Tidioute #23 Beaver Tail Trapper Single Blade Liner Lock Jigged Brazilian Cherry 235120LL

The #23 from Great Eastern Cutlery is the GEC version of a classic trapper. Instead of the traditional blade profile Great Eastern has opted to go with a single drop point Skinner paired with a robust liner lock mechanism. With a full size handle, satin finished, 1095 carbon steel, drop point blade and robust liner lock, this Trapper is ready to handle your heavy use tasks. This Tidioute version comes with Jigged Brazilian Cherry covers and Beaver shield.

Brand new, direct from Great Eastern Cutlery, USA.

Blade: The #23 Liner Lock Trapper comes with a single drop point Skinner blade equipped with a full flat grind, subtle top swedge and traditional nail nick for opening. Unlike a traditional trapper the #23LL has a stainless liner lock mechanism that pairs with the stainless steel back spring to offer a smooth and snappy operation with added security in use.

Handle: Brazilian Cherry Wood handle scales are fitted perfectly to a single polished nickel silver bolster of the generous handle, supported by solid brass liners. Heavily jigged, the Brazilian Cherry Wood has an organic look and feel, with a natural look and warm, comfortable feel in the hand while delivering the solid weather resistance, durability and traction. A single stainless steel liner forms the locking mechanism with a generous tab for secure purchase and reliable operation. Brass liners and pins round out construction along with the polished Beaver shield.

Each GEC folder ships rolled in wax paper inside a shipping tube with company information on the front.

1095 High Carbon Steel: Highly popular, simple carbon steel. Used extensively by both production and custom knife makers. Low abrasive wear due to low carbide content but very tough and easy to sharpen. Not corrosion resistant and will rust without proper care.
