Big Trappers?

Post by Bret888 »

It has been a long time since Kathy or I posted much of anything, and I have been wanting to show a few we have gathered up in the past few months. I don't think there is a big trapper thread, but I could be wrong?

1. Catt B1079
2. Rem 1123
3. Ka-Bar
4. Seneca (Utica I think?)

Hi Bret,
I got this Camillus in 1991. It's one of my favorite knives.
It's great to see you back. Thanks for the thread.

Thanks MB, I like that one too.
Joe that is a cool knife. I don't recall ever seeing one like it? Do both blades lock, and that is 2 releases we are seeing?

That's it Bret, two blades lock and two releases.
Apparently they were problematic for Camillus to manufacture and the didn't make them for long.
They offered them in plastic stag as well. I got mine from SMKW.

Great knives Bret and the Seneca was made by Utica. I have seen a couple others like it through the years but not as nice as yours.

Those double lock knives are cool!

Bret and I were able to get to a local gunshow today & we were able to pick up another big trapper. It was also a Camillus made knife from my brief research (google :wink: ). Bret loves this pattern.

Some beautiful old knives! Here's a couple of newer Case Panama Trappers, the ebony one is the 2012 SHOT show knife. 4 1/2 inches, there real attraction for me was the skinner blade with the clip and then the swedge on the clip.
