I found this a few years ago cleaning out my mother in laws house. It was almost totally encased in wax:eek: Slowly, over years I gently cleaned off the wax and have been treating the metal with a Marine Tuff cloth. I also put a very, very small straight edge on the blades to make them sharp. It is a very strong, well built, and solid 2 bladed folder.

I haven't found too many of these around. This one has been used and sharpened, but not to the extent that it's been deformed. Judge for yourself by the picture.

USPS MO only.........$150

That is not a trapper. It is probably best described as a half-whittler. A trapper has two equal length blades that are on the same side, one generally being a spey blade and the other generally a clip of some sort, and most commonly a California clip.

Thank You for the correction dma:)

Info on these B&P's is a bit sparse. I did find pics of some owners manual pages and the knife is not described as a trapper:)

I'll just share the scant info I've been able to find over the past few years:)

Any and all info on this piece is welcome even as it stands at it's current price per forum rules.:)

It is a nice knife, but not mint. I think you are asking a bit too high a price for it. I like the wharncliffe blades because I whittle, and if I had this I would not put it up as a collectible, but whittle with it.
 
Thank You again dma:)

I'm not too comfortable selling online because of my lack of exeprtise in items such as this. I appreciate your input:)

It is still a very fine and solid Knife. Definitely built with quality in mind:)
