The trapper is a classic pocket knife pattern that is about a century old. A trapper is a jack knife slip joint folder with two blades that both open from the same end of the handle. The thing that distinguishes trappers from other jack knives is that a trapper has equal length blades. The classic trapper has clip and spey pattern blades.
The Transition Series celebrates the change of Bear & Son tang stamp from 2009 to 2010. The new 2010 tang stamp shows 10 stars instead of the dots used in the last decade. The stars are a salute to our American made Tradition. This Series contains some great patterns made in the 24 years of knife making tradition in Jacksonville, Alabama.
