What is the difference (except for the dates on the tang) between the 2007 bocote & the 2011 bocote muskrat? Was it just popular enough to warrant another production run? ::shrug:: ::shrug::
Factory pic of the 2011 version.

At first I thought it was the quality of Bocote used since the 2011 original was listed simple as Bocote and not the Exotic Bocote like the 2007 ....but now the only noticeable different is the blade etch size between the two.....still need both....here's the 2007

This Antique Green Bone Improved Muskrat was actually my very first GEC … this is the knife that started my GEC infatuation …

… I popped it out of the tube, and the heft, scale, and build quality just blew me away … I literally laughed out loud ...

I have since snagged Bocote, Genuine Stag, and Snakewood #53 Muskrats … but I don't have pics of any of 'em !

:shock:
