That is really, really nice.

That Remington is sweet. Saw similar one at estate sale couple weeks back. Got excited until I picked it up and saw the broken blade

Saw Prester John post today and thought I’d poke my head in and show everyone we’re still alive. Case in smooth antique bone. This pic represents the first down time we’ve had in a week!

Nice knife, but it doesn't go with the book's title. The knife should be a Schrade Uncle Henry 885UH, also known as the "King Ranch." (Yeah, I know it's a Stockman).

Well, the trapper is pretty common around here, and the King Ranch Saddle Shop (located a few blocks from where I work in Kingsville) sells plenty of Case knives with their Running W brand on them. I've seen Moore Maker in there too. And some very expensive knives whose name I can't remember. They don't sell Uncle Henry. (I like stockmans too.)

These are the only two Trappers I have. I’m still looking for a green one to complete the set. If I could ever find #0097, that would be terrific. I’d really like to handle a Case mini trapper. The dimensions look about right for what I consider an everyday knife.

The blades on this Remington want to be a trapper, they just didn’t get the memo about pivoting on the same side

Are those two from 1978? They are beauts!

They are. The shield in the red one is upside down, not sure if that was a factory error or a repair job. I have the green, brown and red Bison’s to go along with them too.

A Google search got me there, but it's super high $$. Regardless, I too favor those slim trappers. Those were/are well made.

They are definitely a solid knife for sure. I’m not sure about other parts of the country but I have never seen anyone pull a trapper out of their pocket in the Northwest. I might just have to start carrying one to strata trend

One of the best Trappers... ever! Tidioute 48 in Bloodwood
