Thanks! Should be here any day.
Great additions to your collection Craig - Congrats
Panama Trapper - Ebony
Standard 54 Trapper - Pocket Worn Bermuda Green
Tiny Trapper - Pocket Worn Bermuda Green
Tiny Trapper - "Crandall Cutlery" Caramel Bone
So Craig, share with us what you got......
The deed is done. I'm broke again.....until next month.......unless the Government decides to take all I have by then.
One reason I'd never get into the old Case knives, besides cost, it would take too much studying! LOL!
Agreed, Craig - good article. It is perhaps a good thing that I don't collect Trappers.
1. The old ones are way too expensive for my taste, so I could only afford the dime-a-dozen new ones. For a Grand, I would be looking for a fixed blade with about a 6" blade, a minimum of 3/16" thick, and "exotic" steel. Plus, I'd want to use it, and although a Tested XX trapper I might find would almost certainly be used - and expensive, I would be uncomfortable using it.
2. The article was confusing.
I get that the early Trappers had/have short rear bolsters, and I get the closed "C", but in that last picture with the three trappers I can't tell the top two apart.
Speaking of Trappers........good article...........
Trappers this month.
So Craig, what you gonna order???
