Technical Specifications

Premium Elmax Steel

The 924 Mini Trapper features Elmax steel, a premium Swedish powder metallurgy stainless steel that's highly regarded among knife enthusiasts and professionals. Heat-treated to HRC 61 hardness, Elmax offers an exceptional combination of properties:

• Outstanding Edge Retention: Holds a sharp edge significantly longer than conventional steels
• Excellent Toughness: Resists chipping and damage despite its high hardness
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to rust and staining in outdoor conditions
• Wear Resistance: Maintains performance through extended use
• Fine Grain Structure: Allows for extremely sharp edges and excellent cutting performance

This makes the Mini Trapper extremely resistant and suitable for all outdoor uses, from general camp tasks to the detailed work of gutting small game.

Thoughtful Blade Design

The 65mm blade length is perfectly sized for a compact outdoor knife - long enough for effective cutting yet short enough for comfortable pocket carry. The 4mm blade thickness provides excellent strength and durability without adding unnecessary weight. The standout feature is the groove on the back of the blade, which acts as a thumb rest and grip. This allows you to place your thumb on the spine for enhanced control during precise cutting tasks, making the knife safer and more accurate to use.

Beautiful Stag Horn Scales

The handle features natural stag horn (deer horn) scales that make each Mini Trapper unique. Stag horn is prized for its natural beauty, with distinctive textures and warm tones that vary from piece to piece. Beyond aesthetics, stag horn provides excellent grip characteristics - it's comfortable in hand, provides secure grip even when damp, and develops a beautiful patina with use. The scales are securely attached to the monobloc structure using stainless steel screws, ensuring durability while allowing for maintenance if needed.

Monobloc Construction

The Mini Trapper features monobloc (full-tang) construction, where the blade steel extends through the entire length of the handle. This design provides maximum strength and durability, ensuring the knife can handle demanding outdoor tasks without risk of handle failure. The full-tang construction also contributes to the knife's excellent balance despite its compact size.

Leather Sheath Options

The Mini Trapper comes with your choice of two different leather sheath styles:

Leather Sheath with Button

The classic leather sheath with button closure provides traditional styling and secure knife retention. The button closure is simple, reliable, and easy to operate even with cold or gloved hands.

Leather Sheath with Snap Button and Safety Strip

The enhanced leather sheath features both a snap button and an additional safety strip for maximum security. This option provides extra peace of mind that your knife will stay securely in the sheath during active outdoor pursuits.

Pocket-Portable Outdoor Companion

At just 76 grams and 120mm overall length, the Mini Trapper is designed for comfortable pocket carry. Unlike larger fixed blade knives that require belt carry, the Mini Trapper slips easily into a pocket with its leather sheath, making it incredibly convenient for hiking, camping, hunting, and everyday outdoor activities. Despite its compact size, the Elmax steel blade and robust construction ensure it performs like a much larger knife.

Versatile Outdoor Performance

The Mini Trapper excels at a wide range of outdoor tasks. The sharp Elmax blade handles camp chores, food preparation, cordage cutting, and detailed carving with ease. For hunters, the knife is particularly well-suited for gutting small game - the compact size provides excellent control, while the premium steel maintains its edge through the task. The thumb groove on the spine enhances safety and precision during detailed field dressing work.
