I'm looking for a particular pattern of knife, that's proving hard to find. I'd like a mini-trapper frame, with clip and pen blades, in carbon steel. Case made some 6207s with a pen blade until around 1970. GEC made the#48 with those blades, and Queen made that style too. All of these are pretty rare, and when I do find one, they go for double (or more) what a current Case would cost. Are there any options I've missed? Other makers who currently produce this pattern? Options like modify a blade? The current Case mini trapper's Clip blade would go great with a small wharncliffe as secondary, and the large spey blade could be ground down to that shape (and I could do it), but it would require making a new nail nick, (which I can't do), so I would have to pay someone to do the work, thus negating any cost advantage.
