Buck Creek Stag Trapper ~
Buck Creek stag trapper knives originated in Germany for import by Millard Burns of Burns & Company, who started the brand in 1968. The name "Buck Creek" comes from a local Kentucky stream, and the knives were produced in Solingen, Germany to the company's specifications. The trapper pattern itself is a traditional American design featuring a clip point and a spey blade, which became popular for its utility in trapping and other outdoor activities.
- Origin: The Buck Creek brand was established in 1968 to import knives from Solingen, Germany.
- Name: The brand's name was inspired by a stream in Eastern Kentucky, near the company's founder's location in London.
- Knife Pattern: The "Trapper" pattern is a classic American design that typically features two blades: a clip point for general cutting and skinning, and a spey blade with a rounded tip, ideal for tasks like castrating livestock or making precise cuts without puncturing.
- Stag Handles: Many Buck Creek knives, including trappers, were made with genuine stag or antler handles, which are often brown and white, adding a collectible and elegant element to the knife.
