I recently got this Imperial mini trapper and I am totally impressed with it.

The build quality is very good and I like the look of the acrylic.

The steel is 3cr, it sharpened up to a fine edge.
I’m really interested to see how this steel holds up as I don’t have any of my edc’s in this steel.

Some 25s have previously been posted in this thread... but this one's mine.
The Che-Chen wood is beautifully figured, it would be nice if manufactures used it more often.

I can see the 30 year old c-clamp but where's the 30 year old Winchester Gunstock? Your
little beauty looks brand new.

Very nice!

Thanks.
It does look like abalone, there is nice depth in the acrylic.
I dare say that it is really close to GEC’s acrylic for quality.

GEC does have coolest looking acrylics though.

That is an interesting multi-tool! Looks to be a lot of utility pack into a small package. Great scales!!! What can you tell us a about it?

Unfortunately, I don't know much about it. I tried a few times to get a shot of the tang stamp. without success. I think it is stamped "GRAFF" or maybe "GRAFE" and "GERMANY" on the other side.

My small is a Wenger with flat aluminum panels. The big blade is 2-1/4", and the small blade is 1-3/16". The knife body is 3/16 in width. Very small, light, don't even know it's in the pocket. It is my most used knife and I usually have four knives on my person.

redsparrow hear is another shot and my best attempt at a tang stamp shot.

 

[redsparrow]

flatblackcapo Thanks for the additional photos, maybe someone else will chime in. It sure is a beauty... tons of character.

It is clearly Graef. My first guess would be Graef & Schmidt Germany (1881-1952), but it could be A Graef New York (1905-1908) or Charles Graef & Co Germany (Goins does not have a date).

 

[Shurke]

My guess would be the Graef Cutlery Co, which Goins has listed as "A Graef." Goins' dates are wrong in this case though. The Graef Cutlery Co. was in operation 1878-1908. By coincidence, a couple months back I spent several hours pouring over old New York City directories tracking down info on this company.
