The Mini TrapPER DIEM -- Your Daily Mini Trapper

[TPK]

Jerryd's command is my wish, so on to bigger and better things we go.

Yesterday I showed the Swamp Beast; for today's Mini-T allow me to present this Abalone Beauty. (Beauty & the Beast)

WARNING: If you stare at this 8207 for too long, you run the risk of being mesmerized and/or subsumed into a hypnotic psychedelic vortex. (which, BTW, is not necessarily a bad thing!)

Absolutely Breathtaking Q!

[jerryd6818]

I would love to have one in Abalone but the tariff is just too stiff for me. (Such is life ) Beautiful knife. Just absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful knife. Although once I was showing a friend of mine a abalone handled knife and he said it looked like the result if Walt Disney Threw up.

Coming down to the finish line with.................
Thanks again to ~Q~ for letting this go.
Someone speculated on the number of hearts on the knife handles. It's 21, 22 if you count the heart engraved on the bolster.

[QTCut5]

What is this "finish line" of which you speak?

I'm glad you like the Hearts Mini-T, jerryd...because I sure do like this Mint Set Barn Board 07 that I purchased with the proceeds from the sale.

Congrats on your new acquisition. I think the Burnt Barn Board looks good in natural and in certain colors. Good Choice.

Flavor of the Day: Vanilla--with a cherry on top

Mine is just 1 of 3000 and the bolsters are not embellished but it's a mighty fine knife in spite of that.

Fini
For now, it's the End Of The Trail for my Mini-Trappers. I don't have any more that I haven't posted.
This is the last one for now and it's only appropriate that I wrap up this session with one that ~Q~ so generously gifted to me. Thank you Compadre.

If I had to choose one favorite out of all the 207Ws in my collection, I think it would have to be the 2013 Brick Red SELECT because not only is it a "SELECT", but, apparently it's as scarce as hen's teeth.

In the seven years since its release, I have seen only two come up for sale (on eBay) and I bought both of them; one I kept (of course) and the other one made its way to the Midwest where it now resides in the home of the highly esteemed legendary collector/accumulator, jerryd.

Because it's such a rare beast, I think it's appropriate to ignore the Mini TrapPER DIEM rule of posting only one (1) Mini-T per diem and show the only other Brick Red SELECT 07W known to exist in the entire world (although it's suspected that others must surely exist, just like the coelacanths, they've never been seen or photographed).

[jerryd6818]

~Q~ I'm very appreciative of that gift. I had no idea they were so scarce. I owe ya buddy.

[bighomer]

Hey I got one, don't measure up to the fine knives yawl are showing but it's a mini.

[jerryd6818]

Congrats. Whadda ya think of it? Or is it too soon to tell?

Whoa........I don't believe I've ever seen the Brick Red scales. Very Nice Q.

Nice BigHomer, there's just something about red bone,

[QTCut5]

Thanks, Papa B. (when you gonna show us your Mini-Ts?)

Ah, the RR lock back Mini-T...a pretty decent little knife, actually...and it has that cool back lock (master clip blade only).

But, if I'm honest, I bought this one mainly for the battle axe shield.

That makes two of us. Great minds think alike.

[bighomer]

It's called black cherry smooth bone, it like all rough ryder's a great little knife for the money. $9.99 @ old smokey. I really like that shield wish they had one when I bought this one, I'd bought it.

[jerryd6818]

I just discovered I do have one for today.

[QTCut5]

I am a huge fan of the stripped-down, no-frills, minimalist look of smooth natural/white bone with no shield, engraving or embellishment of any sort. Very clean...very basic.

For comparison: Smooth Natural Bone with bomb shield

[Papa Bones]

Thanks, Papa B. (when you gonna show us your Mini-Ts?)

O.K. "Q", since you called me out.

Glad I could contribute

A Case 1990 6207

[QTCut5]

Nice one, Smitty. I actually just remembered that you already showed a couple of your Mini-Ts over on the "Ode To The 07" thread. Fortunately, us hardcore Mini Trapperists appreciate an encore and never tire of looking at Mini-Ts over and over (which would explain why there are two separate active Mini Trapper threads).

[jerryd6818]

Since I tend to concentrate on the Case Mini-T's (there are more of them which makes for easy pickin's), I forgot all about this Pacific Rim Roper.
Note it's marked PRC instead of just China. That's the first time I've seen that marking.

Nice deep emerald green bone on that one. Yep, I've noticed a few of the China made knives have got to the PRC stamp.
