Some great stuff here!

Here's what I just got in the mail today.
Schrade Trapper. Ellenville NY USA. Rosewood scales. Nickel silver bolsters.
It's mint. Never used. Super sharp. I know the USA made ones are getting rare, Maybe,
but I really feel I need to put this in my pocket.
... So I WILL!
... Unless you tell me I shouldn't. grin

Use it Tony. Rare, in the case of Schrade means down to the last million! Good all-purpose folder.
Best, Capt. Chris

In my opinion, use it, that is what it is was made for. By using it, you will give the knife character.

If I did choose to pull them out of the safe and carry it would be one of these...

A very nice trapper, Tony. Of course, I'm with Rod smile

I made apple pancakes with mine for the kids today. This is a great slicer and mine has accumulated a lot of "character" by now laugh

Great looking knife, being used as I think it should be.

My SAK get used for everything imaginable. Even my wife asks for it when she has need for it. I had a difficult time using a few of my knives, but once I got over those ideas, I am happy with my decision.

I use my Dowell folder a lot and I carry my RMK Model 21 most days I am out of the house.

Rod,
it is my experience that using the knives adds to their attraction. Most of the ones I don't carry get traded sooner or later but I'll stick to those that have been in my pocket. Around the house or on a journey far away. smile

I understand what you say. My problem is I am a hoarder. I do have a few, that I carry. I think I have only sold 4 RMK, in my life, and I don't think I have ever sold a folder.

So I tend to keep many in reserve, at least that is what I tell my wife!!

I know, Rod, I have the same problem... But I try to carry as many as possible and there are still more than enough left as "reserve" laugh
Well, this is not a museum so the knives are here just for fun - my fun!
