Congrats, beautiful knife. Love the color and the jigging. What's the color called if ya don't mind? Niiiiiiiiiiiice. Good year. Love the snap on those older GECs.

They called it "cherry jigged bone."

I know the light spots on the end are just where they sanded deeper than the dye took, but I think it makes it look just like a plump, ripe Rainier cherry. I love It.

Cherry jigged bone, very nice! I was also wondering what color it is. I like everything about that knife, actually I like it better than my 48 Improved Trapper. I prefer the wider regular clip, and I think the pen blade is more useful than the skinny wharnie. Unless you just open a ton of mail, then I suppose the thin wharnie would excel as a letter opener. Anyway, you've got a great find there! And the jigging looks nice and smooth too, probably better than the "cheese grater" hand feel of recent smaller jigging patterns. Well done!

I just got this 2012 slant bolster 66 stockman in a trade. Beautiful cocobolo handles, I can't do them justice with my pictures.

Here is the result of my splurging during my birthday week a couple weeks ago

Ajd, I'm surprised you didn't pick up some colorful ones. That looks like a Birthday week to remember. Almost a knife rainbow.

So I've got a friend, you know the type, lives for the trade. Well he knows I likes me some stockman knives and showed up at work this morning and hollers 'catch'. We quickly came to very reasonable terms and now it's mine.

39 made according to GEC. I consider myself very lucky. I dont have an example of all of GEC various stockman but a Wrangler was very high on the want list. The top spot on the want list and what I'd probably call my grail knife would be an 81 Abilene Yellow Rose.

Beautiful handle Big Monk.

I have one of the 57 whittlers and it is a great knife.

Slinger, Ajd, Sharpshiny, Rotten, beautiful pieces all of you, and over this page. Big Monk that's gotta be the prettiest stag in the herd. Wow.
Me I've been Camel hunting on and off for years now. Hard to fight it. I'm a sucker for the blues.

Here's my new 85 polished stag.

Beautiful gsmith, I watched two sell, even bid, but was promptly passed by and left in the dust. Congrats, that's a beautiful cover.

Greg, I saw those cross on Ebay and thought about buying, but wasn’t sure how the extra polishing would be viewed by others. It’s a tough decision to alter a knife like that. I like the looks of it. How do you like it?

I'm probably misunderstanding in some way, but I thought GEC released these knives in this condition?

Mark I'm fairly certain that GEC made them like that as a SFO for Collector knives. Polished stag and satin finish blades.

Maybe I am mistaken. There was a seller last week that had in his description that he didn’t like the unpolished stag that GEC put out so he polishe it down. That was in his description that HE had modified it. I thought Greg’s knife was that one. If you have the original listing you can see what he said he did to the knife and why.
I didn’t realize that GEC had any they had plolished. Glad to know.

Here are two that just joined the herd today.

Sharpnshinyknives · Post by **Sharpnshinyknives** » Mon Mar 18, 2019 9:22 pm

Very nice Greg. Here is the 85 that sold the other day on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/GEC-85-Northfi ... 7675.l2557
The seller says that he was unable to attain one of the polished stag and he polished this one. Surprisingly it went for 305 dollars. I guess a do it yourself polished stag is still worth a small fortune.

Greg, what are the pattern numbers for those 2, a 48 & 54 but what year ?
