48 western trapper

[Gunstock Jack]

I'm fairly pleased with the 48 pattern in all its configurations. This is a recent addition in genuine stag from CK. Thanks, Mike!!

I think my favorite may still be the original with the muskrat clip and straight narrow spey blades, but I gotta admit, the Western Trapper has a lot of class.

I'd like to see Great Eastern come out with a 48 in a muskrat clip master/pen secondary configuration. That shouldn't be too tough, should it? They already have all the parts. Just a thought....

I do like the long pull on the GEC. as far as looks go.

I want to know if the AAPK knife is easyer to open due to the nail nick being up more to the tip.

[Gunstock Jack]

I can't tell the difference in opening.

Gunstock,
Outstanding Stag on both of your 48s! I REALLY love your taste in knives.

Ultimately I decided against one of the AAPK knives because the shape of the clip blade isn't my favorite and I've reached my self imposed limit of knife purchases for a while.
A week ago I purchased a serialize stag #48 Trapper Jack with the pen blade, but I returned it due to a defect in the clip blade. A shame too because the stag was nice. I would've kept it, but I didn't want to deal with a warranty repair on a new knife. As a replacement for the Trapper Jack I went ahead and picked up this unserialized Western Trapper in Burnt Stag. Love this one so far!

[Gunstock Jack]

That's a beauty!! Congrats!

Gunstock & Augustus, that is some of the prettiest stag I've seen in a long time! Congraduations to you both!

[muskrat man]

They need to pair up the western spey with the original muskrat clip. now THAT would be nice!

[biglmbass]

Great showing of stag, folks. The yellow is pretty fetching too.

[Wood-Guy]

I picked this one up the other day, it's on the way as we speak... #48 trapper in American cherry wood. most of the smooth American cherry woods I've seen were plain, this one seems to have a lot of character. I couldn't resist... Great pattern as well.

[Wood-Guy]

My #48 American cherry arrived today. Nice!

[IMBand]

Great pattern and very nice wood on that one Ryan......I am a big fan of the SS line-up from GEC, nice score!!

Thanks IM! I don't have many pieces of the "acorn shield" series... its always good to add a beauty such as this one...

[Wood-Guy]

Picked this one up off of eBay couple of days ago. #48 trapper in bocote wood.

[Capt. Farrel]

Bocote is such a sight to see! Great knife!

[Wood-Guy]

Thanks! I couldn't resist the detail in the wood on this one.
