Product Description
Hailed for its slim profile, ease of carry, and utility, Brad Zinker’s Urban Trapper is one of the most popular knives in the EDC community. While it’s been recreated with many materials, never before has it been crafted with linen micarta scales like the ones found on this version: a combination of black and red with a demonic look Read More
I’m not an expert on knives but the design is nice and the handle feels good in my hands. Clip is nice and easy to put on and take off. I’ve owned trashy convenience store knives that feel flimsy but this one was definitely worth the cost
Don't get me wrong, I don't know scrap about knife collecting. I just know that it has a nice feel in the hand- good weight and texturing- and it's easy to deploy, retract, and stow. Easy EDC for me.
I love the Urban Trapper knives. They are a lot of knife in a slim package. I would like to see more of them in a steel besides VG-10, but it is a pretty good steel. I like stonewashed blades better because the black coating comes off knives with use. Micarta is my favorite handle material, it has a warmth in the had not found in G10 or Carbon fiber.
The Urban Trapper is arguably one of the best EDC knives around for less than $100. I picked this one up because the pattern on the scales looks like an end cut composite of some kind -- G-10 or Micarta, something.
I'm fully pleased with the knife I got -- it's got a badass set of bearings on it, it's got great action, it's got great steel, it's nice and sharp and light and wicked and I pocket it but I think the scale is molded in color, not black and red end cut composites showing a pile effect like I thought. I don't really mind because it still looks nice and it's a good knife, and it wasn't advertised as having scales that were cut across the grain anyway -- but the texture is way too smooth and uniform for an end cut composite. The upside is, it's probably stronger this way -- you gotta figure the end cut scales can crack along the plane of the fabric a lot easier when it's end on.

It feels a lot more like G-10 in the hand than Micarta; it was advertised as Micarta, but technically that's correct as the term Micarta actually encompasses a huge range of composites, including G-10 -- and carbon fiber as well. Fun bit of trivia to stump your friends, all G-10 is Micarta but not all Micarta is G-10.
