Re: Ode To The 07
My Burnt Gray is just a little different as are so many in a run of a particular handle color. I think it has a little more character.
And my Burnt Purple Bone Tribal is an 07W.

Re: Ode To The 07
I'm having a tough time choosing my favorite 2020 07.
.
And then there's the one on back order. Looks like it may be my Christmas present to myself.

Scrolling through the old posts to the GEC Mail thread and came across this. My how things have changed.
I guess that was before I discovered Mini-Trappers.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2014 7:06 pm Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.Post by jerryd6818 » Tue Jan 07, 2014 1:06 pm
Not for me Gus. I prefer the two blade editions. I'm not a fan of Trappers but that Wharncliffe blade, along with that gorgeous toasted Stag, snagged me.

No need to sugarcoat it, jerryd; at this point, I think it's blatantly obvious we're well beyond merely "pathetic," we're irredeemable contemptible despicable degenerates.

I seem to be on an Appaloosa roll lately...Just added another Mini-T to my Appy herd; the Chestnut is my new favorite of the bunch.

Re: Ode To The 07
Thanks guys. The Mini-T Monkey seems to go through phases where he gets fixated on certain knives. Apparently, my current obsession is Appaloosa Bone, but my longest running obsession is Stag (which I don't anticipate ever growing tired of or having enough of).
I'm not sure what other collectors find so special about the blue scroll etching, but for some reason the knives that have it always seem to sell at a premium (red scroll even more so). I finally managed to get a Mini-T with the blue scroll on the blade for my collection...but truth be told, I got it for the stag more than because it has the blue scroll blade etch.
I am curious about the initials (BW & KP) "hidden" in the etch. Anyone happen to know to whom (or to what) they refer? Are they the initials of the designers of the scroll, perhaps? Very unusual.

Re: Ode To The 07
I'm with ya ~Q~. I have a couple (not Mini-Ts) that I bought in spite of the blade etch. IMO it adds nothing to the knife. Different strokes for different folks.

Re: Ode To The 07
Thanks JP. I may be getting hooked on those cigar bands but the passion feels like it may be waning (I hope).
The small Cigar Band Saddle Horn that's coming (should be here tomorrow/Thursday at the latest) may have thrown water on the fire. Only time will tell.

Re: Ode To The 07
jerryd, I'm still not a big fan of the cigar band...yet...but, I have been eyeing the "Regal Stag" model (which has a cigar band on stag covers), and knowing The Monkey, it's just a matter of time before I cave in and get one (since it is stag, after all). And as much as I try to resist, I admit that I am beginning to hear the siren song of Kirinite more and more as well. Your Red Pearl 10207 is certainly not making my resistance any easier; it's definitely a very classy 07. Nice score.

The Red Pearl 10207 is stunning in person. If you finally cave, it's one over which you will harbor no remorse.
This OLIVE GREEN SMALL SADDLEHORN that I should get today can't hold a candle to that Red Pearl Kirinite.

Re: Ode To The 07
...and so it begins...(again)... 
You'd think that having completed the 207WHSS 1st Issue collection, Mini-T Monkey's appetite for 07s would at long-last be satiated; but, then you'd be wrong.
I had hoped that the Mini Trapper Timeline Project would finally achieve total 07 saturation once and for all. Counterintuitively, however, it appears I have once again underestimated Mini-T Monkey's level of addiction (as well as his powers of persuasion!). Well, if they keep coming up for sale...what's a po' Monkey 'posed to do?
