I just received this Jay Bigler custom mini trapper today.
It is 3-1/2" long, lightweight, with micarta handles.
I am really enjoying it!

Inspired by you my friend, thanks for the compliment, always appreciate the feedback and I try to learn a few new tricks from guys who know what they're doing when I can.

Another great shot; this time doing a 07 solo number with The Rusty Spike Trio singing backup 8)

So, now that you've carried both a Case 07 and a S&M 51, do you have a preference? And what's your feeling on the different pen blade placements (front vs back) ::hmm::? Inquiring minds want to know. ::nod::

::rotflol:: ::clapping:: :mrgreen: ::tu:: Ha ha ha, that's a good one. Thanks for the mention. I don't know which I like better, they both have their pros and cons. I do like the S&M method of putting both nicks on the same side, the mark side access works well. But I still like the '64-69 red bone you sent about as well as any Mini T I have. Sweet bones, tight, solid, smooth, just a fabulous piece. The S&M 51 is no slouch with beautiful bones and everything else. They are very well made knives. Same with the Case. I don't know which is better, I just like the both of them. Can't thank you enough for each of them. Both sweet knives that I'm really enjoying carrying and using lately. ::handshake::

Beautiful piece, nice micarta, thought it was Ebony at first glance. Didn't notice his name on it until just now. Very cool custom. ::tu::

Couple older Case Mini Ts that I really like. Red bone is '65-69 and the green bone is '40-64.
