“shieldless” Wharncliffe Trapper

(I felt that the last one got Kerry a little too excited)

John,

Another Great looking knife. Pretty hard to beat stag!

Kent

This is very quickly becoming one of my favorite patterns! But then, aren't they all? OK, I'm weak and I admit it.

Allan

Yep Allan it is a great pattern…extremely practical. I made one of my own that I carry everyday in D-2, (except when I fly). Once you have one, use it, you tend to miss it a lot when she is gone.

More important to me is the steel. I took a production knife with me on a trip a few years back…I need to cut some sand infested rope. The knife was not up to the task by any means…a lesson I will not soon forget.

To Have and To hold
in sickness and in health
till death do us part...

John, what ballpark time can you give as to when that was made?

You can read a little tidbit about this knife in my user section at BoseKnives.com

But to answer your question it had been sitting up on a shelf, in parts, for quite some time. How much time?…I have no idea. I didn’t get to reassemble it until November of 2000.

Here is a requested pic of the backside.

And in the closed Position.
