Yes, in spite of his denial and all evidence to the contrary, I suspect Skip may be trying corner the 72 market as well. I don't keep a running tally on other peoples' knives (except for their Mini Trappers, of course) so I have no way to know for sure and could be mistaken; but, based on what I've observed, I think he may still have a ways to go to catch up to jerryd, Floyd and Smitty in the 72 department (although we all know it's not a race or competition). I thought I had it bad with just two OCD Monkeys on my back (Mini-T Monkey and Wharncliffe Monkey); but, apparently, Skip is a man with so many interests (i.e., obsessions), the poor guy must have an entire troop of OCD Monkeys riding on his back.

Hey.....at least I'm in good company. I feel privileged to be included in this list. Oh and "Q", I don't have any OCD Monkeys, You know Mine are all OCD Froggys.

Mahalo amigos (including all of you who I didn't tag).

Although I've previously posted this one in other threads on different forums, I feel dutybound to future generations of Mini-T collecting/curious AAPK members (as well as current members too, of course) to post it on this thread as well since it is a Mini Trapper, after all. The thing that sets this Mini-T apart and makes it a bit more exotic, unique and one-of-a-kind is the modification from a basic factory knife into a semi-custom knife, i.e., there's not another one exactly like it on the entire planet.

2002 Case 6107W Custom Mod w/mosaic pins, handle material unknown...possibly interior elephant ivory based on handle color and the cracks in mark side cover that are typical of E. ivory. Apart from that, although it looks and feels very much like ivory, I can detect no discernable grain that would convince me it actually is ivory. More likely it's a very nice faux ivory (probably acrylic). But, as we in the OCD Knife Collectors Community are fond of saying: "I knows what I likes/wants when I sees it."
