PMs received & read, John...(they stay in the outbox until they've been opened by the recipient...just so you know). I've had my hands full (and covered in ink) all day trying to fix a broken printer...Failed. But, your news about the mod has saved the day. Can't wait to get it.

Thanks, my friend.

Aloha,

I went and peeked and it is an amazing mod.

I love my 07, a great EDC...I catch myself packing this one alot too...

Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard. You appear to be a Case junkie.

Not technically an 07 but they do call it a medium trapper.

Nice Stag Northwoods, Greg...whats the closed length of that one?

Same as the Case Q. The bolsters look a little thinner.

Greg, that's some fine looking stag.

Snagged this one outta the bay last evening. Thank goodness for GIXEN because I completely forgot about it.

Seller's picture of course.

Nice snag, jerryd...you stole that one! I like the stainless liners on the Select knives. Isn't this your second one in Bermuda Green?

~Q~

Thanks ~Q~. I was quite surprised and pleased with the cost. I expected it to go for much more since it's a Select.
As for the one I already have, you would be referring to the one in Hunter Green.

Both look good to me! Nice grab on the select.

Thanks fellers. Now the hardest part. The waiting.

Not an 07 of course but a cousin to the 07, this Chinese Buck 382 was waiting for me by the front door when I got home this morning. Wood handles and snaps like Oprah on a pork chop. For $12 it's exceptionally well built.

Another, not a Case Mini-Trapper. This Imperial Schrade came yesterday. Pacific Rim made (but no country of origin mark) it shows those folks are getting better and better at making knives. Seller said the handles are Celluloid but I highly doubt that. I'm more of a mind that they are Acrylic. Fit & Finish is about an 8-9 out of 10 with some blade rub and slightly less than perfect hafting holding it down. Walk and talk are superb with .22 rifle crack snap. Comes out of the box a 6 out of 10 for sharpness. I'm quite satisfied with it.

At first glance, I though it was some kind of exotic wood. Good looking knife, whatever it's made of.

Although this one's not a Case 07 either, it is a Mini Trapper and I love it so much I just have to show it off in this thread as well. (Plus it was a gift from a very generous fellow who is also a Mini Trapper aficionado.)
...it's also the hands-down, uncontested, indisputable winner in the "Most Unique Spey Blade" category.

It's bone. I looked at it with the small 45x microscope and it's definitely bone.

Q, this is an awesome mini trapper, that shield is wicked cool!

Thank you, slim. I must admit, I have not had much good to say about most China made knives I've owned in the past (the one exception being AG Russell, of course...but those aren't really "Chinese" knives, IMO...they're AG Russell knives that are made in a Chinese factory), but this Klaas is definitely one of the better made Pacific Rim products I have experienced.

My newest 07...Midnight Stag.
And, while I'm here...I think I'll go ahead and add this 07 Rainbow to the thread for posterity.
~Q~

Always something to strive for.

Today's mail.

I suppose it is only right to post this beautiful 07 here, a wonderful gift from Mr. Q

All real fine MTs yinz are posting!!! REAL FINE!!! John

Floyd, you are one lucky duck. That ~Q~ is a very generous fella.
