Ode To The 07

By special request, I am starting a thread devoted exclusively to showcasing examples of the humble yet amazingly utilitarian and artistically graceful Case Mini Trapper pattern 07. Please consider this an open invitation to post, discuss, examine or otherwise bask in the sweet glow and eternal magnificence of one of the most perfect patterns ever released by W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery in the history of mankind!

That definitely is some VERY nice stag, Mike...Unfortunately, you sent it to the wrong new home...it should've been sent to MINE!

~Q~ thank you very much for showing those. You have some really nice ones.

Following in the footsteps of my Wharncliffe hero ~Q~, I've accumulated a few Case 07 W's. Now, do the W's come in stag??

Technically XX, that is a dogleg jack, not a mini trapper. And a beautiful piece it is too.

I thought the 028 was the dog leg Jack?

I bet you're correct, I know a lot of ppl call these mini trappers!

I wish case did the 54 trapper in rough blCk!

Not sure if the Tony Bose counts, but it is a dog leg

T-jak, any knife by Tony Bose ALWAYS counts.

Two sweet stag & bone beauties you got there.

My source is knifeaholic's latest and I hope I'm not misunderstanding what I read. According to the source, the term mini trapper didn't come into use until late1979 when the pen blade was dropped for the spey blade. My tastes run to the wharncliffe rather than the spey blade. I would really like them to bring back the pen blade as a variation just like the 6207W.

Wouldn't be a mini-trapper then Steve. Would be just a plain old Jack knife and I would be fine with that.

As far as "mini" knife patterns go, I don't find the -07 to be all that mini, which I like. A 3 1/2" knife isn't that mini in my book, but I find 3 5/8" to be darn near perfect for carrying.

Great looking knives!

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Sat Jul 08, 2017 12:38 pm

I agree Red. 3½" isn't all that "mini" but compared to the 4¼" regular sized Trapper, it seems small. Now as to the 3-5/8", we all know what perfect sized knife you're talking about there.

Yes Sir!

Absolutely correct Jerry and I would be really good with that too.

I have a red 6207W with the Case american flag shield in my pocket today, so this thread is appropriate ! Been liking the slimmer 6107W more lately, but the 2 blade version is tough to beat for all around versatility.
