TRAPPER TUESDAY

A few trappers to celebrate Trapper Tuesday! Have a good one everyone!

 

An old friend who just doesn't get out much.

 

El Diablo,

 

So nice! I wish GEC woulda do a run of these again!

 

This is almost my favorite EDC.

Big ol trapper!

 

This is my Makinac Bridge Walk Case Commemorative. Imgur says I copied the image, but we'll see (late because of power outage).

Yeah, there it is. The other side is dappled blue and white.

 

This is the Bear MGC trapper I found buried in my dresser. I forgot I had ever had it. I can't find many details online about the MGC versions. I assume it is some form of 440 steel. The texture of the handles looks like worn stag, but it could well be "bone stag". I apparently carried this one quite a bit, because of the bluish tinge around the edges... it appears to be pretty nicely made, almost no gaps at the springs, and blade half stops....

 

So you're one of those guys that wears gloves when handling knives.
I see this all the time when surfing the Big Auction site, always wondered why?

 

I thought those auction guys wore cloth gloves?

 

I've seen both.
I think they like to give the impression that their knives were never touched by human hands.

 

The cloth gloves are classier: silver polishing gloves.

 

well... I don't know much about the big boys on the auction sites, but I was wearing gloves because I was at work, in a manufacturing cleanroom.

I also had on a hairnet and beard cover, smock, and booties. Quite stylish....

 

That's what I figured.

 

I know. I just didn't want other folks thinking I was one of "those" guys....

 

Tidioute Trapper Tuesday

 

Souvenir of my factory tour at GEC a few years ago.






I purchased this beaty from the "seconds" display case to save a few shekels, hence the tiny pin-crack. No regrets! I got a beautiful knife at a great price, therefore not ruining my frugal reputation! T-A
