First knife of 2020

I always thought the mini trapper would be perfect if it had a wharncliffe or sheepsfoot instead of a spey. I love the blade combination on this 92.

Well, you're in luck. Case does make the mini trapper in both a single blade wharncliffe, and a two blade, clip/wharncliffe. It's a nice knife, but I like the 92 better.

There's also a mini-Beer-Trapper.

Thank you, Bruce, and congrats on the #66. I have a few of them, and they're great little knives. Knowing your enjoyment of Case's #18 pattern, I thing you should really like the Calf Roper.

The 66s are outstanding. I finally have an ebony Tidioute Calf Roper. Happy, happy.

Dang. I really like that green one. If I could change one thing about the #92 it would be for both blades to be the same size.

Well, it finally arrived...

Here is my first knife for 2020... an old Empire no. 372 electricians knife, likely c.1920

USPS update, my new Calf Roper will arrive today instead of tomorrow - that's exciting! OH
Ps It was on the porch when I got home - failing light but first picture.

Very nice! It appears there is some sort of locking mechanism that keeps the screwdriver blade locked until you push down on the main blade? Then it locks in the open position? How cool is that?

315, the Buck 102 looks real good in a flat grind - nice!
V-P, very nice old Empire - they sure knew how to class up a working knife didn't they?
