Knife White Tail Trapper Laminated Panels Pakistan ca. 1985

We fondly remember our good old friend, Mr. James Hollis Glover, late of Baldwyn, Mississippi. James Hollis traded with us from shortly after we opened in the 1950s until his untimely death a decade ago. More than any other American, James Hollis was responsible for a massive wave of Pakistani-made pocket knives that fairly saturated the Southern and Midwestern markets during the early 1990s. He even sent his supplier plant managers by to visit us when they were in country. Mr. Glover’s knife brand was White Tail Cutlery, slick made and good looking knives with his trademark inked on the obverse of the main blade and the word Pakistan on the reverse. Laminated Micarta handle panels were as good as anybody’s, even though the steel strength left something to be desired. Here is one of Mr. Glover’s best and most popular creations, a Coke-bottle patterned Trapper made much on the order of the Case 6254 with four brass panel rivets on each side and the Deer Head, White Tail logo on the obverse panel. Bolster, blade, liner, and backspring material are all brushed stainless. Blades are, as the photos show, conventional clip main blade and extended spey or skinner secondary blade. The Clip blade measures 3 3/8 from heel to point, and the spey blade 3 1/2 inches. This knife is mint, and those measurements are factory original. Backspring strength is excellent, and fit and finish is better than other Pakistani knives from the period. The present flood of Chinese made knives, of course, spelled the death knell not only for White Tail Cutlery and Pakistani producers, but also for almost all U.S. Made modestly priced cutlery. That flood is so extensive that resale on China made knives is nil. We will not even pay $1.00 apiece for any of them. We’re offering this fine Pakistani Mississippian specimen, however, for only $ 21.95. By offering to buy any of our knives, buyer certifies that he/she is 21 years of age and is not prohibited by federal, state, or local laws from possessing that specific knife or knives. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Grips, Magazines, slings, holsters, scopes, mounts, parts & most any small light items, entire accessory orders only $10.00 total shipping no matter how many a person buys. $10.00 for an entire order, Not $10.00 per item or anything of the sort. $20 Flat Fee on magazine orders to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, and gun parts to PR civilians must ship to an FFL.
