I have a Case mini trapper that is from the family series sold at Shepherd Hills. It has "granddaughter" etched on the handle of the knife. This is my favorite knife of my collection. We lost my granddaughter, Brooke, on April 25th this year. She was 4 years old. She had Alper's Syndrome.

You and your family are in my prayers. It must be very hard. I know how I feel about my little 22 month old grandson. I once accidently stepped on his foot. I think I almost cried more than he did! Keep that knife and cherish the memories it brings back. And I am sure that your granddaughter is happy in heaven now and enjoying perfect health.

JJ; Now you did it. I am feeling the feeling.! I have to get a Seahorse.

That was my first CASE Seahorse Whittler.

I had seen an ad for one in a Woodcraft catalog. I picked this one up at Lowes, to carve Peach Pits with. Well I always wind up with a spare, so I got another, with a different handle. Well... the rest is history. For the longest time I resisted the term "Collector". I was a "User" with a bunch of extras, as spares.
The first, stays in my whittlin bag. I carry another, on my belt, all the time.

Mine is the Sway Back Jack just a good fit in my hand and in the pocket. I collect the Jack Gent and also the Desk Knife. Also have a few other patterns I like as well.

Some great looking knives being shown on here I'm sure that I will like this group.

Man Uncle Jim those are some knock out Seahorses

I'm a little partial to this one. I bought a Damascusand had Bob Picklesimer take the stak off it and send it to Michael Hoover ... http://redrummdknives.blademakers.com/ ... He added Dinosaur Gem quality fissilized bone and polished it to where it shines like a diamond in a goat's patootie! It is special!

Then there's this one. It's one that Shirley Boser presented me with just before she retired. It is TRULY special, and is a family heirloom. Read the certificate that came with it. That says it all.

Then we got this little number. I sent Bob Picklesimer another Damascus, and called Christy Culpepper and asked her to send Bob some of her finest presentation Black Lip Pearl. Bob married them together and this was the result. A truly beautiful piece that I have not taken a really presentable picture of. Pictures just can't do it justice. Bob has done several more Damascus Seahorsies in various colors of Mammoth tooth and Coral. He is a master!

I am a very fortunate guy to be in a position to be able to afford these, and to have friends who are special enough to make them, or have them made. A very fortunate old guy indeed.
