I see it's been a while since we've had a daily. It's hard for me to believe ~Q~ ran out of Mini-T's.
Lately, the Monkey's been focusing more on his Wharncliffe obsession...not holding my breath but still hoping Case will get on the stick and release a 2020 07W.
But until they do, I'll have to be satisfied with my 07W Glennbad mods...which I'm still drooling over and will be for a very long time.
I chose a (Bermuda Green Bone) SELECT 07W to get refitted in Antique Stag and I think the effect is quite striking. Glenn really knocked it out of the ball park with this one.

Oh my! If only Case could make one like that.

Good one, Ivoryman...and I wholeheartedly agree.
Here's the other "Glenngreat" mod:

Jaw keeps dropping. That's the best looking bone stag I've ever seen, looks more like antler than about any other I've seen. Gorgeous, and I love the bare head no shield. Wowwweeeeee.

Thanks Smitty.
Just received this one this week and for the time being, it's the end of the line for me. I'm very pleased with it.

Very nice Jerry. Those are durable handles. I've got a set of grips on one of my 1911A1's with Black Canvas laminate. Been on several years and show no wear at all.

Although black is not one of my preferred handle colors, I got this Mini-T with black composite handles because I liked how the embellishments (diamond XX shield and XX bolster stamp) add a bit of class but primarily because I needed a 07 with handle material #2 in order to complete my Mini-T handle material number sequence 1-10. (OCD Monkey has a habit of getting obsessed with some pretty esoteric trivia
)
Interestingly, jerryd's Black Canvas Laminate Mini Trapper uses the same handle material number (10) in the pattern stamp as my Silver Stardust Mini Trapper...both have pattern number 10207.

I considered getting a Silver Stardust but it just didn't unzip my wallet. Maybe it's better in person.

I think it is better in person (aren't they all!)...especially if you like sparkly. But, for me the main draw was the red shield, of course, as well as the fact that The Monkey needed a Mini-T with handle material "10" in the pattern stamp.

Froggy Jumped and added this one to the 07 collection. 2015 10107 Harley Davidson with micarta handles Still in the box, don't think it has been carried, but looks to have been opened from the pack several times. All I've done is oil the joint. May polish the bolsters and blade some.

Here's my slightly different version of a single blade Harley-Davidson Mini Trapper:
Pattern Number 6107W
Bone handle instead of Micarta
Wharncliffe instead of Clip blade
HD logo etched on handle instead of on blade
Barbed Wire motif stamped on mark side bolsters
No shield

Nice features = 1.) no blade etch 2.) Wharncliffe blade. I could go for one of those, ~Q~.
Are we showing Harley editions? This is mine. I think it completes the cap-lifter series.

Sometimes Froggy (and I am sure Monkey) can be very persuasive!

Very nice. I looked at one of those the other day. One of my local small family owned hardware stores has a couple of Case XX sales displays, one with this one. I didn't buy it, but Froggy has been whispering to me again.

I've wanted a Cripple Creek knife ever since seeing the ones made by GEC. I love the buffalo shield: Apparently Bob Cargill, creator of Cripple Creek knives, is an amputee, and the three-legged buffalo on the shield, as well as the Cripple Creek brand name, are not-so-subtle references to his condition.
Although I'm sure this knife was not made by GEC (looks more like a Queen product to me), the 3 3/8" Mini Trapper pattern fits my collection criteria perfectly. I have no idea what the blade etch refers to, but I would guess this knife must be a SFO for some kind of group, club or organization.

Ohhh my. Even if it isn't 3½", that's a jewel. I'm green with envy. Congrats ~Q~. The only one I have is a 1987 Whittler.

Correct on the date and probably on the handle material, but I don't think that's a Slimline Trapper (048), GSPTOPDOG. I could be mistaken but that looks more like a Serpentine Jack (62087) to me.

OK, I'm going to go with your ID, as I was just taking a guess. Thanks!
