EnZo Trapper 95 O1 Curly Birch

Between my very expensive custom knives and the workhorse Mora blades there is a wide middle ground and the EnZo Trapper is my new favorite. It retains the look & feel of my Scandinavian/Finnish/Nordic knives but with a full tang toughness. It's a knife! It cuts! But beyond that there are things like look and feel, fit and finish, and pleasure to use. The EnZo Trapper fits nicely in all those categories.

The handle scales began to peel away from the blade after one month. It's a pretty knife with a sharp blade. The sheath is great. It's a shame. I am now worried about moisture damaging the portion of the blade that lies under the handle. For the price, I am very disappointed.

Easily one of the best knives in my collection. The pictures are hard wood feather sticks (hickory) but I have battoned and made many feather sticks from different woods.

The EnZo Trapper in 01 steel is a solid, beautiful bushcraft knife. (And if you opt for the kit you can have the pleasure of putting together yourself.) The scandi grind arrives sharp, near razor sharp in my case, though I always expect to do some work on a stone and/or strop before putting the knife to use. The handle is extremely comfortable, though if you have very large hands you may find it too thin to use for prolonged work. There are no hot spots on the handle, though I did take off a bit of steel from the faux finger choil (it's too small to be functional) as it was rather sharp upon arrival.The scandi grind makes woodworking a breeze and produces shavings and feather sticks like it's nothing. With fairly minimal effort I have been able to put a razor sharp edge on the EnZo and the edge is holding well. The bottom line: it's a great value for mid-range bushcrafting knives and is a quality tool.
