Any love for Trappers?

I love trappers too, I've got several Case mini's and some GEC 73's, a Scagel Fruitport Clip (GEC 48?) even a wee lil Coates single blade mini trapper at a hair over 3". Of course there are tons @ 3 3/4" -4", but what I'd love to find is a single CLIP blade trapper at 3.5" (or just under) in a slippie. Does it exist from a quality manufacturer? Or do I have to go custom?

Like this? http://www.queencutlery.com/51_Work_Horse_Trapper.html The specs say this one is 1095. I have the jack version of this in D2 and I like it and the pattern a lot (in jack form :))

Yup, that works, thanks! Just ordered one off the 'bay for 42 bux! Now if only they came in ebony... ; )

Another pair arrived yesterday... Just took some pics today. These are in LVS Abalone



 
Lotsa love for this one since it was a Christmas gift from my son:

I'm not sure where this Kabar came from. It may have been my Grandfather's. Seems like I came across it just after Grandma died and we cleaned out their apartment since he had to go to a nursing home:

I like the striped ebony. I like the dark black as well, but this one is quite striking.
 
Great pics!! I'm not sure if this one still counts as a trapper but here's my latest #48.



 
Autumn Jigged bone is nice stuff Brett!! :thumbup:

Picked up a Rendezvous special #48 Trapper with 440C blades and burnt orange wave jigged bone handles. The handles are the same bone on the new bone #48 bird knives.
 
Here is one of my Schrade 94 Old Timer's.




I also have this recently accquired carbon steel Colt Trapper that has G10 handles and appears well made.
 
Nice 294 Brett!! Those don't come up too often anymore. They kinda dried up just as I was getting into them :( I only have a few well used examples.
