I'll start with this Case mini trapper. I've owned and carried it for around 8 years. I really like the size of the mini trapper for EDC.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190831/86d59020062c944b2076fe52152decba.jpg)

Used to skin and gut rabbits during hunting season, dress pheasants, when I lucky with the 20 gauge, and skin Muskrats that I trapped along the drainage ditches in the low lands were my grandparents lived.
It is a good pattern.
There is not a CASE badge, or a Trapper badge. But, there is s Traditional Badge that you will qualify for after completing 30 days.

A Trapper was the or one of first pocket knives I purchased. And still own, well over 50 yrs old, the knife, as I am older.That is a nice looking Trapper, especially at its age! :cheers:

Yet, for a $3.00 drug store buy when I was 7 yrs old, a Japanese made Sabre has good steel that holds an edge even considering the abuse I subjected it to while developing sharping skills.

I'm a high school ag teacher and I always have a unit on hand tool maintenance and sharpening, knives included. I provide the knives. This one is taking me a while to get a decent edge back on it after I try to undo what a couple of classes of freshmen have done to it. That's why the blades aren't open in the pic.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190902/1f190f514374411468a95dbc74d97130.jpg)

Day 6 - not exactly a trapper design but I like this Case. I won it on a giveaway on some blog several years ago. It's a little big for EDC with a closed size of 4 inches and open with around 8 inches, but it is a useful and pretty knife. I think they called it a hip pocket folder.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190905/3ad7fa4001bccd9a8d974cf9c046cc62.jpg)

CD your model is called a "Back Pocket".
It's the same body as the Panama Trapper except it has a single blade.
That's a nice one to own.
PS: Case also makes a single blade Trapper.

Day 7 - moving into a traditional folder before I start lapping back around. I bought this Uncle Henry in the fall of 1981. This, obviously, is my most carried knife. I've castrated quite a few calves with it, cut a few hogs and lots of other things. It takes an edge well and is simply, a fantastic knife.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190906/1f7885a013864984059be01c522c0b8d.jpg)Wow, when I left the farm in the 70s for college we were already banding the calves and hogs to prevent infections from cutting.

Yes, hot and humid most days in SW Michigan and the cattle always wondered about marsh/swamp areas along sides of the creek from the spring feed pond.
Had to wash down the cows before milking, making a muddy mess at edge of the approach apron.

EVERYONE should milk cows for a while. It sure gives you a real appreciation for a gallon of milk in the store! And getting slapped in the face by a wet and smurfy tail is an experience that some people haven't had, and it shows.

Day 15 - size perspective - here are the knives I've carried this month. Bottom is the Case hip pocket folder, top is the Buck Mini. Not sure why I have 2 yellow Case mini trappers, but I do.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190915/461b172910a6d4dcaff77c0ba78f3632.jpg)Everyone needs a backup of their favorite knife! :whistle:

Day 17 - my grandad was the scout leader for my dad and his older brother in the late 40's and early 50's. This was one of their knives. It still takes an edge and only has one crack in the scales next to the emblem. It is an Imperial from Providence, Rhode Island.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190916/dc420ba8e5de20ac970eed5e28c2bda7.jpg)Nice family heirloom! :cheers:

Day 22 - Case Mini. I suppose I've had this knife for at least 15 years. A bit of oxidation, but it still sharpens nicely.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190921/05335d053444d768dcbf670e0a2fec4a.jpg)Very nice :tu:

Day 23 - Old Timer. Man, this 30 day deal requires some commitment! I'm so ready to go back to lock back, assisted opening with a pocket clip! But I'll power through!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190922/5d7b869b81e2fff1141c87ba0b68def0.jpg)You are doing great! Next ones will get easier!

Day 30 - Buck mini trapper. Here is what I learned this month. Trappers and traditional folders can do at least 75% of the things I carry a knife for. Cutting string, rope, tape, opening packages. I have moved to lock-backs and assisted openers or Leatherman for the most part with my daily carry, but I've enjoyed the small and easy daily carry of a regular pocket knife. I'll likely go right back to lock-backs or knives with a pocket clip or my Wave or Surge just because they are all just a bit more versatile, but if I had to, I could get along just fine with a mini trapper like this one.Not bad at all! :tu:
