Tidioute #73 Scout Trapper Slip Joint Folder Mexican Bocote Wood

Giving new life to the classic trapper design, the Tidioute #73 Scout Trapper has a square end bolster, iconic two blade construction and top-notch Great Eastern Cutlery build quality. Originally built for trappers and fur traders, the trapper knife has become a mainstay for anyone looking for a versatile full size folder for the outdoors or daily use. This version comes with satin finished blades, one drop point and one spey, and Mexican Bocote Wood covers.

Brand new, direct from Great Eastern Cutlery, USA.

Blade: Delivered in the trademark combo of one drop point and one spey, this Trapper has two satin finished 1095 carbon steel blades to handle a variety of tasks. Each blade opens with a satisfying snap thanks to the moderate spring tension of the slip joint construction with a half stop for added safety. Both blades open via a classic nail nick and are unadorned except for standard tang stamp marks.

Handle: Built on a traditional brass liner and pin construction, the stout handle sports polished nickel silver bolsters and rugged Mexican Bocote Wood covers for a solid grip and warm feel in the hand. The full length back springs protect the blades when closed and deliver solid slip joint operation with good walk and talk. A polished Tidioute swell bar shield is fit to the front cover.

1095 Carbon Steel: Popular, simple carbon steel used extensively by production and custom knife makers. Low abrasive wear (edge retention) due to low carbide content and easy to sharpen to a fine edge. Not corrosion resistant and will rust without proper care.
