Trapper pocket knives: from hunters and poachers to your pocket

Trapper pocket knives have been used by hunters and poachers for a very long time. The name comes from the word: trap. Someone who sets traps is sometimes also called a trapper, like the knife he is carrying in his pocket. Trapper knives can be enhanced with one or multiple blades.

The handle often follows the curve of the hand and is, therefore, not straight. If a Trapper traditional has been enhanced with two or more blades they always emerge from the same side of the handle. Trappers come in many sizes. From the Mini Trapper to the Large Trapper and everything in between.
