Which GEC is in the mail???

[jmh58]

What do you guys think about a smooth bone,smooth oiled bone,or smooth ivory would go on a new #14 pattern?
Hypothetically speaking at this time.

Any of those would be a winner here!!!! John

Jig Bone Beagle , posted on the 7th May USPS Tracker shows it leaving Chicago USPS Facility on the 8th of May, after two weeks i am starting to worry.

Pagant, welcome to AAPK !
Do you live in USA ? If so 2 weeks is way overdue for a USPS delivery. I frequently receive a small packet containing a knife that was mailed only 48 hours previously. Occasionally an item does get 'lost' in the USPS system. Tracking shows nothing for many days or even a few weeks and then the package shows up delivered to your place.
However after 2 weeks i would contact the seller with a view to getting a refund. I have been a buyer in this situation at least twice and was issued a refund and then months later the item was delivered. I then contacted the seller and paid again.
Keep us posted please.

Thanks for the advice kj, I have just now sent off an Email to the vendor , as i am in England i am used to packages taking seven to ten days average sometimes it is longer but usually that is because our Customs are holding it up. So it is fingers crossed time.

Hi kj, good news the Beagle arrived this morning and it had not been opened by HM Customs thereby saving me about $30.00 vat and handling, although when i checked usps tracker this morning it still showed the last check as May 8th and nothing on our post tracking here in the UK.
Still it is here now and i am delighted with it as i had been disappointed with the Coyote i found it to fiddly for my ageing hands but this little guy is just about perfect for my needs as a watch pocket knife, perfect fit and finish as we expect from GEC , it has gone straight into my pocket and the Spyderco Manbug has gone back into its drawer with the rest of my Spydies. Ah it feels good to have a traditional back in my pocket again.

Excellent news here pagant, thanks for posting. I have a Blackwood Coyote which i like but so far have not bought a Beagle. Interesting to hear you say it feels bigger than the Coyote even though they are the same size (i think).
Is yours a 1 or 2 blade Beagle ?
I have been looking at the Stag Beagles but so far have seen only mediocre Stag.
Any advice out there re 1 or 2 blade ?
And pagant how about a picture ? It would be appreciated by all of us here. We like pictures !

Hi again kj, yes the Beagle is a two bladed knife giving that extra bit of heft and in my opinion makes it fit in the hand better, also i prefer the spear point main blade the secondary coping blade may be ok for fine work but is small. My Beagle is the Cola jig bone and my Coyote is also a brown jig bone making them a nice pair. I have dreaded being asked for pictures, i used to be able to post pictures from my old Dell laptop until it died and i replaced it with something called a cloudbook and i can not for the life of me figure out how to post picture from it !! My next door neighbour did show me, but as i neither understand nor speak computer it did not work out, so i will have to wait until my niece comes to visit , hopefully in about three weeks. I have taken some pictures although if and when you see them you may ask why i bothered !!!

when i checked usps tracker this morning it still showed the last check as May 8th and nothing on our post tracking here in the UK.

When en route to it's destination, U.S.P.S. tracking does not follow the item once it leaves the states.
