For the life of me I can't imagine a military scenario/situation that would require pink digi-cam (and believe me, I've tried); nevertheless, for some inexplicable reason that one grows on me a little bit more every time I see it. ::undecided::

I was going to post a different Mini-T today, but since jerryd broke out "Operation Petticoat," I'm going to show the closest thing I have to it from my collection. It's such an oddball, if I don't show it now it may never be seen again.

Under normal circumstances this is not one I would have chosen for myself; but, I picked this'un up in a recent swap deal because it was the only 07 on the table, so the Monkey had no choice but to get it. At least the handle is bone.

So, it's 3 in favor and 1 opposed...I guess it really is true what they say: There's no accounting for taste (meaning my taste, of course ::tounge:: ).

Going to have to raise Old Glory today (Mini-T style) in honor of Memorial Day.

Two of these have synthetic handles and one has bone...can you tell the difference?

Hands down the coolest shield Case ever put on a knife, period. ::nod::

I'll let jerryd do the heart tally since he called dibs on that Mini-T and it will be on the road to Rockford as fast as I can ship it outta here. All those hearts just makes the Monkey cross-eyed and confused. ::cb::

Even my resident office gecko seemed intrigued by the hearts. He often perches atop my computer monitor and snatches insects attracted to the light, but this is the first time I've ever seen him venture onto the screen. It's hard to tell from the photo, but he's actually looking directly at me as if asking, "What the heck is this?"

Case released four 07W models in 2019 (that I can remember). So far, zero in 2020. I'm still hoping to get an 07W with the new decade tang stamp.

I've had this one for just over one year now; doesn't seem that long, though.

I finally broke down and got that one. I'm not sorry I bought it but it's not my "oh my gosh" king of the crew either. Six months later, I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it.

~Q~, the handles on that Queen are outstanding!!!!

Today's offering. The handles are not outstanding and the pile side showcases Case's annoying penchant for hafting most of the bark off but, it's stag. ::undecided::

I'm not a huge fan of Winterbottom bone, but I really like it on this Queen / Dan Burke #51

~Q~, I'm not a fan of Winterbottom at all but I know there is a fan club and that's fine for them. Everything needs someone.

This is my contribution for the day.

QTCut5, I agree with you on both points. That's a pretty knife!

Before he started GEC, Ken Daniels made knives under the Queen City brand for a short time. No idea how many Cozy Glen Classic Knives were made (or in what patterns), but this Green Bone Mini Trapper is the only one I've ever seen.

I was ambivalent about that one when I first saw it, but then an anonymous benefactor bombed me with one. I must admit it's not one that makes my heart skip a beat, but it has grown on me.

Here's mine:

You fellers are showing some more fine knives, I'm one of the fellers Jerry is talking about above. When you get around to posting one prettier than that winterbottom bone handle, I'll be the first to let you know. ::woot:: ::super_happy:: ::handshake::
