53 Muskrat fans?

Great Lookin' Pair___2XTap ____the jiggin' on those two, really looks good

What is the difference (except for the dates on the tang) between the 2007 bocote & the 2011 bocote muskrat? Was it just popular enough to warrant another production run?
Factory pic of the 2011 version.

Just got these ,(8) #53M Muskrats,in a collection of 2007 knives,that I bought___both look the same to me

[boggs]

At first I thought it was the quality of Bocote used since the 2011 original was listed simple as Bocote and not the Exotic Bocote like the 2007 ....but now the only noticeable different is the blade etch size between the two.....still need both....here's the 2007

This Antique Green Bone Improved Muskrat was actually my very first GEC … this is the knife that started my GEC infatuation …

… I popped it out of the tube, and the heft, scale, and build quality just blew me away … I literally laughed out loud ...

I have since snagged Bocote, Genuine Stag, and Snakewood #53 Muskrats … but I don't have pics of any of 'em !

Here's my quandary. Two #53's in Ram's Horn from 2007. One is serialized (#06 on bottom) and one is unserialized (on top). GEC website lists 46 pieces produced in 2007, but no mention of any unserialized. Anybody have any info? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Very cool! if you can't find something and you don't get an answer elsewhere you could always send an email in to GEC and see if they can tell ya?

It seems to me, that the first few years of bookkeeping of the production totals, are a little less meticulous on the serialized/unserialized counts, than later production lists are.

The 53 is my FAVORITE pattern!
