Been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Half Moon Trapper. Anyone got info on which, if any of these knifes beside the Atomic Fireball has the updated backspring and tang to give it a little more snap?
 
I have the Panama White linen version and had the Neon Orange Carbon Fiber one and both had good snap. I believe most of the new ones do but can only confirm those 2. I'm assuming you're looking at a specific site that has the Atomic Fireball... If so, I'd shoot Michael an email or give him a call and find out.
 
I have the Chestnut-handled new Half Moon Trapper. Bolsters and liners are stainless, blade is 14-4 CrMo which is like 154CM. Decent snap after cleaning the joint, and 4 on the pull scale. I really like mine.
 
@TC- Please report back here if you find out, I've been eyeballing those too : )

From my understanding every HMT since the atomic red has the stiffer spring. I prefer the stiffer spring.

Michael has a list of HMTs on his site somewhere and all above the atomic red should have the improved spring.
 
Talk about the knives. NOT where to buy them.
Do not discuss dealer web sites. If you just HAVE to ask about a dealer. Do it via PM or email.

Next violation is likely going to get an infraction.
 
I sent Canal Street a email as to which Half Moons where updated. They replied that most of the the 2013 Half Moon production was the redesigned models. That is very little useful information to go on from them.

So of 2013, Atomic Fireball, Yellow Rose, and Neon Crocodile. The 2014 models are the 2 or 3 in kirinite and the burnt stag. AG Russell had an SFO or two for 2013 that have the stiffer spring as well. Not sure about any other SFOs.
