The Roper Double Action Trapper has satin 1065 carbon steel clip and spey blades in a white smooth bone handle with nickel silver bolsters, closing to 4.25 inches.
White smooth bone is the brightest handle in the traditional range and the least forgiving. Polished flat rather than jigged, it shows every mark and the grain beneath, where a coffee brown or jigged handle hides both. That makes it a display choice as much as a working one, and collectors tend to buy white bone for the contrast against a darkening carbon blade.
1065 carbon steel takes a keener edge than stainless and develops a patina with use, which grows more visible against pale bone than dark. Both blades lock rather than resting on spring tension, unusual on a traditional two-blade pattern. Explore more Trapper Knives.
