Bought this on ebay today but i can't find much information on it. Didn't pay much, but was wanting to add to my collection. Any one know what it is?

Max here's a pic from Dewey Furgeson's third edition. Page 32

I see that and no doubt that it is a  Slimline Trapper but the blade has been ground down to resemble a wharnie blade
and the EZ open looks aftermarket also. since they seemed to grind into the shield. It could have been modified for a florist because now it resembles a Florist's knife!

headed to find me a copy of this book!

Well, I contacted the seller, it was her father's knife who had died in 1979. He was a Police officer in Fla., she couldn't tell me about any mods on the knife, but she has about ten more different ones she is going to sell that were his.

I got the knife and it is a 61048... It is a red bone handle and it has been modified but not by the last owner. Obviously before...may have been a confiscated weapon?  It isn't a stainless blade so it shows in Mr. Dewey's third edition to be manufactured from 1950 - 1965...not a real valuable knife but hey, are we in this for the money? Thanks to all that offered their suggestions.

"....not a real valuable knife but hey, are we in this for the money?"

Not me! I'm one of those few that don't care what my knives are ever worth! Really.

I agree Craig, I collect for enjoyment not for future value. Though sometimes the value of my knife brings enjoyment also. So I guess it can go both ways at times.

Just like you two, I have collected things over the years for their emotional connection instead of their monetary value. My wife has shaken her head many a times...LOL.... I love the opportunity to restore and reflect my collection.

If I judged the value of my knives on the amount of enjoyment I get out of them I'd be selling them for $2000 a piece! LOL!!

Yes, I have several that are priceless - and get more joy out of them than money could buy.
