Now that the holidays are over and people might have a little money to spend, putting this one back up.

Putting this one up for sale. ~4-4.25” (not exactly sure if size, i can measure it if it is important to you) trapper in old micarta. 52100 blade and spring. Some patina, no rust. Sharpened and cuts like a laser. Centered, no play, great walk and talk. About a 6-7 pull. Not pinchable but not a nail breaker. Great example of John’s work but just not my style, so off it does to someone who will use it. Let’s say 250$ obo to your door. Trade interest would be a case/Bose wharncliff trapper in jigged bone, amber bone gec 48 improved trapper +cash, or other suitable custom improved trapper. Please don’t be offended if I decline your offer. My tastes can be specific. Post contact info here or PM me if you’d like to talk.

It does. I believe it’s called cloud shield. Did the picture links not work for you guys? Here’s a couple.
Also, I measured it. It is 4.25” closed.

I always just call it a "New York" shield, as it was used a lot by New York Knife Co.
One of my favorite shields, and that is a KILLER knife with great steel ... a workhorse that will last you a lifetime and more.
Please excuse me for de-railing, but someone should grab this and get it to work!
 
Thanks - I guess only the last 2 pics opened for me originally - very nice!

thanks guys! It really is a great knife. Just not my style. I carried it a bit and it did everything and asked for more.
 
Are you interested in trades at all?

I’m sorry I just saw this.

I am seeking an 48 improved trapper in antique amber bone from gec. I’d consider other improved trappers. Other than that, not much that I’m looking for at the moment.
