That trapper is a looker but they seem to be the highest priced damascus version yet
 
Those HT's are really nice. I haven't bought a slippie for my personal use in a long time. Now as a maker who primarily builds knives from Tony's original patterns I can tell you if I were going to buy a new slippie the HT would be it. I've said it many times before but I'll say it again. These annual collabs are an absolute steal when you consider the level of build quality and materials you are getting. What Tony did by teaming up with Case to bring these annual collaborations to the market is nothing short of brilliant. These are patterns from his portfolio that were prototype built and by the man himself and recreated to those specs by Case utilizing high end materials and processes. I fear this is something we may never see again and imo that is a shame. I hope Case has enough prototypes to keep them coming for many more years.

I think the HT is going to be my next major knife purchase. I've always preferred the Wharncliffe Trappers, but that Spey blade is a thing to behold. I'm not sure I can let it pass me by.
I agree with you, the Case/Bose collaboration knives are magnificent, and rival many customs.
 
Hello, can someone with an HT Trapper (or probably any collab slipjoint for that matter), do they have a half stop?

And also, how would you rate the pull and spring? I have a Case copperhead and feel it could use more, and a GEC made Remington bullet that i like the feel of for comparison (I'm kind of new into traditionals and slipjoints).

Thanks for the feedback!

I can't speak for the HT Trapper, but the 7 collabs I have all have half stops. Pulls vary on mine, probably 5 to 7 or so.
 
I have four collabs. All have half stops, all are multi blade, and the pulls are a pretty consistent 7.

I have three so far (Norfolk, Wharncliffe trapper, and a Eureka) and I would describe them in the same way, 6 to 7 on the pull and all with half stops. Fantastic knives and I plan to add more to my collection when possible.

The HT Trappers don't have half-stops. I'd say 6-7 pull and very smooth and consistent. The Locking Lanny's Clip also doesn't have a half-stop.

Appreciate it! I'm looking forward to getting one although i do wish it had a half stop.

It's a great knife; might be my favorite of the collabs. I suspect the cam tang has to do with the original. While I've never handled an original Remington HT Trapper, the Camillus reproduction I have also has a cam tang. So the Case Bose HT Trapper may have been constructed with a cam tang because of that. I would be curious to see if the custom HT Trappers made by Mr. Bose also have cam tangs.

If you’re in the market I would highly suggest you fire up your favorite search engine and find this dealer (or send me a pm for info). I have had the ebony version and just added this chestnut when they initially offered them at this price. This is a large stockman, 4 1/4”, a hefty beast with solid pulls. To me this is the stockman pattern done right. I’m a big fan of this Case/Bose collaboration, plus you get a free tribal lock thrown in. The special just runs through tomorrow, June 1st.
