You have to hold one of these to believe it. The trapper weighs just 1.1 ounces. I've always thought it was hard to improve on a classic slipjoint design, but Jerry has managed by making them in carbon fiber with no metal liner! Maintains the original look and design, but makes the knives very easy to carry. Even a big pattern becomes a reasonable EDC. Nice new wrinkle to slipjoints and possibly the best use so far, of carbon fiber on a knife.
