Excellent gift, knife and post!![]()
wish I could like this twice.
Thanks, guys. The trapper is one of my favorite patterns, and this was an unexpected but welcome gift from my boss at the office Christmas party today.
Thanks, Dylan. It took me years to find that particular pattern by Terry. I wasn't disappointed. I wish he was still making knives.Both knives are superb, Gary, but that Primos is just exquisite.
Thanks Dylan! I’ve got two in Père David's Stag and I’ve been perfectly happy with them in the natural state.Thank you, fellas! You both are rocking stellar pairs again today. Ron, do you ever feel inclined to polish up the Père David's Stag? Or has it grown on you some?
Thank you JJ. Your toothpick/trapper combo is superb.

While going through my knives this morning to contemplate Jack's KOTY thread, I decided to slip this #82 in my pocket. I find it to be a stellar knife with an excellent blade configuration. I just wish the bone wasn't so rough but I suspect if I were to carry it more, it will smooth out.
