[Buck] Trapper, Classic Wood

The Buck Trapper is a classic Trapper pocket knife with 2 blades: clippoint and speypoint. Exactly the way a Trapper should be. And all that for an amazing price!

You open the Buck with two hands. To make this easier, there's a nail nick which gives you a little extra grip using your fingernail. This pocket knife is not equipped with a full lock, only with a slipjoint mechanism. This provides some resistance to prevent the knife from snapping shut during normal use. However, if you press on the spine of the blade, the knife will shut.

Blade made of 420J2 steel

This blade is made of 420J2 steel, a basic stainless steel type that is easy to sharpen.

The blade of this knife is enhanced with a 'satin finish'. This is a classic and tasteful finish that is very popular.

Handle made of wood

The handle of this pocket knife is made of wood. This is, of course, one of the best-known handle materials for knives. We always recommend taking good care of a wooden handle. Do not expose a wooden handle too much to moisture and regularly coat the wood with oil or wax.

Traditional: the Trapper pattern

This knife is a so-called ‘Trapper’; one of the oldest and more famous ‘patterns’ in the world of Traditionals. Usually, the 2 blades hinge from the same side of the handle. These blades are usually a clippoint and a speypoint, but variations are possible. The origins of this model lie with the poachers who used to set traps and then had to process captured game.

About Buck Knives

Buck Knives, who hasn't heard of them? Founded in 1902 by Hoyt Buck, the brand started out selling handmade knives. Hoyt found a revolutionary way to make steel harder, which made his knives stay sharp even longer. Buck Knives are known for their classic designs, such as the famous Model 110 Folding Hunter, introduced in 1964. This knife established the norm for hunting pocket knives. The company continues to innovate with new materials and technologies, but stays true to tradition. Buck knives are loved by hunters, outdoor enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
