Ooops, hard tellin' the 73s and 23s apart. I've never had a 23, think I'd like to try one someday. Yours is really a looker!Red, mine is actually the big boy, the #23, and the lock has zero play. I suspect it had gone back to the factory before I bought it second hand, because the tang is not flush. Maybe this was done to cure some play in the lock, don't know?
I like it... really a nice size.I recently acquired this Schrade Walden trapper, that appeared to be mint...the fit and finish on it is as good as any of the GEC's I've bought.
I knew that I liked the feel of it, that it just seemed to fit in my hand nicely. For kicks, I compared it to my two Case trappers, and it turned out this Schrade is the "goldilocks" of trappers... right in between the two sizes that Case makes. (not counting the tiny trapper, of course)
I like this one a lot. I carry it quite often, without it feeling too large, or slightly too small... just right.
hornetguy what model is that schrade trapper? I am going to have to find myself one. That is beautiful i really like how both nail nicks are at the end of the blades.
Nice! Love me some Boker, Ed!Well, it's Wednesday but having been a "Day Late and a Dollar Short" more than once in my life, here's a gob of Boker Trappers.
