Description

The Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute #73 Scout Trapper is a traditional design pocket knife and it is just waiting to occupy your pocket. It is a medium to large-sized pocket knife featuring a two 1095 carbon steel blades, African Rosewood handle scales and a nickel silver bolster. Many consider the size of the Scout Trapper to be "just right" as it is large enough to handle tasks such as cutting large rope yet small enough to easily carry and do finer cutting tasks. It makes a great general purpose, gentleman's fine pocket knife. Made with pride in Titusville, PA. We are an authorized Great Eastern Cutlery Dealer and purchased this new knife direct from them.

The Blade(s):

The #73 Scout Trapper features two 1095 steel blades, one with a drop point and the other is a spey blade. This combination allows the knife to be quite versatile whether using it for piercing, slicing, skinning or utility purposes. Both blades have cutting edges of 2.785" and nail nicks for opening. The blades have a satin finish. When deployed, the blades have a pronounced half stop and once past the half stop, they snap solidly into the fully deployed position.

The Handle Construction:

The handle size allows for a solid four finger hold for most people. The handle scales are African Rosewood and the attaching pins and liners are brass. The bolster and "TIDIOUTE" inlay shield are polished nickel silver giving the knife a classy look. The handle scale edges are rounded and flush with the outside perimeter making the knife pleasant to hold. The fit and finish are excellent and the blade action is crisp when opening and closing.
