I have finally stepped over the threshold of no return. From being a half aced collector to just merely a user. Why does it all have that disreputable tinge of the drug fiend . Or the user of souls ; use them and throw them away and move on to the next victim. Am I REally that evil ? Is there no redemption on the horizon ? ? ?
I fear it is true.
Well I did it. I have been secretly, even denying to my self that I was, contemplating such a thing . . . though I admit to entertaining the odd notion of taking on a second one and defiling it.
I DID IT !
I JUST DID IT !
He said with a kind of half mad, some what out of control, ecstasy croaking, unsteadily in his throat.
I tried experiments with specimens of other similar but lower species just to see if my theories could work. Most of the out comes were not overly hideous . . .
. . . it is a hard thing to put down once one gets a taste for it.
You may remember this little green monster. A success !?!
It survived !
And lives a life of service in my empire even if it is some what less endowed than it once was. It is better for the operations . . . it is more single minded and loyal now . . . and more docile and less wayward.
I wanted more bulk though. I wanted the wonderful bestial brawn of the Case Stag Trapper. Something the green Boker was just not up to.
But we will talk of IT no more.
The Chef took one look at me at the cutting board and thought it was one of the most preposterous things she has seen me do yet.
She insinuated by her tone that there are many and it was a close decision. I didnt ask for elaboration.
And you all know how I like a serious knife edge durability cutting contest !
I dont know my self whether I was setting up for a contest or just making a snack. Who can say at this late juncture ?
But I thought of you all soon after I began and thought : Why not. I will share this with the world. A moment like this should not go undocumented.
The test is to see if the Case Stag Trapper is in deed THEEEE best, ergonomically speaking, folding pocket knife in the world.
I set up to test on the infamous, locally produced, cinnamon croissant. A true everyday test if there ever was one. Does your EDC have what it takes to hold up to this kind of abuse ? ? ? ?
While handling these other knives and lovingly washing the blades and warming them up for WHAT WAS TO COME I admired their individual features and feel. Each one a great performer. As far as my collecting days . . . probably the Para 2 with DLC blade comes the closest to my last "Safe Queen" if I ever really had one. I don't want to scratch the coating and it has more cutting friction than the others so . . . lovely as it is for tough jobs it won't see the kind of use the others have seen.
The final results of the test ?
Well that is hard to say. I must run the data through UNIVAC.
First seat of the pants impressions is the Case Trapper is a clear winner and will see much use with pride and precision now that that awful, in the way spay blade is out of the way. I sharpen when dull and carry several knives so the chances of me actually using that blade, even in the case where the main blade had gone hopelessly dull, were practically zero. Since the grip with the spay blade in the way bugged me and was not quite "THERE" I just had this knife around but didn't use it as much as I used to.
What finally pushed me over the edge, into this altered state of awareness and clarity, was when I imagined buying A SECOND Case Stag Trapper to collect and keep in pristine if not mint condition so that I could feel "OK" with cuting the second blade off this first Case Star Trapper. I just could not bring myself to do that. Until now.
BUT
That poor second knife would never see any use or even much handling (like zero) . . . so why have it ? ? ? ?
Because I appreciate the fine Case Stag Trapper and I want to show respect to the maker and design . . . etc., . . . ahhhhh . . . etc., ahhhhhhh . . . but if I didn't spend that $80 or $90 plus on a knife I won't ever use or really pay much attention to . . .
and there is that little windfall I wasn't counting on until spring that miraculously appeared . . . and if those two resources were to be combined some how . . . lets say in the bank account . . . just for the sake of conversation . . .
Theeeeeeeeeeeee last knife that I could ever REEEEEEELLLLLLY want could be ordered before the end of the year ! ! ! !
Making 2017 a knife purchase free year. I mean there is no where to go beyond THIS LAST KNIFE. Even the maker of the knife on the YouTube says so . . . and HE must know . . . after all he made the knife . . .
looks like I am a one Case Stag Trapper . . . hideously modded . . . yet . . . user.
Just as I failed the One-Month-Carry-Challenge . . . I have failed as a knife collector
yah . . . I'm weak . . . but that is another post.
PS: and we have the name for the knife : The Star Trapper.
I went to fix the typo from "Star" to "Stag" and there it was.
