I have a 6.5 Bone Stag regular Canoe and a Humpback Stockman, and I love those. I found a Bean in 6.5 too! I might get it if it's still there allowance time next month.
Oh wow I have the Brown Bone pinched bolster Canoe, it has the look of a canoe with both ends pinched together! Too cool!
Gotta like the older ones. They are getting harder to find.
I HAD an Ivy Canoe, but one of my (grown) daughters begged me for it. Should have bought two when it came out. Well, the girls will eventually get the knives anyway, and I still have plenty to look at.
Hahaha. I'm with you on the Canoes and Beans, Craig. But, Trappers shoulda died off with the trapping industry; just ain't my cup of tea. Mind you, I have some cause everbody commemorates somthin with a dang Trapper. PA Game Commission issued a series of 5 Mini-Trappers (one each year), one for each of PAs game birds, and the NRA issued at least one.

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.

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.

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.

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.
