I'm just now getting around to catching up on all the pages. I was going to ask you about the size of the kick and girth of the blade, but you explained it. Thanks for pointing those out. I am still learning on the older years.

The final piece (for now) of my Appaloosa Smooth Bone collection:
Gotta love Appaloosa Bone!!

Although I really don't like the width of the 3-blade Mini-T, I decided to get this one because I am fond of the Antique Rattlesnake bone handle (and the Wharncliffe blade, too, of course). This is the only 6307W in my collection.
I was going to say, "Besides the bone, I knew the Wharncliffe blade threw an itch on the MT Monkey!!"

Gee thanks ~Q~. Another Unicorn to chase.
jerryd, if you happen to find and get one before I do...I will personally fly to Rockford and pry it out of your cold, dead Mini-T grasp.
(For you folks watching at home, I repeat...this is NOT a competition! But when it comes to Peacock Appaloosa...well...all bets are off.

You and me both, Smitty...in fact, I just bought another Greenbone 6207 which, upon closer inspection, I am finding somewhat "suspicious"...stay tuned for photos and updates (if I'm not too embarrassed

to admit a possible rookie mistake

). The learning curve combined with The Monkey's eager enthusiasm is a veritable
spark in the sea of counterfeit
dynamite.

When you find them, jerryd, you know who to call...just name your price.
In the meanwhile time...
This was supposed to be my Christmas present to myself...ordered it way back in late October but it just now arrived. I was seeing this model showing up on eBay, so I called Shepherd Hills to find out why the one I had pre-ordered over two months ago hadn't been shipped yet...well, lo and behold, it arrived a week later. Go figure.

Only my second 07 with the 2020 date stamp.

I think those are good looking handles. You pulled a good one.

Thanks, Smitty....I'm almost too ashamed to admit it, but, when I saw this Autumn SC Bone model show up on eBay before I had received the one I had pre-ordered from Shepherd Hills, The Monkey got so impatient, he ordered another one from an eBay seller (same price, but I had to pay tax and shipping on eBay). So it looks like I have another one on the way....it will be interesting to see how they compare as a "matching pair."
Nothing wrong with having multiples of favorite 07 models...right, Skip?

I concur totally. I've looked at several with very slight variation of the patterns of color in the bone. I look forward to seeing the comparison when you receive the other one.

I would be happy to take the duplicate off your hands. At a reasonable price of course. Is a check still alright?
I don't THINK I have one of those.

As soon as it arrives, I'll let you know. But, of course first I'll have to choose which one I like best and then decide if I want to let either of them go (I'm sure you can understand the "Monkey mind collector mentality").
As far as "a reasonable price"...jerryd...surely you know by now that whenever you want one of my knives all you have to do is ask and it's as good as yours...the money is merely a "formality"

Hello all. Finally received my Case XX 6207 Mini-Trapper in the Second Cut Autumn Bone. Very pleased with it. It doesn't have as much color variation as I was hoping, but I still like it. I believe the pile side has a little more color than the front. Anyway, here it is.

I've looked at about two dozen or more of this model and each one is unique which is cool because basically no two are exactly alike--some are darker, some lighter, some more mottled and some more uniform in color--kind of like appaloosa (or stag) in that respect. My second one is waiting to be picked up at the PO...The Monkey's been nagging me (screeching loudly and impatiently) to get my lazy butt up to the PO to retrieve it for the last two days. I think tomorrow I might finally have a chance to go get it.

jerryd is absolutely correct: That is a very nice green color on your Clover Sawcut Bone 07, John. I especially like the pile side with the blue & yellow highlights. That is probably the closest thing to Peacock Appaloosa (my personal 07 unicorn) that I've seen on a Mini-T so far. Might have to take a closer look at getting one of those for myself.

The black quatrefoil shield is nice too...I don't have any of those in my collection...yet.
