According to the blog at TSA, GEC is going to raise the price of all the snakewood-handled knives.

The supplier on snakewood has gone up somewhat and they will not only raise the price a little but will run it like genuine stag and primitive (all serialized and fairly limited). The price increase will start with this new Hogan model, but the all serialized will start with the next variant.

They are nice when they are figured like snake, but there are plenty of them that are just wood. I would require that it be perfectly figured before I rated it above ebony or coco rose anyway.

Whoo EEEE!! Boy, am I lucky!! A friend was going to the Shotshow in Vegas and asked if I wanted him to look for anything. I showed him a picture of the ebony sunfish ............. Well, he returned to work today ............ WITH AN EBONY SUNFISH!!!!!! It was the display knife, no box (which is in the mail), and the only one left at the booth. I'm tickled pink to have it!!

I don't think the #48J is too far off the single bladed run.

Thanks Monk. It does look similar to GEC's ebony but a bit lighter and more reddish. Its a cloudy day today, maybe I'll get a better pic when the sun comes out.
