Yes when I got home I saw that. Havent bought it yet (waiting for my allowance lol) Amazon comeing in at a lil over20 % lower. But if ya factor in shipping. I am pretty sure with my discount at Hardware store it would be very close. We are in a very rural aera. This Ace Hardware is one of the main large stores. These folks are first class all the way and are awsom. Every employee every time you go in its world class service. We had Ace in other towns much larger than where in now. They always where good but not as great as this one. I like to spend my money where they really want to help and want your business .I have done that always when buying all my firearms all bought from local dealers. The runner up on the lil Case knife was the peanut model.

Amazon has free shipping for purchases over $35. They do collect sales taxes due. I'd ask the hardware store to come down quite a bit on their pricing if that is the same knife you are considering.

Good decision to go with Case, they make a nice knife. The made in China Schrades are, IMO, junk knives living off of their old reputation. It's a shame, as the old ones were decent knives.

The Case Mini Trapper is a good model, I've got a couple and like them. However, I prefer a blade that locks, and the Mini Copperlock is a great knife, got a few of them... You should check one out when you get a chance.

Good choice. Two long blades make sense on a tiny knife. The secondary blades on tiny knives are not good for much more than opening envelopes. I'll bet it turns out to be the knife you get out most often.

Most tiny Trappers have jigged and dyed cow bone side covers. That's probably what the blue one is. I do not understand what "pearl of white fishermen model" means. If that's genuine mother of pearl for the same price as bone jump on it before the store figures out their pricing error. If the surface was not smooth then it is a safe bet that it is not real pearl. I would prefer natural color or off white bone over blue, especially if it is bright blue.

There is one thing to be careful of. While you pull other stuff out of the same pocket it is easy to unknowing bring the tiny knife out between other items then not notice it slip to the floor.

Thanks K 22 fan yes this is a front pocket (weak side) that has keys in it and the Swiss Army for now. I have never had a issue with the swiss comeing out. But when I get the Case I will watch out. My strong side front main pocket has my E D C firearm in it.I have alot of pocket carry in rotation .My lockblade EDC rides in strong side rear pocket. So yes the case will get all the small chore duites. I have always been picky on what any of my knifes are used for. And even Wife gets questioned on what she wants my knife for. Thats only one that they are loaned

My grandson found a Case in a shopping center parking lot. I tried to trade him out of it for several years but never could. Christmas before last he handed me a little package and when I opened it there was a new US made Case exactly like his. Good Christmas.
Quite a few years ago I had a Remington and I lost it. A number of years ago I stumbled on a unopened Remington promotional pack that had two packs of Kleanbore LR and a Remington knife. I gave my grandson and great grandson most of my firearms, all of my reloading stuff and several knifes including that and a 50's vintage Kabar hunting knife when I moved.
