Case carbon steel is particularly appreciated for its edge performance and ease of sharpening, but it does require a little more care than stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith use, the blades can naturally develop a patina. Keeping them clean and dry and applying a light coat of oil helps protect the steel when you'd rather preserve that bright polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 2.7 ounces, it's a very traditional two-blade pocket knife in an easy-to-carry size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA, from domestic and imported materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDark red jigged bone and carbon steel.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes you really don't need to reinvent the pocket knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one has all the old-school Case ingredients we want: Peach Seed jigging, rich red bone, two useful blades, and carbon steel that's allowed to change and develop character as the knife gets carried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd putting all of that into the smaller Mini Trapper frame makes it much easier to justify slipping into a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot that we're generally known for requiring much justification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarbon Steel Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike stainless steel, \u003cstrong\u003eCase carbon steel can oxidize and develop a natural patina with use\u003c\/strong\u003e.
