Any love for Mini trappers?

I like the Case mini-Trapper.

They come with quite a bite right out of the box.

Mine is a tiny trapper (2 5/8" closed). I really like it. It absolutely disappears in a watch pocket.
 
Mini trappers are great in the pocket. I think the larger ones are too heavy to ride loose, but the small ones are just right.
 
I had a really nice mini trapper for a while, a Cozy Glen/Queen City in red wormgroove bone with a brass acorn shield. Really well-put-together, excellent little knife, but way, WAY too small for me. Gifted it to a friend, and successfully got him interested in decent cutlery. :)
 
Don't know about love, but I like Case Mini Trappers. I have one in my back pocket right now, in fact. I carry them vertically beside my wallet, so minor variations in weight or bulk are not especially noticeable. I find that a Case Small Texas Jack is slimmer and lighter, though. Different blade configurations so it depends on what you're looking for.







 
Mini Trapper seems to be a great size and configuration! Im about to get a Chestnut CV!
 
Yes!
My current favorite, a 3.5" Schatt & Morgan:

I don't have a Boker yet, though I do have a Case wharncliffe Mini-Trapper (tiny one too)

I have a bit of an itch for one of those sawcut bone Case's too :D
 
This Case Chestnut bone in CV was my first traditional knife (yes, I actually am new to traditional knives) and started my collection off.


I'm also a fan of the Queen #51s which are also 3 1/2" long.
 
I just got a Case Wharncliffe Mini Trapper and I like it a lot. I like it so well that now I want one in Chestnut bone with CV!
 
I enjoy carrying this older version (1975) of the Case 6207 as it has a Pen blade in lieu of the long Spey and the main blade is of an ample size Clip - only down side is Delrin handles. I did buy a new one to keep as a spare and it has real bone handles (a feature I like a lot), but it came with a Spey secondary and a smaller Turkish Clip main. I like the blade configuration in the older version better. I do own some full size Case Trappers, but as has been mentioned, I find them larger than I prefer for EDC use. OH

I really want to find a mini trapper that I love. I've never owned one, but I love the pocketable design. Great photos in this thread..Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:
 
After seeing this, I had to get one. Just picked up a Case mini trapper in CV with yellow handles from local hardware store. Forcing a patina with yellow mustard.
