Ode To The 07

Before requesting your knowledge of CV Wharncliff Mini-Ts your Rancher was one of only two that I could remember. It has not been that long since you displayed it with other stag Mini-Ts. The 3107W CV is new to me. There not being more than three offerings indicates a less than overwhelming demand.

I've long thought that decorated non-stainless blades were a bad idea. Sooner or later the start of rust will have to removed and the decorations will be lost along with the rust. That includes visible Damacus layering and various tumbled and stone washed blade surfaces. My worry about the last is the main reason that I did not buy the third Mini-T with a CV Wharncliff blade that I'm aware of. Remember the 6307W SS that you could not get rid of fast enough but I like? The last *307W and *354W knives that SMKW sold had yellow Delrin sides and stone washed CV blades. The other reason I did not buy the SMKW 3307W CV was despite having less expensive side covers and blade surfaces than the prior 6307W SS Mini-Ts they were priced higher. If your dislike for fat Mini-Ts did not cause to not think about them you probably would have remembered them to.

Case has made so many different production runs that I'll bet that there is another variation of *307W CV out there in Mini-T land.

I feel very fortunate to have snagged this Tested era (1920-40) Green Bone 6207 -- one of my "Holy Grail" knives.

I'd always heard claims of the legendary superiority of vintage Case knives and now I can finally confirm the veracity of these claims from personal experience.

The precision fit & finish of this knife and the overall construction is absolutely exquisite in every detail. Some of you will understand what I mean when I say the snap is comparable to the snap of a 1991 Keystone Series 1 Schatt & Morgan 042 151 (which is pretty darn impressive on an 80 - 100 yr. old knife).

Needless to say, I am over the moon. This one could very well be the coup de grace to my 07 collecting...the knife that quenches my insatiable 07 addiction once and for all (or at least until I find any 07Ws that I don't yet have ).

Q, it is exciting to me to see you so excited about a knife, and that one is a beautiful. Absolutely lovely.

One step closer to finishing my 207WHSS 1st Issue collection. The addition of this fine edge Wharncliffe Blue Bone makes it 90% complete. (The hunt continues for the final piece: the Green Bone with serrated Wharncliffe.)

1989 Case 207WHSS Blue Bone Fine Edge Wharncliffe Mini Trapper

[Modern Slip Joints]

We've got you! Now we know you'll trade your car for a green 1st issue with serrated edge. Do we also get your house if we add a 5207W?

I seldom look at old Case knives but that is the only long pull 07 that I can recall. It was quite the find. It did get me wondering how far back the 07 pattern goes. While your 1207 centennial implies 1895 we know Case's trapper was the 3 7/8" 007 until it was superseded by the 54 in 1915. The research section here writes 07 have been a regular in the product line since the 1930s it does not give and introduction date. Some where I got the idea that the 07 and 54 were introduced together but I do not recall where I read that or how I got the idea. Were there 07s before the tested era?

I'll drop this one in here. I actually forgot I had it. I was cleaning out my truck, & in my arm rest console and under all the store receipts, a pair of of sunglasses, umpteen phone charger cords that I no longer need, a note pad next to 5 non working ink pens , empty Altoids box, a hair scrunchie (Wife's ), & a flat (probably melted .....ehhhh probably still good) pack of unopened gum I found this....bolsters a little dull, but it'll clean up.

Can I clean your truck sometime?

[Papa Bones]

Got this in the mail today. 07 in the Crimson Peach Seed Jig Bone. I love the colors.

[QTCut5]

Ooooo...that's a beauty for sure. Love that Crimson color and the peach seed jigging; very nice. I can see why that one would appeal to you in particular, Smitty...Roll Tide!!

[jerryd6818]

Those Crimson covers are a real eye catcher. Congratulations.
