Frontier Trapper

Trapper, Trapping Knife, Lucas Forge, Custom Hunting Knives, Belt Knife, Handmade Knives

The Frontier Trapper has a clean, classic profile reminiscent of a small trade knife from the mountain man days. The blade comes to a smart tip – an advantage for getting in close on detailed game processing and bushcrafting projects.

  • The Trapper is approximately 7 5/8 inches overall, with its 3 5/8-inch blade.
  • Made out of rough-and-ready 1/8-inch thick, O-1 high carbon tool steel.
  • Comes standard with the amazing aged blade finish, with additional upgrade options for the hammer forged finish or satin finish.
  • Also comes standard with two classy brass pins and a lanyard hole, with the option to step it up to mosaic pins.
  •  Available in many, many custom handle choices! Your choice. The handle shown above is aged osage.
  • Comes with the signature Lucas Forge handmade leather sheath. Sorry, Trekkers are not available for the Trapper.

Frontier Trapper base price is $195.
