The Buck 382 Trapper is a classic trapper-pattern folding knife — a long clip blade for general cutting and a flat spey blade for skinning and dressing, both in 420J2 stainless steel, both held open with a slipjoint mechanism. The handle is a woodgrain-inlay panel between polished nickel-silver bolsters, and at 2.6 ounces the knife carries with the heft of a working pocket tool.
The trapper pattern earned its name on the trap line — clip blade for cordage and field tasks, spey blade for skinning game, two distinct edge geometries in one folder. Modern users carry it for everyday work, fishing trips, garden cutting, and any task where having two specialized blades beats compromising on one.
Buck Knives has been making American folding knives since 1902 and produces the 382 Trapper at its Post Falls, Idaho factory. The Forever Warranty backs every blade against material and workmanship defects.
