I see now that I need more slimlines, thank you for showing me the light.

That Thomaston though

The nick on the swedge is petty cool.

How about a Robeson and a couple of Case Classics.

High Carbon stamped . Half stops on both blades .

All good but pics 5&6 really caught my eye.

Thank you , doglegg.
I'm very happy to have that group of three.
I'm so glad that muskratman could work on that abused trapper.

I'm always glad to coerce someones knife ambitions.

The Thomaston is an old survivor. Thank you.

Thank you woodwalker, the Slimlines seem to be quite popular here.
You can hardly tell your packing one.

How about a peach!?

John posted the preemptive peek to kick off Trapper Tuesday and I’m sneaking in under the wire with the last look for this week’s edition

Nice shots Q ... The bottom picture has a great contrast between the dark center of the scales and the dark lava background, offset by the red edges of the bone. WELL DONE

Mahalo, T-Dog I was pleased with how that shot turned out for the exact reasons you mentioned although I was a bit disappointed that the red color in the lava rock didn't show up as much in the photo as it appeared IRL.

Thanks, TOPDOG!!

I really like single blade Trappers like this Queen, but I wonder if technically it's really a "Trapper" without a spay blade

A few more from the China cabinet.

A Queen Bulldog and Case Classic.

Some very nice trappers shown here today!
Here’s a 2904 1/2 S . Black box 1992 Winchester trademarked

One of the only Case in my rotation, this trapper is a favorite carry of mine. It was a gift from my knife pen pal last year for Christmas. It began my interest in trappers. Ignore the scratches and scuffs, it gets alot of pocket time and use.

Jp that's some nice stag on that one. An interesting read beneath as well

Great Trapper Show today everyone, and the Stag on that Beautiful Queen Trapper is Fantastic, Q!

1997 3-dot

A few more. First is a late model Schrade bone handled Walmart special. The second is a beautiful old Maher & Grosh with flawless peachseed bone covers. Given to me by a dear friend from Idaho who passed suddenly last year. Thanks Mike, we miss you.

A couple Parkers, a Seki Marbles and a Camillus.

I bought this one to give to a friend, thought I'd share it before I send it out. He lives in South Carolina and apparently this is a southern phrase, so I thought he'd get a kick out of it. It's been edited to keep it PG. I'm not a huge fan of boxed knives like this that keep the blades open. This one now has pretty mushy action from being stored like this for 30 years. Its a nice knife otherwise though. Best I can figure it was made by Bear on contract for Frost using one of their many brands, somewhere between the mid 80's and mid 90's. The stamps say Little River Knives and LRK.
