Label removed and cleaned up. I'm happy I bought it.

I picked up this Queen #51 from Lois & Clark's AAPK store. Both blades have excellent walk and talk snap and razor sharp, original factory edges. Really love the genuine WB bone on the older Queens (so much nicer IMO than Delrin WB), it has almost as much individual, unique character as stag...almost! I would say it's similar to Case 6.5 Bone Stag.

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."

Here's one that's a bit unusual with a fully serrated spey blade. Can't say as I've ever seen that on a Mini-T before; a serrated Wharncliffe secondary on the Case 207WHSS 1st Issue Mini-Ts, yes, but never a serrated spey blade. This is also the first Western brand I've added to Mini-T Mountain. At 3¾" it's pushing the upper size limit for a Mini Trapper, but it still qualifies (by 1/8"). The handle is cocobolo wood.

The perfect bread & cheese knife--all it lacks is a corkscrew to be the perfect French picnic knife!

Unfortunately, I have not had very good luck with Bear & Son knives...mostly fit & finish issues which probably wouldn't be a big issue for an EDC user but, for me as a collector, my Mini-Ts are all safe queens for the most part.

Here's the latest to join The Monkey's Mini-T Mountain.

Bertram Cutlery Hen & Rooster 212DS with thick, gnarly Stag handle.
