Quality quintet of trappers, Dave!
I'm a big fan of the slimline trappers from Case, and I know almost nothing about Battle-axe knives.
I was going to ask you what the middle knife was, but your next post revealed the info I desired!

My trapper for this Tuesday is one of the 12 Rough Riders I ordered as a set as my introduction to RR back in about April 2014. This one is a one-armed trapper.

Thanks, G! I don’t carry a trapper enough…

Thanks, G! I don’t carry a trapper enough…

I rarely carry full-size 2-blade trappers; they seem too big for pocket carry. Maybe I should carry them in my coat in the winter.
But I like carrying a slimline trapper, and medium (or, for Case, mini) trappers are splendid.

The trapper I'll post this Tuesday is a Rough Rider smooth tobacco bone locking trapper whose color is outstanding (thanks, Todd):

From a pass around box a year or so ago. Doesn't get carried enough.

This Rough Rider medium trapper (same size as Case mini trapper) is my first ever medium trapper. It was one of the set of 12 amber jigged bone RRs I ordered in 2014 as an introduction to RRs and to a bunch of patterns with which I had no experience. I learned that I had a strong preference for carrying a medium trapper over a full-sized trapper, a preference that still exists for me almost a dozen years later.

I had wanted a Full Sized Wharncliffe Trapper for a long time and last April I was finally able to get one . Case did a great job with this one .

I had the same experience a couple of years ago. I ordered a bonestag Wharncliffe trapper online and it is outstanding! Mine resides in a Case trapper belt sheath and gets a lot of use slicing homemade sourdough bread. (Also have a matching bonestag Wharncliffe mini trapper, makes a nice set.)
