Which one?

[crbauhs]

SFO Mini Trapper, Dan Burke Mini Trapper, or a Queen whittler. Which would you choose?

Is the Queen SFO the one with the 1095 blades? If so I'll take that one.

That's what I vote too. In fact, I carried my cozy glen mini trapper today.

Ok so SFO is in lead by just a tiny bit. Anything else?

I love whittlers. The shape of them moves me.

Man that is too true.

Is the Dan Burke a custom, or SM/Queen collaboration?

 

[Beaver]

Of those choices, if the Dan Burke is a Queen collaboration with 12C27 steel, I would vote for that. I recently picked up the Queen/Dan Burke stockman with the same steel. Beautiful knife, the 12C27 sharpens nicely and holds an edge.

Cheese and chalk........
A mini-trapper and whittler are so different!

Do you already have a Whittler or a mini-trapper?
If so go with the one you do not have.

Then choice between the Burke/Queen and the Queen SFO carbon is really hard.
I have a stockman and 1/2 Whittler by Burke/Queen and they are very good quality with a good Sandvik steel, but will not patina.
I am not fond of the blades on the mini trapper being the same length, I much prefer a dogleg jack. And do not find the long spey of that useful, not quite long enough for food prep.


I have a Queen CSB Whittler. The main blade is quite thick and the smaller blades are like scalpes.
I prefer the Whittler as a knife because of the very stout main blade and the very different shape blades.

But on the other hand, the Queen SFO will not be around for long......

I Like Queen SFOs in 1095, though I only have 1st hand experience with the Cozy Glen SFO run.

 

[navihawk]

I'm not crazy for whittlers. The two smaller blades tend to be a bit less sturdy than say a stockman. go for the trapper.

 

[crbauhs]

Good stuff so far ya'll. The SFO seems to be getting alot of love, so does the whittler. I have a full size trapper, but I plan on giving it to a friend for Christmas so I will say I have neither the trapper nor the whittler. I'll let this one go for today and maybe till wednesday of next week and then I'll choose the winner.

I guess I'm in there with the majority, voted for the whittler. I've always been a sucker for a whittler pattern, just love the looks of them. I also really like the combination of blades, and this one with the pen I believe is my favorite version.
Great combination for all kinds of daily tasks and of course for whittling.

Can't go wrong there.

Sorry, I have never handled any of them or taken the time to find photos of them on forum so voted other. If I had pics of them to choose it would just be a 'if I had too' choice. 300Bucks
