Take alook at eBay item 6615316953

I was all set to drop a bid on this one and I noticed the nail nick on the now wharncliffe blade was really close to the edge in relation to the spay blade nick. Then I compared it to a regualr trapper unaltered blade and I believe this had been reprofiled to the wharncliffe shape and as such is really not mint as the seller states. Wht's the concensus here?

Compared to my stock trappers, what should have been a master blade looks awfully short. It would have to be to make the bottom of a clip blade flat like that. I think you are right. Looks like a screwdriver knife that has been reprofiled to fix a broken blade. The bolsters and pins are fairly scratched to be a mint knife.

Next batter?

The knife listed on eBay is a Crimson Birch trapper, sold at Wal-Mart. The clip blade has been broken and reprofiled, compare the photos:

For my 2 cents worth, I think you guys have hit it out of the park !!

Not that familiar with the trapper, but isn't the clip blade pretty much the "standard" primary blade with the second being the "variant" ergo, spey, saw, wharncliffe etc??
