I've got a couple of the trappers Bob just haven't had time to take pics. Snap is great,you'll love it. The Rendezvous trapper is the stoutest of the group I have......like a bear trap :mrgreen:

Thanks! :D You gotta get you one, the two blades are a bear to open but the lockbacks are smooth! ::tu:: Better yet just get two, they are better in pairs.

I might have to get one then, do they have half stops? I wish my #72's springs were stronger and had half stops.

The single blade lockbacks don't but the double bladed do. They have quite a hefty spring on them, it's such a difference between single and double blade. The difference in springs is night and day. ::hmm::
