The customized trapper was done by Herman Williams. He was the in house customizer for Schrade for 24 years. His work is still available on Ebay      electra_225     is his handle. I got the trapper from a third party private sale on Ebay back in February. He made it in 1989..over 25 years ago and is nearly 80 now. You can check out some of his current work on the Schrade Collectors Group under Show Your Schrades by Herman Williams

Dazzling, who did the customization? Love the burnished blades.

Doug,

Thank you so much for responding about the cigar boxes, I honestly had no idea and now will be keeping my eyes out!

Thought I'd post some of my Schrade trapper

In 2003-04 Schrade released their Cigar Box Classics. 4 knives..4-1/8 Trapper, Peanut, 3-9/16 Stockman and a Muskrat. for this collection they brought back the Schrade Walden tang stamp which had not been used since 1973. There was a set in Brown jigged bone, (picture below...I know this is a forum for trappers, but you asked about the Cigar boxes) Green bone and a set in Blue rope jigged bone. The Blue bones were to have been part of Schrades 100 year Anniversary knives and are the most rare. Due to the bankruptcy very few of the anniversary knives were ever released, or for that matter even assembled.  Prior to the bankruptcy Schrade was assembling whatever they had parts for in an effort to beat the bank. There are quite a few of these knives around that are missing shields or blade etchings that I call "unfinished". Beautiful bone handled knives, just not assembled as originally intended.  The Blue bone and Green bone that I have are of the "unfinished variety.  

I do have their 80th Anniversary Trapper and the 1982 NKCA trapper

Some great looking trappers showing up in here!  The pattern has never been a favorite for using but for collecting?  Some of the most beautiful etches ever done a knife have been done on trappers!
