SOLD (thanks for looking)
SHORT VERSION: Red bone Russlock and brown synthetic Slimline Trapper; both for $40 shipped CONUS.
LONG VERSION:
RUSSLOCK: Chrome Vanadium steel blade (carbon) It's stained from cutting fruit, but not rusted. Aside from light pocket wear consistent with a few days' worth of carry, the only flaw is that the dye at the end and side of one scale is weak. (see pic) If it bugs you, you could probably send it back to Case and have them send you one with nicer-looking scales. If it doesn't sell, I'll probably do just that.
SYNTHETIC SLIMLINE TRAPPER: This one feels GREAT in the hand, and the blade is long enough to put in some serious work cutting up fruit, but without being so wide or thick that it is a bulky knife. It has Case's TruSharp stainless steel for the blade. Nothing wrong with this one at all. I just wound up not carrying it because the brown synthetic scales are not the most attractive things in the world to me. Bottom line: throw it in your lunch box and enjoy!

I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago. If you come pick them up in person, it's $35. Shipping outside of the continental US is by prior agreement with me only.
Thanks for looking!
