The Mini TrapPER DIEM -- Your Daily Mini Trapper

[QTCut5]

Mine's stamped Manchester, Ohio but on the back of the tang, it says China. I see yours has Louisville KY stamped on the tang. Was it made in USA?

Third line on tang stamp (right under Louisville, KY) is "Made In USA"...I believe this was a product of Blue Grass Cutlery.

Mine doesn't say "Made in" but it does say USA on the tang stamp. However, on the back it says China.

[QTCut5]

The pile side tang stamp on my John Primble says "Authorized Reproduction Stainless"

I used to own a Chinese-made Primble (although mine did not say "China" on the tang stamp like yours); but, I sold it because I didn't like the over-scorched charred bone handle on the one I got (maybe it was so ugly even China refused to claim it!)

Hope I don't get in trouble, fits the criteria length wise, but it's kinda fat.

Joe, Rough Rider calls that their "Sowbelly" Trapper. I kinda like that pattern. I have a couple that are the large variety. Maybe I should scoop up one of the 3¾" varieties like yours. Hmmmm Now see what you've done?

Ole smokey had a deal on them last week, 4 different handles $49.95.

Itty bitty mini trapper.

Itty bitty mini trapper.

Joe, is that a Mini-Trapper (3½" closed) or a Tiny Trapper (2 & 3/8" closed)

[QTCut5]

jerryd...I believe that is a peanut trapper, aka, trappernut.

[jerryd6818]

~Q~ I believe we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

A 6220½ Trapper Nut @ closed length 2-7/8" has a Peanut frame (rounded drop top bolster) with a trapper compliment of blades as shown here, taken from the Case Knife Outlet web site. ---► https://www.caseknifeoutlet.com/proddet ... 3106123C44

This is a Tiny Trapper 62154 @ 2-3/8" closed. Note the squared off top bolster.

[jerryd6818]

Itty bitty mini trapper.

What's the closed length?

[QTCut5]

It would be interesting to know what the manufacturer (Crowing Rooster) calls it.
It looks like the love-child of a tiny trapper and a trappernut.
Once we have a measurement, we'll know which "parent" it resembles more.
Meanwhile, big homer's term, "itty bitty mini trapper" will have to suffice! .

My contribution for today. And if you're reading this Ferg, no smart remarks.

[bighomer]

Whoa I didn't mean to start a ruckus, it's actually 3.5 ' long but it looks skinny to me. Aka itty bitty.

[jerryd6818]

Sorry to disappoint you but you didn't start a ruckus.

So it's neither one. It's a plain old everyday Crowing Rooster brand Mini-Trapper.

[bighomer]

It still skinny looking.

[jerryd6818]

It still skinny looking.

A little bit. Other than that, what do you think of the knife. Don't hold back. Tell it like it is.

Going with the Blue Monday blues theme: I see your "U.S. Navy" Navy Blue Bone and I'll ante up one Salesman Sample Carribbean Blue Bone

I like the bolster work on that one ~Q~.

[Quick Steel]

Exceptionally nice Trapper Q.

Well, if I'm going to post a Squid knife, I might as well round it out with a Doggie knife (they don't make a Zoomie that I know of)

Liking that one! A Zoomie??? You talking about Marine Commem?

[QTCut5]

I don't know anything about 'squids', 'doggies' or 'zoomies', so I will just post this one for all (branches), since after all, they're all for one (country), right!

[jerryd6818]

Squid (Navy) - Doggie (Army) - Zommie (Air Force), Marine Corps (Jarhead)

It's all in good fun. ~Q~ is correct. We are all for one, USA.

No offense was taken. Sure didn't mean it to sound that way. I have heard the term Squid and Doggies & Dogface, Jarhead or Jirine, but have never heard the term Zoomies. We always called them Flyboys. Like you said, all in good fun.
