Ode To The 07

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Goes without saying. :lol:

Although, in a pinch, I think The Monkey would consider a nice gnarly stag handle as well. ::nod::
You have a source for both of those handle options also :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

But now that you've kicked The Monkey's overactive imagination into overdrive...

The blade I would like to see on a mini trapper is a nice slender even-width spear. I think that would look great on a single blade _107, or on a _207W if combined with one of Lansky1's modified ratcliffe blades as the secondary.
I like that idea too ... Case never makes enough even-width spear patterns - love those. ::tu::

Case's First Production Run (FPR) Mini Trapper of 2024 sports bright canary yellow bone covers with a sharply contrasting black oval shield.
But the best part: it's an 07W!!! ::woot:: ::ds::

Let's test Floyd's theory (not in ash, exactly, but still volcanic in origin)

Can you find it? :lol:

This very unique three-blade cigar band EX307W with mammoth tooth and black & white jasper was conjured up by BIGHEAD while he was apparently "channeling" Mini-T Monkey.
(The Monkey's influence reaches far and wide and is all but irresistible to those over whom his menacing shadow falls! Many claim it's enough to drive a man insane ::paranoid:: I believe the evidence speaks for itself)

Another beautiful addition to the mini-T collection - The Monkey should be proud... Great work Barry!

Sweet bones on that one. Nice Damascus too.

Carried this 1978 2 dot out with a GEC to get a pic of the snow before it melted.

Followed this Red Stag R5507 on eBay just to see how much it sold for.

Winning bid = $310 :shock:

If the box in the picture is the original box for this knife and the price tags are genuine, someone made out like a bandit! ::uc::

Hello, GEC? Case just called, they want a piece of that outrageous secondary market markup you thought you had cornered. :lol: :lol:

Wowweeee, man that's a lot of money for a production run. Know how much they sold for originally? If they can command that price it says something. Wow, prices continue to shock me.
