What does DR mean
I bought a Mini-Trapper that has red bone handles. The spey blade is stamped as seen below. I went to the Case research section and the knife doesn't even come close to matching the DR in the list (also shown below) nor the D, nor the R. So what does DR mean for this knife? I assumed the R stood for red but the D has me stumped.

Re: What does DR mean
Scarlet? or Smooth Rose? 
Research section says "Smooth" (but IMHO Scarlet makes more sense)
This is the kind of trivia that gives OCD Monkey migraines.

Re: What does DR mean
Here's another example that through me for a loop when I got the knife in 2008. I didn't know what the TH stood for but thanks to Case's re-release of the pattern, I know now.

They sneak these things in on us from time to time. This one had me stumped for over a decade until they brought the pattern back earlier this year and I saw the SHC description.

Re: What does DR mean
Yep...that one threw me as well. I eventually got the correct answer from right here on AAPK...the best source for pocket knife info in the known Universe.

Holy cats! There's a Billy Blue Ton of those little fellers. Reckon they sell very many of them? Little knives (less than 3") don't seem to sell well.
