Ode To The 07

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Still ain't seen nuthin', jerryd (well, I have but the other loyal 07 fans here haven't)...I know you got 'em, so quit pussyfootin' around and get 'em posted or I'll be forced to take drastic measures and do it for you (and considering my lack of basic computer skills, trust me, nobody wants to see how badly I can mangle that operation--it would just be too embarrassing).

Meanwhile, during the intermission, I discovered this little Mediterranean Blue 07W sittin' in the corner all by his lonesome for an entire week with no bidders. So, I did the only sane and humane thing possible, I bought it. Immediately after which, I started kicking myself for buying yet another duplicate of one I already had...or so I thought. Turns out I did not have a Smooth Med. Blue Bone 6207W after all, just a Jigged Med. Blue Bone 6107W. Close call. If I had let this one get away I would've been kicking myself for real.

Yeah, well ask my pocketbook how well done that was. ::facepalm:: It is a beauty though.

I took your PM and ran with it. Made the seller an offer and it was snapped up in a minute so I paid too much but it's not my first time. Looking forward to getting it next week (I hope).

A perfect example that it doesn't have to be a Case to be a great Mini-Trapper. Excellent knife you lucky duck.

Exactly which "edge" are you referring to, Greg...the one that ends in reckless financial ruin or the one that leads to permanent involuntary confinement in a psychiatric detention ward? I'm curious because whenever I look at that Tony Bose Antique Bone Mini Trapper I think I may be teetering on one or both of those precipices myself. As I have repeatedly acknowledged...when it comes to Wharncliffe Mini Trappers, price is no obstacle and resistance is futile.

Q I was speaking of the edge that ends In reckless financial ruin as i have already been informed that i have long since passed the point where medical psychiatric detention was required. So now this baby is on the way and i need to go to work. :D

Well, Grag, that Tony Bose Swing Guard Cokebottle should be more than enough to get you started (or continue, as the case be be) on the path to the poor house; adding a TB Mini T should just about seal your fate irreversibly. Good luck with your quest. On a positive note, those knives should come in handy for killing & cleaning the cell rats and other assorted vermin you will need to capture, dress and consume in order to supplement the once daily meal allotment of thin watery gruel and crust of stale black bread. But I'm sure it will be worth it.
