Lockback Trapper?

[glocktenman]

OK, I've somehow missed these lockback trapper knives my entire life! I saw a new production one in a message the other day and could not recall ever seeing one before. What's the history behind these? How long ago were they made? Any info is appreciated....

Which company?

You talking about Remington's?

Something like this Moore Maker?


Or this Western/Camillus?

I think Schrade might have done some...?

Here's a pic of similar. The one I saw was a bit thinner than the above #4 Moore Maker and Western. Maybe it's more of a stockman?

The one I saw was a Rough Rider brand.

Just be warned.. The lock on the one I had DID NOT WORK.

Camillus made them. I had a double lockback large trapper as big and heavy as a sash-weight. I sure would like to know how I lost that.
