Ploppert Trapper in the most amazing stag I've seen!. comes with leather pancake sheath. $700
":This is Tom's Shadow Pattern Trapper. The blade, as well as the spring are PM 154 steel, and so marked on the blade ricasso. The liners are heat treated and tempered 416 stainless steel. The pins are also 416 SS. The scales are two slabs of the most killer stag we've seen in a while - richly colored and highly figured. The blade has a half stop, locks up tight with no play, and the blade seating is dead center. The blade pivots around an Aluminum Bronze Bushing. Nice large nail nick, with firm pull. Tom's grinds are clean and symmetrical. The tolerances that he is able to maintain are outstanding! Tom has definitely mastered the "walk-and-talk", and this knife is a great example. "
Condition: Mint.
