A Very Special Limited Edition Set of Trappers

[Hoggslayer]

I haven't said anything on this forum about this subject until today so this might come as a shock to some. This has been in the works for a few months. A Limited Edition set of 100 Case Trappers designed by my son and I.

He and 12 others were wounded by gunfire on May 18, 2018 in Santafe, TX when a fellow student opened fire in his classroom killing 10. My son Clay was shot 3 times but survived to make a remarkable recovery. We wanted to do something special for some of the Dads and his teammates. Seeing how we are knife collectors, we thought of this idea and it was cheaper than passing out guns.

My son will give away 50 or 60 of these and the others are going to local businesses owner that have offered to help cover some of the cost. Case was a awesome company to work with and they really stepped up and were a big help in making this possible. God bless and remember to hug your children often.

What a great idea Hoggslayer, sorry to hear that your son was one of those shot. Doesn't sound like he has a victim mentality. Good for you and him with this endeavor.

Triumph out of tragedy! Way to go, and I think that is a beautiful knife!

Great work! Those are beautiful knives, and a fantastic way to remember the loved ones lost and the community strength gained.

Just incredible all the way around. Good to know your son has recovered so well. Great idea. OH

I am grateful your son survived and has made a good recovery. I think the knives will be greatly appreciated by those who receive them. God bless all who have been touched by this tragedy.

Simply amazing! Y’all have done something very special with those knives.

I am so sorry to hear that your son was in this tragedy. I’m a high school teacher and hardly a day goes by that I don’t think about how I would handle a situation like this since I can’t carry my 1911 with me in the school building.
