I recently purchased a 3.5inch shadow trapper by Reese. This has been used/carried and shows marks on the blade and spring. It's a user and I have and will be carrying it. Clip point with a great swedge, ATS-34 blade, excellent action.

That's a fantastic knife. I have a model like that in D-2 and, like you, use and carry it. Enjoy .. and, nice pics.

Thanks John! It's been in my pocket since it arrived. Its going for some custom leather next week.

An edit to the original post: This is a 3inch shadow, not a 3.5inch.

I thought the blade profile and swedge looked kinda off for a 3.5 inch shadow trapper clip. I have a 3 9/16 inch shadow trapper like this from Reese in black/dark green linen micarta. I love carrying and using it -- one heck of a nice knife to work with.

That green Micarta looks like a million bucks.

It is a great knife. I have one of those in a wharncliffe in black micarta. If you ever want it looking pristeen, just call Reese. I am sure he would clean it up for you with a nice fluff and buff....

Enjoy.
