The RoseCraft Blades Cockleburr Creek Trapper is our take on a traditional Trapper pattern. This two-bladed slip joint features a 3.25″ D2 clip point main blade and a 3.25″ D2 spey blade, both with heavy swedging, half stops, and brushed satin finishes. The covers are rosewood, with brushed steel bolsters, steel liners, nickel silver pins, and the stainless steel Rosebud shield. It’s 4.125″ closed, 7.4″ open (main blade), and weighs 3.9oz. Based on a traditional Trapper pattern, re-imagined by Andy Armstrong.
A note about RoseCraft’s wood handles: Wood is a natural material with natural grain. The pictures of this product show several examples of grain that can be found in this material. No two knives are the same, and while your knife will fall into the family of the variations shown, it will be different.
Mark Kiger –
Trapper knives do not sit at the top of my favorite knives list. I have a few but I tend to favor single blade traditionals. The reality is when RoseCraft Blades drops a traditional I have to jump. This entry did not disappoint. I have had no issues with any of the RoseCraft knives and that is why I participate in every drop. This trapper is my favorite of this design so far and a lot of that has to do with the fit and finish that is inherent in all my RCB knives. Andy knows what he is doing. Sometimes the secondary blade, in this case a spay, seems like an afterthought but not so here. I actually prefer the spay over the primary. This is a very useful knife. I am a serious Jack Wolf Knife collector and I can say in all honesty that RCB knives punch way above their weight class, coming very close in satisfaction for me personally to my JWKs. I doubt anyone would be disappointed in any of their offerings.
