Thank you Floyd.

Tom, Dan, Skip, Ivoryman...all beautiful matching pairs.

Here's my latest matching pair: Queen Steel #51 Genuine Winterbottom Bone Mini Trappers from 1958-60 & 1961-71

Thanks Q, and may I say what some fine groovy bones you have on that pair. Wooooowwwwee.

Thank you QTCut5.
You posted a pair of BEAUTIES yourself.

Skip, I-Man, and QTCut5: all great pairs. Those two might satiate the Mini-Trapper Monkey for a while!

You may indeed, Ivoryman. Thanx for the positive comment (and also for encouraging Mini-T Monkey to continue his handbasket ride into...well...bankruptcy. Oh Yeah...thanks a lot, buddy!)

Appreciate the feedback, Skip.

Dan, I would like to believe you are correct, I really would (and so would my wife, for that matter)...but, unfortunately, it seems you do not fully comprehend The Monkey's insatiable appetite for Mini Trappers. In fact, based on my knife collecting experience over the past 30+ years, the word "satiate" is not even in OCD Monkey's vocabulary.

I understand a little better now. About 15 years ago, I had the Hot Wheels Monkey on my back. That little bird is gone now, and not at all missed. A Monkey who listed his previous occupation as "Trapper" recently came into my life. We were forced to part ways, and the parting was amicable...however, he did introduce me to a friend who lists his previous occupation as "Stockman." Fortunately, he's got a small appetite.

OK then...I stand corrected; You DO understand the OCD Mini-T Monkey that lives on my back and whispers/chatters/screeches incessantly into my ear(s).
Thank you...always good to know that the company I keep is sympathetic to my proclivities (but, isn't that also known as "enabling" ?) .

Oh, the excuses we make up for our obsessions. I know them well.

Another pair, this time Mini Copperheads.

Some,"different" matching pairs:
#1 A pair of camel riding crops from Egypt with concealed daggers inside and the handle of stone carved in the shape of the goddess Nefertiti.
#2 A pair of swords made entirely of water buffalo horn from the Philippines.
#3 through #5 A pair of daggers with water buffalo horn handles with wooden sheaths cut out to show the image of a face.Possibly from India.

Love the Mini-Coppers, Dan...especially the 109W...that was the pattern that first got me hooked on Wharncliffe blades.

Dude...the stuff you continually come up with is nothing short of amazing. If you don't open a knife museum to display your incredibly diverse and fascinating cutlery collection before you leave this terrestrial realm, the world will have lost a national treasure indeed.

Excellent. Thanks for the kind words!

Very different, and very neat. I, too, hope you'll open up a knife museum someday.

A pair of large spear point George Schrade wirejacks.

A pair of Buck 112's.

I'm waiting on a Buck 112. Ordered on Wednesday and stuck in pre-shipment since! Hope its status will change soon and I won't feel compelled to let the vendor know I'm slightly perturbed.

Nice Buck 112s, easy-openers, and wirejacks, gents!

Good choice, Dan. If you have experience with the 112 then you already know but if this is your first one you will be impressed. I can't wait to see your pics. I hope you get it soon.

I went with the orange GFN. It's one that has a pocket clip and thumb studs. Some folks don't care for that pocket clip, but I'm not a fan of factory sheaths. My biggest concern is that my luck with thumb studs has been hit-and-miss. If that one does well for itself, I'll plunk down for a G-10 or Micarta version eventually.

I'm looking forward to your thoughts on that variant as I haven't tried the one hand openers yet.

I'm not a fan of the leather sheaths but I do like this one. It's hard to find a nylon sheath with a snap closure let alone one that fits the knife I want to use it with.

This one is made by Buck specifically for the 112 if the need should ever present itself. They are $10 each on the Buck website and can be mounted horizontally or vertically.

I'll be happy to share them.
