Well if anyone knows of anything else let us know if there's any missing.......and Monk (one of each..hahahaha..I'd have to sell your knives to do that)of the short runs I only picked up on the Farmer with stag and brass....brass has been done previously on the Bradford Bullet Scout and Pioneer version but never with stag...should look pretty darn nice.

And I did grab a Buffalo #85 2011/2012 .......Earl there's still one out there if you picked up on the other #85's

I was told that there will be more "orphans" made up in a few weeks. ::paranoid::

Did anyone get any of the 23's in Red Stag? I'd like to see some photos.

Great snags Trevor! Looks like you got both types of red stag that I've seen. Nice!!! Is the 23 a slip joint or locker?

Teach me something. What is a slip joint? Does half stops have anything to with it? Is a locker a lockback?

thanks a lot

That's a beauty, Trevor. ::tu:: ::tu::

A slippie or slip joint just rides on the spring. GEC makes two types of lockers, a liner lock and a lockback. Both liner locks and slippies can have half-stops which is a squared off tang. A lock back is a different mechanism altogether.

these are turning out to be very nice knives all around!

Boggs, that brass farmer is sweet!

I have one of the Single blade end-capped Scouts in Ebony on the way …

I'm thinkin' the plain bar shield with end cap in Ebony should look pretty sweet … we'll see …
