Not much doubt who made them, but what do you call this pattern??
Serentine Jack? Modified Trapper? Slim Saddlehorn? Other??
They have features of all of those names I think. Maybe they don't need a name??

I think the proper term is a half-trapper...

I'd call them Schrades ::tu:: ::tu:: Serpentine jacks, and nice variants at that :D I always think of trappers as having a clip and a spey blade, otherwise every jack with a thin clip could be considered a trapper.

It turns out that the Schrade Walden, and Schrade Cut. Co. catalogs both call this pattern a Serpentine Jack. Thanks to those who have written to me! I'm good with that name; it is as the maker intended, so I guess I'll give them credit!
