Ode To The 07
Re: Ode To The 07
Snagged another 207WHSS 1st Issue plain edge Wharncliffe Mini Trapper. Except for the Blue Bone, this is the only other color I have seen from the set that has a serial number (my other two Yellow 207WHSS do not have a s/n).

Re: Ode To The 07
Here's a 2002 6107W custom mod with fancy filework on the back spring, blade spine, liners and inside the blade channel. Not sure what the handle material is...it looks like it could be ivory, but hard to tell for sure, so it's probably some type of faux ivory acrylic . Instead of a shield it has mosaic pins which give it a "dressy" look, IMHO...perfect for a little Sunday-go-to-meeting knife.

John/jmh58 inspired my latest 07 pick-up when he showed a similar one from his collection awhile back. Once The Monkey saw John's, I knew I would have no peace until Mini-T Monkey had one grasped firmly in his greedy little monkey paws. Thanks a lot, John...I owe you one, buddy!

Re: Ode To The 07
Muchas Gracias, Smitty, John and jerryd.
A bit of 07 trivia: I had previously thought that the Blue 207WHSS (plain edge Wharncliffe) was the only 1st Issue 07 model that was graced with a serial number. Then, I discovered (and bought) a Yellow 207WHSS 1st Issue that has a serial number (see photos above). Recently, on eBay, I discovered this Greenbone 207WHSS that also has a serial number (I didn't buy it because I already have one).
I'm showing it here for the benefit of future 07 collectors and to add to the database of 07 history.

Re: Ode To The 07
Getting harder and harder to find 07s with decent stag it seems...well, maybe not harder to find, just harder to afford since everyone and their cousin seems to want stag and are apparently willing to pay beaucoup bucks for it...and rightly so...I know I am whenever I can find stag I really like...such as is on this Red Stag R5207 Mini-T from 2008.

Knice stag on both sides.
Re: Ode To The 07
Thanks, guys. Appreciate the comments.
For my next number, I present this 2014 Paua Abalone 8207 that I won quite by accident (put in a bid that I thought for sure would get quickly outbid...but, amazingly, it didn't and I ended up winning). Of course, that NEVER happens with a knife I really really want.
I already have an 8207 Abalone Mini-T so The Monkey was just bored and bidding for ships & giggles (hey, sometimes you've got to create your own entertainment however you can!)...and now I have two!
Bad Monkey, no banana for you!

Hey, if you see something you like, just let me know...I will always give my AAPK brothers a good deal and, honestly, I'd much rather sell to AAPK members in order to keep my knives in "the family."
FWIW--I'm not looking to make a profit off any of these 07s, in fact, I don't really even mind taking a loss (truth be told, I expect to lose some amount of money whenever I sell knives...it's much less stressful that way), mostly I just need to clear out some storage space for The Monkey's latest obsession.
