If the blades aren't rubbing the liners, and the blades snap tight into place, you've got a good user. Some collectors (like myself) can be far too particular. The yellow Trapper is made to use. Enjoy it man. Keep it sharp and shiny and the Patina will tell its story. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
100% agree. The trapper, peanut and stockman are, in my opinion, the most practical slipjoint knives to carry. I also love a barlow, copperhead and canoe. No slipjoint collection is complete without all of these great little knives. The trapper is my favorite however. Great channel. 🙂👍
Thank you for the mention! You make a great argument for the yellow delrin Case trapper, and I agree that it is a great knife. I hope to get another yellow trapper and a yellow peanut before long. I don't have a peanut, so that's high on my list. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
I agree! Before I knew anything about knives, all I heard was trappers, stockmans, peanuts, and sodbusters. It's over looked a bit but the peanut is one of Case's most recordable knives. I believe the trapper can be traced to the 20s where as the peanut to 1915. The stockman possibly one of Case's oldest patterns thought not known because pattern numbers were different back then. Great video! I'm really liking your content! Thanks much!
I have a couple of these, still in the wax paper and boxes. My son bought me one for Christmas a few years ago and I carried it daily, until I had some carpenters with teenage kids in my house and it went missing, sadly.
@NewAgainKnifeReviews yes it is, and it was a gift from my youngest son so it made it that much worse. I asked all of the carpenters about it but of course they all said that they hadn't seen it.
@@philipjanes I believe "Delrin" was the name brand of the material that Case used years ago. The name stuck though the formula of the material changed. Hence Delrin and synthetic, or Synthetic Delrin I guess.👍🏻🙂
I don't own any case but I do agree the trapper style is a great knife I own a Moore maker trapper and I just order a Queen mini trapper 1095 with the stag scales
@@WZ13 Case use to stamp an X on the blade each time they tempered it. They tempered them twice hence two X's. When people read the blade they read Case XX. So that's how they are now known. At least that's the story I heard.
@@kurts4867 With some knives. I carried this yellow Trapper for years before I even had a slip. It really depends on the knife, and what I have in my pocket. Do you usually use a slip?
@@kurts4867 yeah, a slip adds a lot of bulk to the pocket. The one area where I really like one is if I have a knife that I'm worried about getting scratched up.
Have you ever skinned an animal with it? No joke or attitude, Im seriously curious how well it can perform its namesake. I have a couple stockmens but no livestock for testing so I wonder if anyone has ever tried.
I'm not speaking for anyone but myself, but I would say use caution when using the trappers for skinning. They aren't lock blades so they will fold back on you. I love the trapper and that's my only negative with the knife. I use a small fixed blade for skinning.
That would have to be the nicest way I have heard that ol saying. I always heard it another way. Love Case knives. I like carbon steel. I have a red peanut. And copper lock. In Red. I like that yellow too. What Case knives are famous for.
Love my 54s
I have a yellow 3254 CV made in 2001 that has skinned many many wild hogs over the years. One of my favorites of all time. Great video!!
@@Hunter-mu7sp 👍🏻😁👍🏻
I have to agree with you on the yellow trapper.
@@gavintrousdale7585 they're really great knives
I love yellow delrin carbon steel knives. I will be buying a case mini trapper in yellow delrin and carbon steel, this year.
Cool. I bought this same model last week online, will have it by tomorrow. Its my first Case knife and I hope I get a good one.

It's a fantastic knife. I carry a CV Case trapper with stag covers but I have a yellow Delrin trapper as well.
@@pa1adin111 Nice 👍🏻
I appreciate the review of the classic Case Trapper slip joint pocket knife

Good video. I see some that say delrin, and some say synthetic scales. Are they the same?

Can't go wrong with a case trapper.
I like a smaller trapper because of the half stop and size but I have all three sizes lol
@@TommyDaleCooper 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I carry the same knife except mine is a MooreMaker.
@Papa-Anvil Cool, is your Moore maker made by Case, Queen or Bear and sons?
@ I have no idea,how can you tell?
@Papa-Anvil I'm not sure. I think it comes down to if it looks like a Case, queen or Bear and son. I don't know beyond that. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@@stevieweebee Case made some knives for Moore maker. So did Bear and son and Queen. Do you who made yours?
@@NewAgainKnifeReviews I believe bear and sons
@stevieweebee I believe the way to tell, is if the clip blade is a saber grind, then Bear made it. If it's a flat grind, then Case made it.
@@NewAgainKnifeReviews it's a case made one I just know it's a 5202 model year 2022
I think it's the best knife .not the prettiest but the best.
@@samrodriguez9864 "practical "is the key word 👍🏻
Hello Friend, what means tested xx on the Box from the knives? Greetings from Germany, Denis.
@@WZ13 Case use to stamp an X on the blade each time they tempered it. They tempered them twice hence two X's. When people read the blade they read Case XX.
So that's how they are now known.

@@NewAgainKnifeReviews Aaah, OK 👍. Thank you.
I too like the yellow delrin....
Do u use a slip 100% of the time ??
@@kurts4867 With some knives.
I carried this yellow Trapper for years before I even had a slip. It really depends on the knife, and what I have in my pocket.

I don’t use a slip. I’ve heard the rationale is to keep stuff out lint, etc., but I don’t find that to be a problem.
@@kurts4867 yeah, a slip adds a lot of bulk to the pocket.
