Case XX Limited XX Edition Trapper, Item No. 17070, factory pattern 6254 SS, featuring genuine Orange Peel Jigged Bone handles, two highly polished stainless-steel blades, traditional Case shield, polished bolsters and its original matching blue Limited XX Edition – 1 of 3000 factory box dated 04/06/2005.

CASE XXLIMITED XX EDITION1 OF 3000
designation.
This is a documented limited-production Case collectible from a total production run of 3,000 pieces.
Factory Identification
The original Case factory box label identifies:
Item No.: 17070
Pattern: 6254 SS
Model: TRAPPER
Handle: ORG PEEL
Material: BN — Bone
Factory Box Date: 04/06/05
This allows the knife to be confidently identified as a 2005 Case XX Orange Peel Bone Limited XX Edition Trapper.
Orange Peel Jigged Bone
The handle is unquestionably the visual centerpiece of Knife #178.
The genuine bone scales display dramatic shades of:
Bright orange
Golden orange
Amber
Yellow-gold
Cream highlights
The deeply jigged surface creates darker orange coloration in the recessed areas while the raised portions show lighter orange, amber and cream tones.
The result is an extremely bright and visually distinctive Case handle that stands out immediately from ordinary brown, red or natural-bone Trappers.
Because genuine bone is a natural material, individual examples vary in color and jigging.
The photographs show the exact knife the buyer will receive.
That\'s particularly useful with Orange Peel Bone because collectors can see exactly how much orange/yellow variation they\'re buying.
Limited XX Edition — One of 3,000
The master blade is prominently etched:
LIMITED XX EDITION1 OF 3000
and the original blue Case collector box carries the same limited-production designation.
This knife is therefore one example from a total Limited XX Edition production run of 3,000 pieces.
As with your other Limited XX knives, “1 of 3000” means one knife from the 3,000-piece production run. It does not mean serial number 1.
Classic Case 6254 SS Trapper
The exact factory pattern is:
6254 SS
The 6254 is one of Case\'s most recognizable traditional patterns.
The numbering identifies:
6 — Bone handle
2 — Two blades
54 — Case Trapper pattern
SS — Stainless steel
The standard full-size 54 Trapper measures approximately:
4⅛\" CLOSED
making it a substantial traditional pocketknife without being oversized.
Two-Blade Trapper Configuration
Knife #178 features the classic Case Trapper combination:
Clip Blade
The large Clip blade carries the prominent:
LIMITED XX EDITION — 1 OF 3000
factory etch.
Spey Blade
The secondary Spey blade provides the traditional two-blade Trapper configuration.
Both blades feature:
- Stainless steel
- Highly polished finish
- Plain cutting edges
- Traditional nail nicks
- Manual opening
- Slipjoint construction
Case Shield
The bright Orange Peel Bone handle carries a polished Case shield.
The silver-colored shield contrasts extremely well with the vivid orange/gold bone and coordinates nicely with the polished bolsters.
