Improved trapper and I couldn't be happier. I can't find any faults with it.

Beautiful looking knife. Good luck with it and what kind of wood is that?

 

[kniferbro]

Gorgeous. I too am curious about the wood...

 

[bonky]

Looks like bocate to me, but that's just a guess

 

[robertj298]

It is Mexican Bocote.

Congrats on your first Robert, the 48 is a very hand friendly frame.

Best regards

Robin

 

[Old & In The Way]

Congrats! Nice knife.

 

[Beard&Owl]

That bocote really is awesome. Love that pattern too. Congrats

 

[MerryMadMonk]

Congratulations Robert. It's a beauty!

..... and Robin has changed colors!

 

[kniferbro]

It is Mexican Bocote.

Man I was gonna guess Bocote! A real beaute...

 

[hoppes no9]

Awesome! Such a great pattern, and the bocote looks amazing. Enjoy.

My 48 western trapper in AB should be here today. I'll be honest, bocote has never really been on my radar but I must say, your example is stunning. I'm rethinking my purchase now haha.

 

[Markesharp]

Nice knife and thanks for the pictures.

 

[bonky]

It is Mexican Bocote.

And a very fine example of it, too. The contrast in grain pattern is gorgeous, and I hope you enjoy the utility of the pattern as much as I do. Congrats on a beautiful knife

 

[Mescladis]

Great looking nice and great mug!
And great pictures too!

 

[Gevonovich]

The 48 Improved Trapper is a pattern that calls to me every time I see it. Yours is just beautiful. Love the bocote! Congrats.

 

[richstag]

Congratulations.

 

[JustinR]

Great choice for a first.

I missed the boat on the improved trappers and wish I had gotten one in the smooth ivory bone.

 

[arizonaranchman]

Congrats! Glad to hear you are happy with it. I know I love my 48, it's a great pattern. Give us a review in a few weeks.
