Our take on the Buck Trapper Knife

The Buck Trapper is a traditional two-blade folding pocket knife with woodgrain handles and nickel silver bolsters. It measures 3 1/2 inches closed and weighs about 70 grams, so it carries easily in a pocket. The 420J2 steel blades take a sharp edge quickly and are backed by Buck's Forever Warranty. At $19.95 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under typical retail for a US-made-style Buck folder.

Questions and answers

Is the Buck Trapper worth it at $19.95?
Yes, if you want a light traditional folder for everyday cutting. At $19.95 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it is near the bottom of its recent price range, and the Forever Warranty adds value.
How does it compare with a modern one-hand opener?
The Trapper opens with a nail notch and has no lock or clip, so it is slower and less convenient than a flipper or thumb-stud knife. It wins on classic looks, low weight and price.
What is the blade steel like?
The blades are 420J2 stainless. It sharpens easily but loses its edge faster than steels like S30V, so plan on touching it up regularly with light use.
What's in the box?
The knife itself, typically with Buck's warranty paperwork. No sheath or sharpener is included.
When is it cheapest?
Prices vary by store. The best new price found was $19.95 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, so compare against the other stores before buying.
