That's such a cool mod! Case needs to bring out a model or two like that!Greg, thank you for showing the gorgeous red stag stockmen! The XX 47 is one of the finest knives I've seen!
I'm a big fan of the silver script knives, of which my Beer Belly is a fine example.
That is the best looking Second Cut stag I have seen on any pocketknife! I own a few and have owned a few others in the past, all looked good, but none looked like First Cut stag - yours does. OH

Greg, let me add to the chorus of awe over your Red Stag Stockmen. The Rye loaf is very tasty but as I say not for those with dental problems- a thick hard chewy crust and tasty inside.

, Case did make this Mini Trapper with a caplifter a few years ago. The numbers must have been small, because I rarely see any. It is a great little knife. The Mini Trapper is a perfect size, and the caplifter is a great secondary. However it does not have the pizazz of

. XX era Case Red Stag is an enigma. I do not believe anyone knows why or how they created it or why they stopped using it. As for the second cut Red Stag, it must have been a SFO for someone. It seems to have been used in this version only for one production run of a few patterns. I wish they would use it more. In fact, I like it better than some of the first cut stag they currently use.
Yes, I missed the amber bone caplifter like you have. I did manage to get one in kirinite when they first released them. I agree,View attachment 2492265View attachment 2492266

's Beer belly has a lot of pizazz! 
Agreed and that's a fine old example6207 Dogleg Jack from 1975. One of my favorite Case knives and patterns. I wish they still made these with the pen blade, but the Mini Trapper is nice too.
Nevertheless, I find the Tony Bose re-interpretation of the Trapper more satisfying than the conventional type-having Wharncliffe in place of Spey. Here in Mini Trapper form, always found that name and the Mini Copperlock to be misleading, they're not tiny at all. Think CASE should've called them Demi-Trapper or at least Medium
Personally, I find that particular clip blade shape (the blade itself) one of the visually most appealing of any clip blades, no matter how much they may cost.
It’s a sweet blade shape in a very practical pattern which I bought off the exchange here. Bargain!
Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum!
Delicious together.
