Good to find this video on the Case Barehead Trapper single blade knife. Still has the blade length of the classic twin. The narrow design goes well for EDC. Most of us old guys have no issue with the classic Trapper twin blade knife. Maybe it is the lighting, the Barehead Trapper knife looks old, worn out from the unboxing. It is cool that case is offering something new. For the single blades from Case, I like the Sod Buster, Thumbs up and subscribed
Seems decent and I've been wanting a Trapper Solo for a long while now. I have quite a few Case knives both new and old and lately i've not be overly happy with their quality. I got 3 7/8" Medium Stockman that has the tree back springs instead of the two that most Stockman knives have. It's supposed to be to keep them from getting the blade rub scratches but this one failed miserably at that and the the Sheepsfoot blade was loose as could be. I sent it back for warranty and got it back but the springs are uneven and the front of the clip point blade bottoms out on the back spring and dolls it to the point you can see the flat spot on the edge. I've reprofiled it to try to match other Case Stockman knives I have and it will stop doing it as if the Kick is too short regardless. This stockman was from the Shepard Hills. Regardless, subbed and commented, great video! Hope it works well for you!
The dlt trapper also has a full hollow grind compared to the full flat of the base trapper. I have the wharncliff variant. It'sstill a case as far has the fit and finish but they are awesome users u will love the new one
To be honest that's a pretty big mistake on the knife that you pointed out and I would have sent it back to case to have them repair it. I've had such big problems with ordering case knives (craftsmanship) that I pretty much refuse to order them unseen anymore. There's nothing worse than ordering a >$80 in the mail from a big name company and it shows up looking all jacked up just to send it off and now it's gone for 6 weeks before it comes back again, hopefully fixed!
Just ordered mine with the Wharncliff. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, you wanted a variation of that knife with a lanyard hole, Case makes one, it's called the "Back Pocket".
I like the DLT. Thanks
