The Lineman Trapper Folding Slipjoint Knife Kit is a compact, multi-blade pocket knife platform designed for craftsmen who want full control over their build from start to finish. Built around a traditional slipjoint mechanism with dual 2.375-inch blades, this kit delivers a reliable foundation for a classic-style trapping folder with modern materials and precision fit components.
At its core, the Lineman Trapper features dual pre-attached stainless steel bolsters, stainless steel liners, and high-performance 440C stainless steel blades that are cryogenically treated for improved edge retention and durability. The 3.50-inch closed-frame design keeps the profile pocket-friendly while still offering a substantial, functional cutting tool when opened to its full 5.50-inch length.
This platform is offered in multiple configurations ranging from parts-only builds for experienced makers to complete combo kits with wood scales or pre-machined handle blanks for faster assembly. Each variation maintains the same core mechanical foundation while allowing customization through different handle materials and build readiness levels.
Ideal for knife makers, hobbyists, and workshop projects, the Lineman Trapper delivers a traditional slipjoint experience with modern consistency and dependable hardware.
