<<<SOLD>>>Here is a Handsome Amber Stag Bone Slim Line Trapper from Joe Allen. This knife has been in my collection for a few months, but an upcoming gun show forces sale along with couple of recently received custom slippies. The Bose influence is obvious on the blade grinds! This beauty features a satin belt finished ATS-34 (marked on reverse) blade with hand-rubbed finish on the flats to show off the gorgeous lines. It is wicked sharp too with incredibly symmetrical grinds. The backspring has just the right tension for that snap you know you want :thumbup: MINT/UNCARRIED-- AS RECEIVED FROM THE MAKER. Based of the Case 048 Pattern, but much better.
The only slight detraction is that the blade is not centered in the trough, but it does not and will not rub the liners. Doesn't show badly because this pattern has a narrow trough.
Joe has worked quite a bit under the guidance Tony Bose and the influence is obvious on the blade grind as well as the attention to detail. Joe consistently makes the best nail pulls I've ever seen! This knife also has a milled/relieved liners and 410 Stainless bolsters and liners. Great fit in the hand. Joe's work is among the best and the price is right too. 4 1/8" Closed, 7 5/16" open.
SOLD Shipped, paypal included. (paypal only for this one please) International okay, but add $25 for shipping and understand I have no control once it leaves the U.S. Joe's wait time for orders is out several months now, so don't miss this one.
First one to say they want it gets it. Respond by PM, Post or Email. Email responses intermittent through the work week.
Thanks for looking
