The Mini TrapPER DIEM -- Your Daily Mini Trapper

[jerryd6818]

Received this little gem from a friend recently. I really like the Allegheny Mountain Bone (hard to see in photos but there are a lot of interesting colors in that bone).

Very Nice "Q" Me Likey!! Yes if you save the photo and enlarge it with a photo editor program you can see a lot of subtleties in the edges of the color on the bone. Does the ACK suffix mean "Annual Club Knife"? Nice additon to your 07 family, I'm sure OCD Monkey is soothed for a bit!!

Did you notice the shield? I'm pretty sure CCC stands for Case Collectors Club.so ACK does not stand for..................

Wonderful knife Q. Two are always better than one. Congrats.

Jerry, jealousy manifest itself in many ways.

Does the ACK suffix mean "Annual Club Knife"?

That is correct: ACK = "Annual Club Knife" (I learned that a couple years ago from Ken/Mumbleypeg). Of all the Case Collector Club 07s I have, this 2004 Life Member 6207 is the only one with that tang stamp designation.

Beautiful knives Q!

[QTCut5]

Added a couple more Mini-Ts to my pile this week.

First is this wood (Cocobolo?) handle #51 with pen secondary. Super crisp walk and talk snap on both blades; fit and finish is pure old school Queen par excellence.

Nice pick-ups on the MTs Q..

I put in snipes on a couple of Mini-T's this morning. Won't know until late afternoon & early evening if I got them or not.

Next up is this Queen City Cozy Glen Classic Green Jigged Bone Mini Trapper made in 2005 by Ken Daniels just before he started GEC in 2006.

Only 100 of this knife were ever made and this is my second one which means I now own 2% of the world's total number of this particular pattern.

Wow Q! Those are absolutely beautiful knives! Scales, shields, stamps, what is not to love about them? Some really pretty pieces of cutlery! Awesome Buddy!

Gotta love those slant bolsters!!

That's the reason I bought it. I'm not overly fond of green but this is a shade I can tolerate and then there's those slant bolsters.

Thanks, John.

Wonderful knife Q. Two are always better than one. Congrats.

Merci, Floyd (although, I must caution you against encouraging The Monkey to get duplicate Mini-Ts...we all know where that slippery slope leads to)

Wow Q! Those are absolutely beautiful knives! Scales, shields, stamps, what is not to love about them? Some really pretty pieces of cutlery! Awesome Buddy!

Gracias, Tom. I can only agree with you..."what's not to love?" (although to be honest, the price I had to pay is the one aspect that I have a hard time justifying. But, in 1 year, 5 years, or 10 yrs...will the price really seem like all that much? or will it prove to be a good (GEC type) investment? Only time will tell. I just hope I live long enough to find out! )

Beautiful Mini-T's "Q". Both look spectacular!!

And finally, as with any art form, eventually the boundaries must be pushed and extremes must be examined.

The Mini Trapper is no exception.

Case in point (pun fully intended): FIVE blades !! (Although the lack of a Wharncliffe blade still leaves something to be desired, IMHO. )

I agree on the Wharncliffe blade. One clip would be enough, a Wharncliffe in place of the second one would be grand. In cutlery, there is no such thing as "Profuse".

[jerryd6818]

Sent this back to Case to fix the half-stop "rock" in the spey blade. They fixed it and sent it back. It was only gone about 3 weeks. I'm totally pleased with their service.

This is one I haven't posted so far. Not everyone's cup of tea but I sure like it.

Thanks David. At least someone appreciates it, other than me.

Cool looking Corelon Jerry. You should name that 07...."Austin Powers" Kinda has that Psychedelic Vibe to it.

[jerryd6818]

Austin Powers. Now there's a blast from the past.

Jerry, the tea box at the restaurant usually has several brands and flavors so variety in pocket knives and tea are acceptable. And if you really like it then that makes me like it as well. Always knice to share someone else's joy. I bet it blends in well with its brothers.
