Doctored.The double pins at the bottom of this 6185 support a diagnosis that it was doctored after it left Case in 1974. I'm totin' it anyway.

Looking at all your splendid mini trappers can make me mentally unbalanced, José!![]()
Love at first touch. This feels like a much more expensive knife. No blade play, lock feels solid, f&f is in my opinion very good. The edge was not as sharp as it could be, but this was cured easily by stropping, first on 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper, then on leather. Size is just right and the knife feels light for the size. This is the mini version.
