Another 2006 Schatt & Morgan 042151 Jigged Burgundy Bone added to Mini-T Mountain.
Strangely, the color is quite a bit darker than the Burgundy bone on my other 042151 from 2006:

Case Crimson bone is some of the best looking handle material out there.
I wish they made more patterns with it.

For today's Mini TrapPER DIEM I present this little (3 3/8" closed) Parker Cutlery Co. IMO the made-in-Japan Parker knives are the best made knives under the Parker brand name. And, they're amazingly inexpensive, too.

Re: The Mini TrapPER DIEM -- Your Daily Mini Trapper
Continuing with the Stag theme...here's a 1991 Stag Keen Kutter (which is actually a Bear MGC, I believe). The Toasted Fat Stag on this Mini-T is quite different from the gnarly stag on the Hen & Rooster, but it still has a certain appeal of its own.

Re: The Mini TrapPER DIEM -- Your Daily Mini Trapper
Mahalo amigos (including all of you who I didn't tag).
Although I've previously posted this one in other threads on different forums, I feel dutybound to future generations of Mini-T collecting/curious AAPK members (as well as current members too, of course) to post it on this thread as well since it is a Mini Trapper, after all. The thing that sets this Mini-T apart and makes it a bit more exotic, unique and one-of-a-kind is the modification from a basic factory knife into a semi-custom knife, i.e., there's not another one exactly like it on the entire planet.
2002 Case 6107W Custom Mod w/mosaic pins, handle material unknown...possibly interior elephant ivory based on handle color and the cracks in mark side cover that are typical of E. ivory. Apart from that, although it looks and feels very much like ivory, I can detect no discernable grain that would convince me it actually is ivory. More likely it's a very nice faux ivory (probably acrylic). But, as we in the OCD Knife Collectors Community are fond of saying: "I knows what I likes/wants when I sees it."
