The Mini TrapPER DIEM -- Your Daily Mini Trapper

[QTCut5]

This one came to stay with me yesterday. It's nothing special but it fattens up the pile.

Ah, the ubiquitous Amber Bone 6207...a genuine "classic" I actually prefer the Amber Bone with equal parts Amber & White Bone, like the one you got, because it reminds me of caramel syrup drizzled on vanilla ice-cream!

Nice score, jerryd...not only does it "fatten up the pile" (although probably not as much as a big bowl of caramel-topped ice-cream would ), but it enhances and beautifies it as well.

Ahh, spoken like a true addict (of caramel-topped ice-cream).

Those bbq pringles are my personal downfall, and Queen trappers...

And speaking of Queen Trappers...

My most recent Mini Trapper acquisition is this Queen #51 with Cocobolo Wood handle:

For someone who took a long time to warm up to wooden knife handles, I sure seem to be adding an awful lot of them to my Mini-T pile lately.
(I guess you could say they're growing on me!)

Like the wood on that Queen Q!!

Very lovely wood.

[QTCut5]

Mahalo, John, Smitty & Floyd. Always appreciate your positive comments (I really need to be better at leaving positive comments for others...you guys all set a great example).

~Q~ I'm not normally much on wood handles but that's some great grain in those handles.

A beautiful knife. Proving wood handles can be awesome if the wood used is quality and not a recycled peach crate.

Here's a really special Mini-Trapper that I received as a bomb from my Mini-T partner in crime (I think). A BIG MAHALO to you, my friend.

Smith & Wesson Jigged Gray-Green Bone, SEKI, Japan, AUS-6 steel.

[jerryd6818]

That one's a real beauty ~Q~. Congratulations.

I've posted this one but not here, sooooo............... It was the horseshoe shield that reeled me in.

[tvic]

I’ve got that same Smith & Wesson, Q, except mine is the full-size trapper.

That’s a beauty, Jerry!

This one was a gift for Fathers Day - Caribbean Blue Bone.

Awesome looking Mini-T "Q". The color of the handles really looks good.

Still love the horseshoe shield. A good luck knife for sure.

That's some deep Caribbean Blue right there.

It's the bone that gets this squid Jerry. Do love me some pocketworn chestnut...

Here's one you don't see too often (1 of 100):

2006 Schatt & Morgan 022151 Smooth Brown Bone

[jmh58]

Q - love cocobolo ... smells really sweet when its cut & sanded. Super heavy - probably the heaviest wood I've ever worked with ... pretty too ! That trapper has above average grain

[QTCut5]

Here's yet another uncommon one that I happened to stumble upon while surfing the Bay:

1993 Queen RI1 Single Blade Mini Trapper in Ruby Red Acrylic
Closed length = 3⅜"

(I don't know what the "RI1" etched on the blade stands for..."Red Ice" perhaps? )

[treefarmer]

There’s something about a red pocketknife!
Good catch, Q.

Thanks Philip...I was hoping you would know what the "RI1" etched on the blade stands for.

[treefarmer]

Q, on page 24 of the Queen catalog for 1995, there is an explanation that I believe probably covers your knife. It is called Red Ice. The 1st knife on that page is called RI-1 - Small Trapper.
I do believe that's your pretty red prize!
Treefarmer

[QTCut5]

Right On! I nailed it.

Mahalo for the confirming research, my friend, I knew I could count on you.
