I've been spending to much time fishing on the bay, ebay that is. I ended up adding a few new trappers and a few other things. Thought I'd show the trappers here.

Burnt Chimney MOP, serialized. #252.

Queen Classics #19, Crimson Bone. Supposedly 35 made in Crimson.

...and a Schrade (USA of course) 97OT, buzzsaw trapper. The liner lock is for the saw. SAKs made me appreciate a good saw on a knife.

The fit, finish, edge, and feel on all three is quite nice. Naturally, the polish is a bit more on the first two. However, the Schrade gives up nothing on fit and while less polished, the backsprings and liners are a wee bit better in the fit department.

The prices were good and the knives are great. I wish I could do that well on all my purchases. ;) The only hard part is resisting the urge to toss the Queen or the BC in my pocket. I would like to have at least a few minty knives around.
 
Been out of town for a few days.

Those are some great looking trappers to come back and see :D.
 
Those are some handsome trappers you picked up...........I have a Schrade Buzz saw Trapper....sits near the back door and goes into my pocket each time I go out to do yard work. I find the saw handy for light triming !

-Cheers !
 
I've got a bone handled one that has very nice fit and finish, good walk and talk. The MOP is stunning but I think I'd be afraid to carry it. Good find.

I agree Frank. While it feels so good the urge is to pocket it, I don't want to chance wrecking the scales. I remember seeing your posts about the BCs among others and that's what made me decide to take a chance. Plus I landed this one for cents short of $40, which seems to be around what everyone else picked their up for. That didn't hurt. Actually, not counting shipping, all three total just cleared a C-note by two bucks. Kind of makes up for the less stellar buys I've made lately.

I know I won't hesitate to take a chance on another Burnt Chimney if one comes along. Classy knives.

Yep, Gramps. That Schrade on the other hand will see some carry time. It's a good, solid, working knife with that U.S.A. on the tang. A take it out and use it knife.

When I get a chance I have one or two other things to scan in. I've been "fishing" the bay perhaps a little too much lately.:eek: Hmmm, wait, maybe I need to pick up a fishing knife or three, or more!
 
Hey, Amos, glad to see you are buying Schrades...
love that Uncle Henry Buzzsaw, been looking for one myself for a long while now.

Hope to get one soon, but a couple of mint carbon 80Ts are on their way to me as we speak, so have to ration my buying for a week or so.
 
Nice trappers , I particulary like the handles on that Queen. :thumbup:
 
Thanks, guys. Grateful, not only do the Queen's handles look good, that whole knife is contoured and light so that it sits the hand like a wand. That's what really hurts cause I'm trying to keep a couple of mint knives and this one just begs to be carried and used. I guess I'm going to have to try and find a #19 with D2 for carry so I can leave this one alone. :D
