I'm getting better for sure.
What I had was really just a severe form of cold, don't remember what the doc called it though.
Definitely glad to be getting better so I can really start breaking in the new Thorogood's the rest of the way.

Btw I've decided to keep the Texas jack in my pocket the rest of the year, I've still got a belt and watch pocket for other knives so I'm not really limiting myself.
 
If it had a wharncliff secondary instead of a spey,then it wouldn't really be a trapper except for the name. I don't think the wharncliff would make a very good skinning blade.That's my thought anyhow.

I agree, but that horse is well out of the barn. A Wharncliffe blade would make for difficult skinning, but I don't think functionality has much to do with knife nomenclature these days. Case is and has been selling mini trappers with Wharnciffe or cap lifter secondaries for some time. The frame of the knife seems to be more persuasive in the naming. I own both versions of the Case mini trapper, as well as several with the spey secondary, and I've learned to get along. I haven't learned to skin with the cap lifter - yet.

Lol,you never skinned with a cap lifter yet? I guess I am just used to using the trapper as a hunter. I've had a Case for longer then I can remember and used the spey for skinning and cleaning such things as fish, rabbits and birds. For me, no other blade does it better. I agree though, we can make them all work, just not as good. I just like the continuous belly that the spey has for finger tip, detailed work. I have a GEC Improved Trapper with the Wharncliff.There good to be had with that nice flat sharp edge that it offers too.
