I made a bid on this CASE Trapper on the Shepherd Hills website during their September auction and then never gave it a second thought. I had no expectations of winning it, but I just received a phone call from them confirming I won and it's in the mail!
Congrats David!!

Congratulations David! Nuthin' like that feeling when you've won something! Love what the script says!
In addition to the Cattleman's Cutlery Farriers Companion that's been stuck in SOUTHERN ME DISTRIBUTION CENTER since September 21st, I have these two on the way.
Case 2020 Mini-Trapper with Amber Bone, currently passing through SAN ANTONIO TX DISTRIBUTION CENTER
And this WESTERN 6504, a Camillus 72 clone, currently passing through CHARLESTON WV PROCESSING CENTER.

Sweet knives Jerry. I have a couple of those Western 6504 and they are almost a 72 clone but not quite. Close enough to be cousins. I really like them.

Couple of nice ones Jerry. Can't go wrong with Amber Bone. Look forward for some more pictures of the Western when it arrives.

Floyd, what is it about the Western 6504 that keeps it from being a 72 clone (in your opinion)?

Jerry, it is not built on a swell center frame and I believe it to be slightly shorter than the 72. Both mine are put away but here is a pick to compare them with.

Thanks Floyd. I never noticed that. Maybe that's why I had a picture of one but didn't have one of the knives.
Too late now Lewis. Done bit the things head off. It will be here the first part of next week.
I think you will like it Jerry, as I said I have two.

Great looking additions everyone!
I like that Western Jerry!
I just picked up my first Eisenhower pen knife (2009 & unused). A pattern I believe I'll really like.
WOW Tommy boy, that is a magnificent pick-up. Love it, you obviously did your research on that one, and glad you could get it. Make sure you give us a full report when you get it.

Knice pickup buddy!
She's an especially fine example, of a pattern I've been meaning to collect myself; just other 'un's keep catching my eye...

After going through a period of waffling and deleting it from my eBay watch list, unable to make a decision whether or not to buy one of these RR Southwest Bow Trappers, I sank into the darkness of the abyss this morning and placed one on order. I had decided I wasn't going to buy any knives this month but my justification was it will go well with the other three RR Bow Trappers I already have.

Good looking knife Jerry. Some intricate work on the handles there. But I feel you my friend, I myself have made that same statement, but..........in reality in my case it is, "JUST..........ONE...............MORE..............MUST............RESIST.............OTHERS" In which case I usually fail.
