Notice that the frame on this one is straight, i.e., lacks the graceful curves of most traditional Mini Trappers. The handle is wood with a geometric/rectangular waffle jig pattern, which is also uncommon.

As Porky Pig says, "Th-th-That's all, Folks!

Fortune smiled upon me, however, when I happened to win the eBay auction on this Hen & Rooster 212DS quite by accident for a relative pittance (I put in a low bid then forgot all about it and, miracle of miracles, I ended up winning ). Hopefully now The Monkey can finally relax for awhile and just enjoy the massive pile of Mini-Ts he's accumulated that make up Mini-T Mountain.

Both knives are new in the box, they have been handled, But don't appear to have been used or carried. In the first photo, The top one is a 2011 6207W with the Wharncliffe blade. It has the Sawcut Amber Bone handles with the Embossed or raised Case shield. The lower knife is a 2012 6207 Mini-Trapper with Smooth Chestnut Bone handles and has small Script Long Tail "C" Case shield. Both knives have excellent snap on both blades.

Two beauties, Smitty...of course, I especially like the sawcut 07W. Great double score!

QTCut5 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 9:45 pm Smitty, apparently you're somewhat of a prophet since your prediction came true: Mini-T Monkey made it almost an entire month without buying a new Mini Trapper. Although, to be fair, based on his purchasing history, a month is actually a pretty long time for The Monkey to go without picking up a new Mini-T.

Nothing special about this Parker really...except perhaps the unusual combination of jigged bone on the mark side and smooth bone on the pile side. And, it has only a single (engraved Damascus) blade...so, probably not "officially" a trapper per se.

Anyway, whatever you call it, it conforms to the size & shape of a mini trapper, so I'm posting it here.
