Thumbs up Another trapper

I have all the parts made for my third 2 blade trapper.

Gotta get these things out of my system so I can go back to work! This one is my third.

Thanks, Kirby.

Yes, the nail nick is unique. You're the first to notice it.

By the way, is the correct name for these "Saddlehorn Trapper"? Someone called a previous one that. I think it was Paul Long, Sheathmaker here.

Great trapper Don, must get around to ordering the plans. I've not made to many slip joints and never a multi-blade.

Cheers,

Andy.

I don't know about being spectacular But I'll give it my best effort.

Yes I've spotted you on British blades..please accept my apologies, but I thought I'd already spoke to you over there. Your input is allways most welcome.

paypal sent for plans.

Best regards,

Andy.

Hey Don

Just wondering, what thickness of steel do you start with when doing integrals of this size?
Also what thickness do you leave under the scales? I was thinking of getting some 1/8th stock , or would 3/16th be better? Thanks for sharing your work with us,

Robin Prince

p.s. I've got your Barlow plans and work is under way!
