Brent Mathison | Custom Richlite Trapper

Brent Mathison builds knives out of Boerne, Texas, as a LoneStar Member of the Texas Knifemakers' Guild — a mark of standing among a community of makers who hold each other to a serious standard. His work favors clean traditional forms, executed with precision and finished by hand. This Trapper is the classic two-blade pattern — a clip point and a spey blade folding from a single spine — built here in CPM154, a stainless steel known for a strong balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance, well suited to a knife meant for daily carry. The handle is Richlite, a dense resin-set composite prized for its stability and low upkeep, giving this piece a clean, understated presence next to Mathison's more exotic-material builds. Sourced directly from Mathison by our custom knife buying team at Blade Show 2026, this Trapper is a straightforward, no-fuss piece from a maker equally comfortable working in rare materials or the fundamentals.
