Decided I'm going for the mini trapper in CV.

I already own a buck stockman
Have several knives kinda like a sodbuster and thats not what my grandpa had.
Mini-trapper is only $10 more and similar size and bulk to the sodbuster JR

The mini-trapper is traditional and different to my collection of users.

Eventually I get a SB JR. because they catch my eye.

Mini trapper is a good one.

I tend to carry a full size or the slim line more but pick what suits your needs best.

I've carried a mini-trapper for over 50 years.
Case, Buck, and Moore Maker come to mind.

Never used a Moore Maker knife, but have two of their fencing pliers and love them

Me again...


How about a Russlock?

It would be different than anything I have and its a one hand opener...

I don't care for the tab sticking out of the back of a Russlock when the blade is closed, but to each his own.

2 blade texas jack is another good one

Got several slim line trappers, the 048 pattern was called a sportsman’s/truck farmer’s in the 60’s.

The slim line two blade was the first Case/Bose collaboration in 1999. I have a Damascus version, clip and wharncliffe.

I wish the 2 blade slim trapper would come back.

I'd take either a wharncliffe or a spey second blade.

Flea bay?


I think theres a mini-trapper in my future too. Especially considering I can use my cabelas points to get it "free"

Still debating on the russlock. Need to go fiddle with one.

Backgound.. Work in the city in a technical office, but hunt & fish & camp, and own a farm (rent it out) that I do stuff at.
Current EDC is a spyderco delica that I use the clip as a money clip.
Second favorite is a leatherman wave,
third carry (when Spyderco isn't there) is a Swiss army knife Cadet (super thin) or Pioneer (relativley thin)

Designs catching my eye are medium stockman, sodbuster jr., and because many people like them here.. Mini trapper.
I don't want a large knife.

Any other patterns to consider that don't get too heavy or bulky in the pocket?
Which would you pick from the above based on my current EDC and stated choices.

Go.

Edit: I remembered one time I was in the shop and I pulled out my shiny new buck 301 large stockman and my grandpa said "what kind of a broad axe do you carry??"...
So I assume he carried a meduim stockman and knew better than to carry excessive big knives. (still have buck)



I have one Sod and like five Jr's and prefer a small black sheath and I also work in an office environment.

Trapper Lockback would be my pick. Carried one for years. Finally gave it to one of my nephews.

I like to carry a Case 61048 slim line trapper pattern. It is a nice light weight knife. Better to get an earlier one from the 70's or older with the carbon steel.
