A Look at the Frontier Trapper

Lucas Forge Posted on April 20, 2021 by Lucas ForgeMay 18, 2021

Trapper, Trapper Knife, Custom Hunting Knife, Lucas Forge, Custom Belt KnifeHave you seen the Trapper? It’s part of the Frontier series…a sleek, versatile knife, with a mid-range size that’s ideal for everyday carry and a smart point to help with the most precise cutting tasks.

The Trapper is approximately 7 5/8 inches overall, with a 3 5/8-inch, O-1 high carbon steel blade. The blade comes ready to go, with a beautiful aged finish, or it can be switched up with a fine, polished satin blade finish…or even a hammer-forged finish for an extra rugged look! You also have the option of adding filework along the spine (as seen here!) for more grip and style.

The Trapper has a combination of two brass pins and a brass lanyard hole as the standard hardware. Or, if you’re looking to fancy it up a bit, the upgrade for 3/16″ mosaic pins also looks mighty nice.

As with all Lucas Forge models, the handle for your own custom Trapper is up to you! There’s a wide variety of handle choices, ready to be selected from. Olive green micarta (as seen in our example here!) is a great choice if you expect to regularly use your knife around water or grimy situations. Trappers also really look sharp when paired with with well-grained or dark woods for a very fancy style.

Each Trapper comes with a signature Lucas Forge leather sheath!

Don’t miss the Frontier page for lots of example photos! Have questions about the Trapper? Shoot them to lucas@customhuntingknives.org. Thank you!
