The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Uh, make that two Unicorns.
When you find them, jerryd, you know who to call...just name your price.
In the meanwhile time...
This was supposed to be my Christmas present to myself...ordered it way back in late October but it just now arrived. I was seeing this model showing up on eBay, so I called Shepherd Hills to find out why the one I had pre-ordered over two months ago hadn't been shipped yet...well, lo and behold, it arrived a week later. Go figure.

Only my second 07 with the 2020 date stamp.
I think those are good looking handles. You pulled a good one.

Thanks, Smitty....I'm almost too ashamed to admit it, but, when I saw this Autumn SC Bone model show up on eBay before I had received the one I had pre-ordered from Shepherd Hills, The Monkey got so impatient, he ordered another one from an eBay seller (same price, but I had to pay tax and shipping on eBay). So it looks like I have another one on the way....it will be interesting to see how they compare as a "matching pair."
Nothing wrong with having multiples of favorite 07 models...right, Skip?

I concur totally. I've looked at several with very slight variation of the patterns of color in the bone. I look forward to seeing the comparison when you receive the other one.

I would be happy to take the duplicate off your hands. At a reasonable price of course. Is a check still alright?
I don't THINK I have one of those.

As soon as it arrives, I'll let you know. But, of course first I'll have to choose which one I like best and then decide if I want to let either of them go (I'm sure you can understand the "Monkey mind collector mentality").
As far as "a reasonable price"...jerryd...surely you know by now that whenever you want one of my knives all you have to do is ask and it's as good as yours...the money is merely a "formality"
Hello all. Finally received my Case XX 6207 Mini-Trapper in the Second Cut Autumn Bone. Very pleased with it. It doesn't have as much color variation as I was hoping, but I still like it. I believe the pile side has a little more color than the front. Anyway, here it is.

I've looked at about two dozen or more of this model and each one is unique which is cool because basically no two are exactly alike--some are darker, some lighter, some more mottled and some more uniform in color--kind of like appaloosa (or stag) in that respect. My second one is waiting to be picked up at the PO...The Monkey's been nagging me (screeching loudly and impatiently) to get my lazy butt up to the PO to retrieve it for the last two days. I think tomorrow I might finally have a chance to go get it.
jerryd is absolutely correct: That is a very nice green color on your Clover Sawcut Bone 07, John. I especially like the pile side with the blue & yellow highlights. That is probably the closest thing to Peacock Appaloosa (my personal 07 unicorn) that I've seen on a Mini-T so far. Might have to take a closer look at getting one of those for myself. The black quatrefoil shield is nice too...I don't have any of those in my collection...yet.

Thank You Q. I like the shield also.

I've noticed that some are too dark for my taste but you have chosen well grasshopper. That's a big for both of them.
Those are so nice I couldn't control myself so I have one that just hit town this morning and should find it's way into my mailbox later today. I'm hoping it's the same one that was pictured in the auction.

And the one I bought came today. I'm pleased with the mark side. Pile side is just a skoosh dark but not terrible. Spey blade has about 1/8" of rock in the half-stop position. Disappointing but not worth the trouble to send it back.

jerryd, I've looked at a bunch of the 2020 Ltd Ed Autumn SC Bone 6207s and it seems that the vast majority of the pile sides are much darker than the mark sides. I wonder why that is? (I've seen some that look almost totally black.) Yours looks pretty good to me. I'll admit, I was a little disappointed with my first one when it arrived because I was expecting it to be mostly orange like the one in the stock photo at SMKW. But, now that I've had it for awhile, it has really grown on me (as most knives have a tendency to do once I have them in hand). The 1/8" of ½stop play seems like a lot; but, personally I wouldn't worry too much about it; obviously, it would be more concerning if it had play in the fully open position. As a general rule for my own collection, I want all my knives to be in the best condition possible...especially a brand new knife...so I completely understand the disappointment you may feel.
