The Schrade Imperial Cracked Ice Trapper has stainless clip and spey blades in a cracked ice celluloid handle with nickel silver bolsters and an inlay shield, closing to 3.88 inches.
Cracked ice is a celluloid pattern from the early 1900s, made by fracturing the material during manufacture so light catches on the internal breaks. It looks like frost on glass and no two panels come out the same. Celluloid was the first commercial plastic, and it is what let American pocketknives look expensive without being expensive.
The clip blade takes general cutting while the spey’s flat edge and rounded tip handle skinning and scraping without a point to puncture. Each blade opens on a nail nick over a slip joint, with no lock to release. Explore more Trapper Knives.
