absence of a smaller blade. I enjoy these pattern reference videos and your take on them! 🙂👍🏻

[@Brett235]

I love the trapper. My boss gets me one every year for Christmas, and the company name and date are lazer etched on the blade. Needless to say I don't carry those. They're in the boxes in my knife drawer. If you don't mind me asking, what part of the country are you from? You have an interesting way of speaking.

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@Brett235 I'm from the south. Why I sound like I do, I have no idea, everybody says "where is your accent from" I always say "I don't know". 👍🏻

[@Brett235]

@NewAgainKnifeReviews good enough. I'm from Texas. Your voice sounds a little Irish with maybe some old southern tones, either way it's very calming. So many of these KZbinrs think that they have to raise their voices to get their point across.

[@NewAgainKnifeReviews]

@@Brett235 I'm a preacher so I know how to talk loud. But I feel no need to yell all the time.😂👍🏻👊🏻🙂 Thanks man 👍🏻

[@Brett235]

@NewAgainKnifeReviews well thank you for serving the Lord and your community.
