Re: Ode To The 07
Thanks John. A year ago, I would have told you, "I'm not much on the trapper pattern", but the 07W got under my skin and the other 07's were not far behind. So easy to get hooked on this drug we call knives.

Re: Ode To The 07
Just discovered this in another thread:jerryd6818 wrote:~Q~, any background on those Select knives? How do you tell when they were made? There must have not been a ton of them made because I don't recall seeing any in my wanders. If I did, I didn't notice but maybe it's because I wasn't looking for them.
So, according to that chart, my Bermuda Green SELECT 6207W is a 2001-2003 release.

Re: Ode To The 07
I just noticed that the seller is practically in your backyard; Springfield (or would that be considered your front yard?). Maybe after you win it, you could take a "short hop" right on down HWY 39 to pick it up in person and save yourself the $4.36 shipping fee!jerryd6818 wrote:Thanks ~Q~.

Re: Ode To The 07
I posted this in the Case thread and it just hit me I should probably post it here too.
"A high school graduation gift and "You're in the Army now." gift for my youngest grandson. Yes, I did try to persuade him to join the Corps but as long as he's happy with his decision, I guess I'll have to be happy with it too. He graduates High School on May 23rd and ships for Basic Training June 4th. He's finally going to get that haircut I've been giving him grief about for the past 3-4 years.
Ran the knife over to an old Marine jeweler acquaintance of mine as soon as it showed up. He's going to engrave Jayden's initials on the mark side bottom bolster."
The picture doesn't do it justice. In hand, that Burnt Walnut bone is spectacular.

Re: Ode To The 07
Well done, jerryd. Nice to see the old tradition of passing knives from one generation to another being continued. Hopefully your grandson will appreciate it. Kids nowadays are sometimes hard to figure out. Years ago I gave a very nice knife to my then girlfriend's son as he was going into the Army. He flaked out of Basic Training after only a week. When I asked him about the knife, he just shrugged and claimed that he'd "lost it." Now I wait until someone gets through BT before giving them a knife.jerryd6818 wrote:"A high school graduation gift and "You're in the Army now." gift for my youngest grandson.

Re: Ode To The 07
Well, they can't have them in Basic Training/Boot Camp anyway so you might as well save it until they graduate and have some respect drilled into them. They may not be able to have them at their next assignment. It all depends on the individual base command. I'm fortunate in that this grandson is hard working, polite and respectful. His mother raised him well.

Re: Ode To The 07
Unless/until Case releases another 07W, it looks like this 2014 Antique Rattlesnake Bone 6207W will be the final addition to my mini trapper collection.
I was planning to stop when I reached 50 total, but I think 46 is enough for now. It's been quite a journey.
That's all folks!

Re: Ode To The 07
Q - wow, that's quite a collection !! The mini trapper wharnie's are one of my fave patterns too ... I really like the single blade 107w's - they are slimmer & I find easier to carry with dress pants.
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee

Re: Ode To The 07
I'm not limiting myself to just the Wharncliffe's and yet, I have less than half of your accumulation ~Q~. Oh well, it provides entertainment on an ongoing basis.
The Rough Riders are just a distraction in between Case 07's.

Re: Ode To The 07
The majority of my Mini Ts are Case 07s but not all of them. Here's an interesting group of MTs. Each knife was made by a different company (or under a different trademark name) and are all called "Mini Trappers" by their respective manufacturers. Generally they're pretty similar in size and characteristics but obviously not identical.
From Left to Right:
Parker-Edwards
Moore Maker
Case
Bear MGC
Rough Rider
Schatt & Morgan
Queen
Hen & Rooster
Believe it or not, the best knife of the lot is the Series 1 Schatt & Morgan. Hands down the highest quality build by comparison. The Queen 51T is a close second. These two are living proof that Queen once made very fine cutlery.

Went over to the jewelers and picked up my grandson's graduation gift. He did a fine job. Now I hope my grandson likes it as much as I do.
