TRAPPER TUESDAY

[B.F.U]

B B.F.U I liked your write up of the trapper, there's not anything you said that I can expound upon.

I like the trapper very well and have used various ones. Some have come and some have gone. My favorite trapper design is the remington 1173 style. The gec 73 is a great copy of it so I'm a fan of those. I have a collection of 73's and this is my user, the perfect using trapper as far as I'm concerned.

Of course I also like the schrade pattern at 3 7/8". This is a 1950's 294 with peachseed bone. This one is fairly plain, older ones are more fanciful with much more aesthetic appeal. Still, I really like this knife.

Then there's the standard old timer trappers, 94OT and locking 194OT. Same frame as the above schrade.

Those are some really nice ones! Gotta love the old Schrades.

Thanks for reading!

An interesting take on the trapper is the schrade 96OT. There was also a 97OT with a saw secondary blade. This is a different frame at 4 1/8" and they were not produced nearly as long or with the variation that the 3 7/8" trapper was.

In the end of the handle you will find tweezers and a pick, both very heavy duty. This knife is unused and I won't ever use it, but I can see how these tools would come in handy often. Whether they stay in the handle or not when you carry it is not something I have experience with.

Wow, very cool! Fits with the ephemeral roles of the Trapper.

In Trapper Tuesday fashion just won this on the bay for a great deal. It had me a muskrat clip and dark stag

Little baby trapper jack, schrade made for keen kutter. It's a cute 'lil thang.

Since the last one is a little bit of a girly man's trapper, here are some good hefty hand filling trappers, just so nobody gets the wrong idea about me.

After seeing all of Buzzbait ’s posts I had to pick one of these up. Glad I did. Very nice little knife. Case did a great job on these.

Such a fabulous display, thank you all for showing them, these are my fav type knives.

I have only been knife making a short while but let some classy folders pass through my hands not knowing what they were, regrets.

I have my old faithful with a worn out blade, still trying to find courage to make a new blade,
