Timberline Folding Trapper Knife 8" Handmade Bone Handle Slipjoint EDC Pocket Knife

The Timberline Folding Trapper Knife continues a long tradition among folding pocket knives valued for their reliability. Trapper-style knives became popular for their two-blade setup, giving users different edge shapes for different everyday tasks. This practical design became a standard for hunters and everyday carry users alike. That same trusted style shapes every Slipjoint Pocket Knife we forge today.

Bone handles carry their own history in traditional pocket knife making, valued for natural texture that varies from piece to piece. Paired with genuine stainless steel blades, this combination reflects real handmade craftsmanship built for both durability and classic style.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:

1. Regular Cleaning
   Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish.
2. Dry Thoroughly
   After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture.
3. Proper Storage
   Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials.
4. Avoid Impact
   While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece.
5. Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
   Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity.
6. Routine Inspection
   Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.

By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
