All About Pocket Knives

I have not been able to find a thread in knife lore that is dedicated to the trapper pattern, which is strange as they seem to be fairly popular with collectors, so how about we show some.


Here is a nice clean and original schrade walden trapper jack.

Here is an 'EDGE" Solingen Germany 4 1/8" Trapper. It is a stout 'heavy duty' knife as can be seen in picture looking onto blade spines. "EDGE" was a brand name of Gutmann an importer of cutlery. The earliest imports like this knife came from Germany and are of very high quality. Later beginning early in 1970's Gutmann changed to Japan as a source for knives to import and changed the name to "Edge Brand".
I think this knife was made by Wilh. Wagner in 1950's.

That Schrade is beautiful.

Here is a nice old Robeson. 4 1/2" closed.

Great pattern and great thread Paul.

I don't have that many trappers, and fewer that are old. They are one of my favorites though.

Wow Keith, those are something.

I like the robeson Joe, it has curves and style. Always good bone on those old robesons as well. Some of the best up there with peachseed and NYK bone.

Great trappers fellas.

Nice show of knives, guys.

And another one I found.

Thomaston Knife Co., Conn., 3 15/16" closed.

Thank you, Paul.

Here's a couple of K-BARS.

Here's a nice Canal Street I bought several years ago.

KA-BAR / UNION CUT CO. OLEAN NY - Etched "Old Timer" Trapper's Knife" - Possibly the first knife labeled "Old Timer" ... before Schrade?

Barry, that is a great old knife with that shield and neat etch.

Here's an old Schrade Walden.

That's some beautiful knives being shown the last couple days, very nice thanks for sharing

That's long before schrade's old timers, which were first catalogued in 1961. Nice knife.


Beautiful trapper jack Joe.


Here's a little one, not sure whether to call it a peanut or tiny trapper. Either way the similarities to the full size schrade trappers are apparent.

Thank you, Paul, very nice little Keen Kutter.

I realize my Canal Street trapper is not such an "Old Trapper", sorry.

Here's a well built Camillus.

There have been so many awesome knives shown here in the last 24 hours, I just don't know where to start. I will just say thanks to all of you, and you certainly have some beautiful old trappers.
Oh, and keep 'em coming!
