All About Pocket Knives

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.

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.

Beautiful knives friends!

All of those are awesome...toasted or burnt gray bone is on my list now.

Scrolling through the old posts to the GEC Mail thread and came across this. My how things have changed.

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.

I guess that was before I discovered Mini-Trappers.

Ditto for me with this one.
2020 6207 Second Cut Autumn Bone

That is a looker. I'm impatient to see what it looks like when you get it.

~Q~ We are pathetic.

You and me both, jerryd...impatience has always been one of my strongest "virtues"

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.

Not to put too fine of a point on it but I think you nailed it.

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.

6207 Appaloosa Smooth Bone Bunch

NICE Q.. Ya know.. I guess they grow on ya!!!

~Q~ that Appaloosa Smooth Bone is just splendid!! Thanks for showing them.

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.

2006 5207 Stag Blue Scroll

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.

It's here. Finally after being on backorder for what seemed like an eternity.

:p

Very nice Jerry ,the wait looks to be worth it. That cigar band( is that right ?) sure dresses that thing up nice . Thanks for sharing that and stay safe out there.

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.

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.

~Q~ if you have a link to that "Regal Stag", I would certainly appreciate it.

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.

Nice one! I do love me some cigar bands! ! !

...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?
