Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
To make a long story short. Finally decided on the the jig bone. I've had the Moose for a little over a week. Overall I'm pleased with it.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
I think the jigged bone on this Moose looks good. It suits the knife. I bet after six months of riding in a pocket plus getting some use will give a bit of a warm shine to the bone and it will look even better, almost vintage.

Sweet looking 78 Bomba, I'm waiting for the single blade version, supposed to be out this week in the color I want. Nice one.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
The single blade 78 with white bone has been at dealers for a few days. I bought one on ebay (GEC dealer, not flipper) Dec 17 and tracking shows will be delivered in another 1-2 days. Paid $80, which included shipping. Not a dealer/seller i have bought from before but his FB is all good and this price seemed too good to pass up.

Got the GEC 78 a few days ago. Much better pull on this knife than some of the the other recent releases.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
I opted for the single blade version. I purchased two because one of them is going to be altered according to a devious modification scheme I hatched in my twisted brain. I was surprised at how different the bone is between them...thought it would be nearly identical or more uniform, but clearly it's not.
The top one in the photos came from KSF: $85.25 (includes buffalo leather pocket slip)
Bottom one came from The Knife Connection: $79.95 (free shipping)

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Seems like the smooth white bone 78 is very popular. My two blade edition is currently "in the mail". USPS says Tuesday but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Saturday. Alright baby, come to papa.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Glad you finally capitulated, Jerry. The two-blade 78s are really nice knives and the size is just right. I'd almost be a little worried that the single-blades would be too slim for my liking.
Here's my latest GEC.

Looks like Ivoryman and I both doubled down on the same American Jacks: Single Blade Smooth White Bone & Single Blade Chestnut Peach Seed Jigged Bone (although for some unknown reason SMKW decided to call it Pennsylvania Peach Seed on their website and on the sales receipt). But, as The Bard famously said, "A knife by any other name still cuts as sweet." (I'm paraphrasing here, but I'm pretty sure it was Shakespeare.)

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Nailed it Q, fabulous looking smooth bone, pics don't do it justice. Smooth, sleek, Sassy. Goes good with a wharn. That is one fine looking one-of-a-kind. Kudos.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Received this one in the mail from John (jmh58). It’s the Northfield UN-X-LD 18 in 1095 carbon steel. Great knife I think I am going to slide it into my normal rotation. Thanks John for helping me add to my GEC fixation.

Those #18s are sure cute little beggars. Great one to have Ed.
GEC 782217 American Jack Tidioute Smooth White Bone came in today's mail(1-13-18). Excellent. I'm totally satisfied Strong pull but not too strong. Great walk and talk. I'm very pleased with it.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Here's my first pics, of my #78 brothers, and their #14 little brother. Taking good knife pics isn't as easy as looking at other peoples' knife pics! Trying to learn how to use this new/old camera...pics will get better.
