Craig that is a nice one! What color they callin that? The pinched bolster is too cool!
Craig, that's one sweet knife. I might look at it also.
Trappers are my favorite Case knife for EDC. I like the bigger ones for the type of use I put them through.
Yeah, there's A LOT of guys that still like a Trapper for EDC. But, like everything else, different strokes for different folks!
I like the Case mini trappers - I have two that I use at times for EDC.
For me, if I want a non pointy blade, i like a sheepfoot or coping blade. As for the spay blade, on a few occasions I've take a file and rounded the tip off so it lacks that itty-bitty point. The value of the knife disappears but then I have an actual non-pointy blade.
My Stockmans are taking a rest. It's Canoes and Trappers for a while I think. But I DO "need" a Swayback Gent in Pocket Worn Red.....for using.......and one for collecting. LOL!
Maybe they kept the pattern cause you are trapped into buyin one if you want a commemorative knife, like the Case Presidential Dollar ones - of which I have none, cause I been buyin the Silver Eagle Canoes.
Once upon a time I felt the same way, but then I started to carry a Case Mini Trapper back around 1980 for a while and suddenly I started to appreciate the long spey blade! So for me, I like it when I want a blade that isn't so "pointy" for some jobs. So I'm one of the ones that still appreciates the good old Trapper.
