Custom Slimline Trappers

[Dornblaser]

Slimline trappers have really struck a cord with me. I was wondering if folks who have them would mind posting pictures of custom slimline trappers. I have enjoyed seeing pics of Case, CSC, GEC, Scagel, etc., trappers but it would be nice drool over some of the custom slimline trappers.

Thanks,
David

Does this count? It's a serpentine trapper from Tony Bose. Doesn't get much better than that!

And, there is a beauty by Ken Coats for sale right now!

I'm actually hoping to receive one for the holidays that I ordered some time back.
Hope I'll be able to show it off here with a little bit of luck.

I have a single-blade version on order with Mike that should be here sometime in February? I ordered the ironwood. I like your two-blade knife as well, Mike makes great looking knives.

I consider this Camillus 4-line trapper pattern to be a slimline, but I could been wrong...maybe. It's a small one at 3 3/4".

Awesome! Not much Camillus left there.

You're right. It's a silhouette of a Camillus.

I misread Kerry's post, I thought that Camillus was a name for one his patterns and not a refurbished, is there a better word?, knife.

Stunning.

Kerry's custom knife is based on the old Camillus "4 Line" trapper. (Which had two blades, clip and spey.) It is not a re-work but a custom knife from Kerry's bench.

(The four lines refers to the four lines of writing stamped on the tang of the original Camillus made knife.)

I love Don's slimline. Definitely on my list!!!

No offense to ANY of the great guys making slimlines, but I really think that Don's are the best looking of all.

Kerry, the blade (especially the swedge) on that is spectacular!

None taken and that is slim slim slimline trapper! It makes a standard trapper look like a fricken beached whale!

I love the grinds on this slimline from Joe Allen. Newer pics of an older knife.
