Thanks Monk!

I actually like the Trapper Jack better than the Western Trapper(not a big fan of spey blades). I had to return the Stag Trapper Jack I purchased due to a defect in the clip blade. Fortunately I was able to find a Western Trapper that was almost as nice in the stag department. I'm not a big fan of trappers, but the lines on the new clip blade matched up with the long pull and swedge made this knife a must have for me. Hope they make a single blade version in Primitive Bone. I liked the previous #48 handle, but the style of clip just didn't do it for me for some reason.
