The Mini TrapPER DIEM -- Your Daily Mini Trapper

[QTCut5]

I got this 107W, that you may recognize

Looks right at home in your flower garden, Kevin

At first glance I thought it was my old Antique Bone S/N 055 (max magnification to see S/N on blade just above the tang):

But after closer inspection I realized it was my old Persimmon Bone S/N 031:

Always enjoy visiting with my old Mini-T friends who have left home to seek their fortunes elsewhere

I really love my Queen Mini Trappers but I wish they had made more with stag handles. For some reason Queen didn't put stag on very many Mini-Ts; I've seen it used more on the smaller #9155 pattern than the standard 3½" pattern #51, but still not even very many of those either. In fact, this #51 SFO for the Smoky Mountain Viewers Club is the only Queen #51 I've ever seen with a stag handle (not counting the one released under the Schatt & Morgan brand name, which I'll show next ). I wonder if that's because Case bought up all the stag? (Case released a ton of stag-handled 07s)

If not for the Smoky Mountain Viewers Club requisitioning a Queen Stag #51 no such model would exist and the world would be a sadder, lonelier, emptier place as a result Just think, all it took to make the world a better place was 150 Queen #51 Stag Mini-Trappers specially factory ordered for an obscure TV shopping channel By small and simple things are great things brought to pass.....Never underestimate the power of small things to make a big difference.

Now, go forth and share some love and change the world today.....let the Queen Stag #51 Mini-T be your guide

Beautiful Stag Queen Mini-T and interesting story, Q.

As requested by the Mini-T Master himself, I am posting this Case USA era Reddish Bone Mini-T. This is one of my prized Mini-Ts, not so much for it's beauty and desirability, but more for the fact that it has a layer of QTCut & Ivoryman DNA on it.

Not to mention the fact that it was made in 1965-'69.....yeah, 1965 was a pretty good year for many reasons

Oh, and, BTW.....I bought that USA era Mini-T from knifeaholic, so you can add Steve Pfeifer's name to the list of co-conspirators with traces of DNA on that knife

10 dot Lightning. Any interest. PM me. J.O'.

Great info to add to the wonderful history of this knife, Q! Unfortunately, as much as I love this Mini-T and the history that goes with it, I don't foresee us adding any additional DNA as long as I'm still around.

This 2002 Schatt & Morgan 032151 Stag Mini Trapper is one of my more unique Mini-Ts and only the second Queen made 3½" Mini Trapper I have ever seen with Stag handle scales. Like the first one I posted earlier it's also a SFO but instead of being etched on the blade, the requisitioning concern, C&W, is stamped on the master clip blade pile side tang inside a double diamond--very classy! Master Clip blade is etched with the S&M logo and both blades are also tang-stamped with the S&M logo on the mark side and have full double-sided swages. The pile side of the secondary Spay blade is etched with the Queen/S&M model number, 032151, and has the date, 2002, stamped on the tang. The Bar Shield is the chef's kiss on this gorgeous creation. C&W spared no expense with this SFO and gave it all the bells and whistles.

Love the bar shield on the stag.

I haven't seen too many S&M Stag 51s, but that is by far the nicest of the few I've seen. Love the swages on both blades and that Stag is gorgeous!
