True, I have one I bought my dad. It was never used and is as new 43 years old. I looked at one at tractor supply the other day. I'm inclined to search for a new old stock one. They are not as well made today, sadly. But what is?
I have several favorites I use, my son just gave me a Case Trapper for Christmas. I asked him if I should carry and use it or just put it up . He gave me this look and said- you better be using it, that's what knives are for. Gets his smarts from me and good manners and looks from his Mom... Joe
Doing the right thing is not always the easiest thing. It still needs doing..
I like a Case Trapper for small game and birds, but for bigger game I prefer a lock back style folder of a fixed blade. I have trouble holding on to the Trapper with blood on it. Old and weak, I guess.
