Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum, and being new, I'm going to assume I am probably not posting this in the correct section, if so, please forgive me.

The last week or so, I've searched this forum, along with countless others, and googled to my heart's content, and can not find anything close to what I'm looking for, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out!

Basically, exactly what the title says, I'm trying to find a knife, something along the lines of the full size Case trapper (looking for ~3.5" blade) but with a bottle opener. The only thing I've found from Case is the mini trapper with cap lifter. Same with GEC, nothing the size I'm looking for. Hell, even a SAK cadet-ish knife would be acceptable if it had ~3.5" blade. So does anyone have any ideas on knives that would fit those criteria?


I guess I should add I'd like to not spend over $100 if possible, I am a little flexible here, but over $100 will be pushing it.

Most of the large Victorinox Swiss army knives satisfy those criteria.

Victorinox Mauser GAK has two main blades, a clip and a spear, plus a saw with bottle opener, all three in the neighborhood of 3.5". The regular GAKs have just the spear and saw/opener.
 
Gotta be a folder? Cause Wayne "Duck" Childress tends to put out numbers of fixed blades that size, with a bottle opener on the other end. 440c steel usually. Wonderful sheaths, generally pocket or neck. And right around$90-110,depending on different factors. Right here on the knifemaker's part of the exchange, fixed blades. Otherwise the model of knife that Railsplitter mentioned was based on, Remington...4243? I think. Can be found on the big auction sites, lotta "new-old stock"
Thanks, Neal
Yah the model is 4243, camp bullet

That GEC #98 looks nice, a little more than I'm looking to spend at the moment though. I'd really like to keep it to one blade if possible, and the extra tools on the SAKs are why I haven't gone with any of them. Really doesn't have to be anything with premium materials, this is just a back up to my main knife. And I definitely want to keep it a folder haha.
I don't know what knife this is but it looks like its pretty much what im looking for: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMfGCJ_D82k/?taken-by=kochtools&hl=en
 
That's a custom knife made by Gene Wiseman if I'm not mistaken. Most likely made to the buyer's specifications.
 
Man, there's a fistful of The Remington's I mentioned on auction sites under, well under, your top end price point . The blade length is gonna be over 3 1/2", but I don't recall precisely what it it is. Worth a look if you haven't already decided on something else.
Thanks, Neal

The Puma Pocket Hunter II is the closest I've seen, but it has a spear blade and way overpriced for a knife with 440a steel. It's interesting that it has a combo bottle opener, saw and screwdriver. Last I looked it sold for $160. It's beautiful, but 440a steel at that price, I just can't drop the hammer.
