TRAPPERS??? I like trappers!!!!

Couple o' GEC 73s:

Couple o' Canal St.:

A favorite oldie KA-BAR that was once disintegrating cracked ice celluloid, now recovered in vintage stag:

Couple o' GEC 48s in stag and ram's horn:

And this beauty I had spruced up by Muskrat Man with elk and filework:

I sold it off for knife inventory funds for the store, and about a year ago I happened upon it in the Exchange; was very happy to re-unite, so thanks to the seller!

Here's my Rough Rider trapper. This is the first RR that I bought. My only real complaint is that the nail nick on the clip blade is too shallow, making it difficult to open unless I open the spey blade first so that I can sort of use my thumbnail and pinch the blade at the same time. It doesn't help that the clip blade is a bit stiff, which is consistent with my complaint that the biggest issue I have with RRs is inconsistent pull between copies of the same pattern as well as between blades on the same knife. Overall a nice knife and a real bargain considering the price.

This one's still out on loan. Wondering if I'll ever get it back. I think he likes it.

Modoc ED - I've really been enjoying Trapper Tuesday, thanks for starting it.
black mamba - Jeff, you sure brought it today... I mean horn & pearl... just awesome!!!

Here's my first trapper, a well used Sabre bought in the early 60's and another favorite of mine, a Slim Dog Leg Trapper from GEC.

This is the largest production model trapper that I am aware of, made by Carl Schlieper from Solingen, Germany in the 1950s.

Thanks, sparrow, and both are 3⅞" closed as well, my favorite size.

I have piles of trappers.. I'll filter them in a few at a time to keep the thread fresh. I like them as much or more than stockmans among traditional patterns. The big fat swaybelly Queens and the full and midsize 2 blade types are my favorite.

For now, heres a recycle pic from the orange knife thread..

Why not another, now that I am digging...

Posted this way back, but BotoPhucket ate it.

Not bad for a hundred years old or so.

That's a big one all right! Wonder what they were trapping. ???
Looks not only uniquely large but of high quality which makes it interesting and certainly cool.

Thanks, sparrow, and both are 3⅞" closed as well, my favorite size.

My favorite size for a trapper too, Jeff. I like my 4 1/4" but I'm happiest with and carry a 3 7/8" most often when I choose a trapper for the day. Yours are good as they get.

Got this one because I am related to the man, according to my family book, and I will not let peer pressure scare me.

He was a good man caught up in a tough situation. A godly man.

Haven't met him yet. He was cooler and badder than Sinatra.

John Wayne was the baddest of them all, he had cancer, had 2 ribs and a lung removed, 4 months later filmed The Sons of Katie Elder and did all his own stunts to prove he was healthy.

You know, you're right! (Although I bet he had a stuntman take the fall when he goes over the balcony with Forrest Tucker in Chisum.) The Duke was the greatest! And can't watch The Shootist without getting emotional.
