Thanks, and I like your #74.
The #74 is my favorite large Trapper because of its comfortable rounded butt section and smooth lines.

I didn't think I'd like a trapper pattern until I actually got one in hand. Now, I'm enamored.

Good pic of the ebony. Beautiful clip.

Got this on my belt now. Old pic. The grease on the blade is from BBQ brisket and sausage at a great restaurant in San Marcos, Texas.

I've been eyeballing the Boker Trappers but was wondering if someone can answer about the "High Carbon Stainless" blades. I guess I always assumed high carbon content made for a blade that took on a patina and stainless was well....stainless. Do the Bokers take a patina like a Case CV or GEC 1095?

 

[black mamba]

High carbon stainless just means it has about .5% Carbon or higher, so the blade will take a proper hardness. Stainless generally means it has at least 12% Chromium to resist rusting. For many years Solingen stainless steel was roughly 440B in composition, or about .75% carbon, same as their C75 carbon steel blades. The stainless just had the added Chromium as well. I'm not certain they still use the same steel now.

I only have a few trappers but this is one of my favorites.

This dogleg has the most amazing snap. While my iPhone pictures leave a lot to be desired, they capture that the mark side is much darker than the pile, I kind of like it that way.
