Jim Dunlap - Small Trapper (Mammoth)
Presented here for your consideration is a Small Trapper by acclaimed maker Jim Dunlap—a beautifully executed traditional slip joint that blends classic styling with premium modern materials.
The blade is crafted from CPM-154 steel and finished in a rich hand-rubbed satin, showcasing the attention to detail throughout the piece. The action offers an approximate pull of 4 1/2 to 5 on a 10-point scale, featuring a crisp half-stop and excellent walk-and-talk, sitting flush in all three positions. The rounded, fluted bolster carries a matching satin finish, perfectly complementing the knife’s refined and understated profile. The true highlight, however, is the striking Mammoth scales which exhibit exceptional character, featuring a warm tan base accented by subtle hints of blue and beautiful natural figuring, beautifully paired with a classic keyhole shield for a timeless, elegant presentation.
Brand new and acquired directly from the maker, this is an exceptional example of Jim Dunlap’s craftsmanship and a superb addition to any collection.
