Thanks Iman! I really like that shield too, makes the knife distinctive. "Go Beavers!" You've been posting some real beauties too lately, congrats on owning so many gorgeous folders!

Thanks Roland! I've been reading about all the big cat and bear attacks out your way lately, but in spite of that I wish I was still living out there. Such beautiful country, and NO -40 temperatures!kootenay joe wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 5:03 am That is a Big Solid knife. Definitely will last more than 1 lifetime.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Bravooooooo. Those are some of the deepest colored scales I"ve seen. Like that much better than the washed out ones. Congrats, that is probably the prettiest I've seen and I've been watching them since they came out. Great score.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
So far this is the only knife from this collection of 92 knives that I am keeping for sure. The stag on this one is just amazing. The only other stag 44 in this collection had stag just as nice as this one, it sold quickly. I’m still on the fence about keeping a couple of stag 89’s. I moved this one into my display case today after cleaning and putting Ren Wax on it, so it’s officially being kept.

Thanks David. It’s been an awful temptation, there are a lot of nice stag knives in this collection but this one about made me jump out of my chair when I opened it.edge213 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 10:40 pmMark, you sure picked a nice one to keepSharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 8:02 pm So far this is the only knife from this collection of 92 knives that I am keeping for sure.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Beautiful knife Mark. It's easy to see why you're keeping that one. Really like the gunstock shape and those stag covers, what can I say!

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Just received this outstanding 73. Nail nick, Long pull, stamped, snakewood.
Just a beauty!

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
J1890, another score, another beauty. Wow, love that grain and the lanyard tube and the long pull and the nick, stamped blade. Mmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnn. Congrats again, you just keep nailing it big time.
SharpShiny, must say that is some of the best stag going. Congrats on the score and self control not to have to keep more of that beautiful collection. Wow, keep them coming, loving the show.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Roger that, Mark! Sweet stag on that one indeed. You made the right choice to hang onto it, IMHO. Good looking stag like that is increasingly scarce, it seems. I'm now at the point where I have decided only to accumulate more stag, never sell any...too many I've sold for which I now have seller's remorse. Prices have gone into the stratosphere on some of them (i.e., stag & elk GECs) that I couldn't afford to buy them back now even if they were offered for sale. Same goes for ivory.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 8:02 pm The stag on this one is just amazing...it’s officially being kept.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
That 73 with snakewood is beautiful. I haven’t seen many big knives with snakewood, mostly see it on smaller knives, but I really like it on that bigger knife. The handles look so warm to the touch.
Thank you Ivoryman and Q. I agree Q, after seeing what a great stag collection looks like, I am planning on focusing more on stag myself.

Oh man, that's even better, I love the 72 and those spears were rare and getting rarer. What year is that one? And the price still rising. Congrats, that is a fabulous score. Man that's a cool knife, got my drool and envy soaring. Congrats.

Thank you! Pretty excited to have this one. 73 is a great pattern and I really dig the unique double pulls.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
This is my second 93 in Cocobolo wood. I have another one in Cocobolo with nice grain, but not quite as nice as this one. I love that dark area that looks like Mt Fuji.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
The other side has a nice wood grain peak too. That is some fabulous grain. Beautiful knife period. But I think that about almost every GEC. Congrats, beautiful thing to behold.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 7:59 pm This is my second 93 in Cocobolo wood.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Thanks Ivoryman. I learned that when you see a stag or wooden handle that is especially nice, you better move on it when you can or you will miss out.Ivoryman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 9:33 pmThe other side has a nice wood grain peak too.
