Roper Lockback Trapper Brown Bone Folding Knife

Description

The Roper Lockback Trapper pairs a satin-finished 1065 carbon steel clip blade with a brown jigged bone handle, stainless bolsters and an inlay shield, closing to 4.13 inches, with a pocket clip.

Building a trapper as a single-blade lockback is a departure. The traditional pattern carries clip and spey blades on a slip joint, so dropping to one locking blade trades versatility for security and a slimmer frame. 1065 carbon steel takes a keener edge than stainless and resharpens with less effort, developing a patina that most owners of a carbon traditional treat as part of the knife.

A pocket clip is another modern addition to a traditional pattern, keeping the knife riding high rather than sitting loose in a pocket. Brown jigged bone gives grip where a smooth surface turns slick, and the grain varies from piece to piece. It’s a fitting choice for anyone who wants the trapper’s classic look with a locking blade and a clip.
