Trapper pics only?

One of the nice things about trappers is they are available in so many sizes. From "Tiny" to "Banana", and several sizes in between.

This thread is staggering. Gorgeous knives and high quality photos. Congratulations on your beautiful collections, everyone!

I've only got a couple Mini Trappers, but I plan to pick up a Tiny Trapper and Trappernut soon!

I gotta say, I've been eyeballing the Queens, I just don't like the big logo.
So far in shopping around, (trying to be frugal and picky), I just saw a case 150th Ann. Civil War Trapper, pass through the waters,

and I must say, if another comes along the way, at a fair price to my budget, the tin will find its way to my basement "box of boxes", and the trapper will find its way into my regular EDC rotation .

Seeing a lot of nice ones though.

I like that Workhorse, edbeau. Haven't seen one like it before, is that a micarta handle?

Both are different and quite unique, wazu013. Serrated spey...OUCH!

For something a little different, here is a sweybelly trapper pattern, made for Tuna Valley line, by Queen Cutlery in 2013.

Here's an Pre-ban Ivory trapper.

That's exceptional! It must have a great feel on the hand too. What does that etch say?

Looks like "Permian Basin Knife Club" with a pic of an oil drilling rig.

Thanks John.

I like the looks of a trapper, but I've found that I don't enjoy carrying a full-size one. But there are sure a bunch of lookers in this thread! :thumbup:

I would probably benefit from an explanation of the defining features of the trapper pattern. I can recognize "traditional" trappers with two "main" blades, usually clip and spey. But what makes a single-bladed knife a trapper? Is there a characteristic handle shape?

Anyway, here are some of my favorite images from this thread so far:
