I’m carrying these two today. I don’t carry a trapper as often as I should, it use to be my most carried pattern. Me and the trapper pattern have a long history. Growing up one of mentors carried a old chestnut bone Case cv trapper. He and I would spend weeks camping and fishing on the gulf coast of Florida. I was in awe how the almost black spey blade made easy work of a cooler full of fish. I had a yellow cv trapper in my pocket the day I married my wife. The day my son was born I had a red bone cv trapper with me. A Case mini trapper yellow CV has been on my want list for a long time, think I will finally get one on order this week! Ok enough rambling. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Maybe it’s safe to say a majority of Case guys chase trappers. At least it seems Case sees it that way. It’s no secret some of the prettiest looking jigged bone covers find a way of making it onto trappers. Not to forget most of their commemorative offerings appear on that pattern. Long live the trapper!
 
Beautiful day in the south. This is turning out to be the most unreal spring weather we have ever had. Absolutely beautiful. My four kids and I, (nine, nine, seven, and six) had a great day celebrating my phenomenal wife. I’m carrying the two knives she has gifted me. She has always called me a pioneer, so she had to buy the SAK when she heard it was called a pioneer. She also loved that there was a knife called “Tree Brand”, since I am also infatuated with trees. She is a great wife and mom!

It looks like there are eyeballs under your knife sneeking a peek :D:D:D

That is such a great knife. Love the slanted bolsters!

I’m hoping to talk Jim Dunlap into slanted bolsters on the knife he is going to make for me. There is just something about those slants. I don’t care for pinched or wired but those slants!

No doubt. Love a slanted bolster. Care to share what covers and shield you are requesting? I’ve admired the Dunlap stockman that @SVTFreak has. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out!
 
Hey, great photos and knives guys! 110 pages since I last checked this thread. I think I need to get back into the swing of things...maybe. Anywhoo, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there who might stumble through this forum!

Carried the ultra-useful Camillus C-4 showcasing a 30-06 casing, which I wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for inspiration from @Buzzbait who has literally catalogued this particular knife for posterity on this forum.
