Badge Hunt! 30 Day Trapper challenge
on: September 01, 2019, 12:29:59 AM
I searched around and didn't see a badge for what is my favorite pattern of traditional pocket knife - the Trapper.  So I'm challenging myself to carry and use one of my several trapper pattern knives.

I'll start with this Case mini trapper. I've owned and carried it for around 8 years. I really like the size of the mini trapper for EDC.

A Trapper was the or one of first pocket knives I purchased.  And still own, well over 50 yrs old, the knife, as I am older.

Used to skin and gut rabbits during hunting season, dress pheasants, when I lucky with the 20 gauge, and skin Muskrats that I trapped along the drainage ditches in the low lands were my grandparents lived. 

It is a good pattern. 

There is not a CASE badge, or a Trapper badge.  But, there is s Traditional Badge that you will qualify for after completing 30 days. 

Remember to title each post with Day (number) {ex: Day 1}

I will try to keep up and follow your collection and use.

It had been in a wooden box, wth my childhood keep sales for probably 25 years before relocated and then assigned to a tackle box for fishing duty.  Yet, for a $3.00 drug store buy when I was 7 yrs old, a Japanese made Sabre has good steel that holds an edge even considering the abuse I subjected it to while developing sharping skills.

Day 2 - This is the first trapper I purchased and was probably my first "nice" knife.  The Camillus Yellowjacket has been with me for about a dozen years.  I like it so much that I decided to not carry a Leatherman today.

The Trapper is one of my favorite traditional patterns. Here are a few of mine:


Case Trapper
Case Slimline Trapper
Rough Rider Stoneworx Trapper
Rough Rider mini-Trapper
Rough Rider Fat Boy Trapper
Camillus Yello-Jacket Trapper
Boker double lockback Trapper
AG Russell Trapper in VG-10

countrydirt - Out of all these, I think the Yello-Jacket by Camillus is my favorite as well.

Day 3 - Today I am carrying a Uncle Henry trapper I've had for about 5 years.  It's a decent knife, but the fit and finish of this one is not like my 40 year old UH stockman (which I'll carry later in the month).

I'm a high school ag teacher and I always have a unit on hand tool maintenance and sharpening, knives included.  I provide the knives.  This one is taking me a while to get a decent edge back on it after I try to undo what a couple of classes of freshmen have done to it.  That's why the blades aren't open in the pic.

That's why it takes a while to get an edge back.  I also have several really inexpensive folders I being as well.  I'm slowly moving my "good" knives out of the teaching rotation.
