A while back someone on here posted a Case Wharncliffe tiny trapper. At the time I thought to myself, "If I ever find one of those..."
Well, yesterday I was out running errands and stopped by a not too distant hardware store / Case dealer. Their first display case didn't have anything too exciting. The second was one of those rotating, four sided affairs. Three sides didn't have anything of interest to me, but the fourth had several patterns in jigged chestnut bone and CV steel. I was standing there trying to decide if I could justify yet another swayback, or perhaps even a muskrat, when my eyes strayed to something really tiny at the top of the case. Yep. Went to find one of the guys with the keys. It was 50% more than the swayback gent, but I just had to have it. I love small knives, and this one is a real beauty.
