Yes, in spite of his denial and all evidence to the contrary, I suspect Skip may be trying corner the 72 market as well. I don't keep a running tally on other peoples' knives (except for their Mini Trappers, of course) so I have no way to know for sure and could be mistaken; but, based on what I've observed, I think he may still have a ways to go to catch up to jerryd, Floyd and Smitty in the 72 department (although we all know it's not a race or competition). I thought I had it bad with just two OCD Monkeys on my back (Mini-T Monkey and Wharncliffe Monkey); but, apparently, Skip is a man with so many interests (i.e., obsessions), the poor guy must have an entire troop of OCD Monkeys riding on his back. ::uc:: :shock:

Case Crimson bone is some of the best looking handle material out there.
I wish they made more patterns with it.

For today's Mini TrapPER DIEM I present this little (3 3/8" closed) Parker Cutlery Co. IMO the made-in-Japan Parker knives are the best made knives under the Parker brand name. And, they're amazingly inexpensive, too. :)

Continuing with the Stag theme...here's a 1991 Stag Keen Kutter (which is actually a Bear MGC, I believe). The Toasted Fat Stag on this Mini-T is quite different from the gnarly stag on the Hen & Rooster, but it still has a certain appeal of its own.

Mahalo amigos (including all of you who I didn't tag). :D

Although I've previously posted this one in other threads on different forums, I feel dutybound to future generations of Mini-T collecting/curious AAPK members (as well as current members too, of course) to post it on this thread as well since it is a Mini Trapper, after all. The thing that sets this Mini-T apart and makes it a bit more exotic, unique and one-of-a-kind is the modification from a basic factory knife into a semi-custom knife, i.e., there's not another one exactly like it on the entire planet.

2002 Case 6107W Custom Mod w/mosaic pins, handle material unknown...possibly interior elephant ivory based on handle color and the cracks in mark side cover that are typical of E. ivory. Apart from that, although it looks and feels very much like ivory, I can detect no discernable grain that would convince me it actually is ivory. More likely it's a very nice faux ivory (probably acrylic). But, as we in the OCD Knife Collectors Community are fond of saying: "I knows what I likes/wants when I sees it."

Yep.... saw it on another post. Very Elegant and what's not to like about the wharncliffe blade? I like the file work. Not toooo elaborate but subtle and classy. Overall I say you have a beauty there "Q"
