Product Description
Most people who carry a pocket knife every day eventually arrive at the same conclusion — one exceptional blade is better than two mediocre ones. The Case Mini Trapper 47491 was built for that person. It carries a single 2.75-inch Wharncliffe blade in Tru-Sharp Surgical Stainless Steel, giving you a dedicated precision tool rather than a compromise. The Wharncliffe profile runs a straight cutting edge parallel to the spine with a precise, controlled tip — built for detail work, box cutting, food prep, and any task where tip accuracy and edge control matter more than belly. It is the blade shape that once you carry, you wonder how you got along without it. Paired with a Smooth Blue Curly Oak Wood handle, this is one of the most distinctive Mini Trappers Case has ever offered.
Blue Curly Oak is part of Case's new 2026 wood handle lineup and it is already turning heads. Curly Oak — sometimes called figured oak — develops its dramatic wavy grain from irregular fiber growth in the tree. No two pieces look alike. The blue dye is applied to pull out the figure in the grain, creating a handle that looks like it belongs on a custom knife rather than a production piece. Case uses only legally harvested, top-quality exotic hardwoods and the Blue Curly Oak is among the most visually impressive they have offered. The brass pins and liners running through the handle reinforce the wood construction for long-term durability.
At 3.5 inches closed this knife fits any pocket without demanding attention. The slip joint holds the blade open with a confident spring — traditional operation, no lock mechanism, legal to carry in more places than a locked folder. Nickel silver bolsters are highly polished and a brass Case Oval Script shield sits at center handle. Tang stamped and dated. Every Case since 1889. Knifeworks is an authorized W.R. Case and Sons dealer. Your purchase is backed by Case's limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty and ships fast.
