Re: GEC's #14s
Nice looking Stag on the few that remain. Greg are you thinking $123 is high ?
I paid $101 for the 2 blade with jigged Antique Yellow bone.

It's such a smallknife Roland. I'm thinking $123 might be better spent elsewhere.kootenay joe wrote:Nice looking Stag on the few that remain. Greg are you thinking $123 is high ?

The two blade elderberry and golden brown jigged bone versions are now available on SMKW. They are listed under the Cripple Creek brand.

They sure seem to be asking quite a bit on these... Just my thoughts.a-c wrote:The two blade elderberry and golden brown jigged bone versions are now available on SMKW. They are listed under the Cripple Creek brand.

Re: GEC's #14s
Doc Holiday once said that my Hypocricy only goes so far Wyatt. Apparentlly my hypocrisy knows no bounds as I said I would pass on this stag 2 Blade 14. As has happenened before though that is not the case and I shall try to rationalize my purchase by noting that rewards points decreased my purchase price to $93 So what else could I do?

I can't imagine how much their stag handled one will be.MadTrapper wrote: They sure seem to be asking quite a bit on these... Just my thoughts.
Frank's Classic Knives has the Elderberry and Golden Brown for $5 less than SMKW.

Re: GEC's #14s
The Northwoods Harrison Bay is a GEC #14. The kudu one sold at $200 (o.k. $199). I have one from ebay for $220. The kudu is translucent, like acrylic. It is attractive but i would not buy a kudu again for this price differential. I'm o.k. with $200 for mammoth but not kudu. Giraffe bone has been 'better' than the kudu and close to on par with the mammoths & the mastodons.

Re: GEC's #14s
I would agree with that assesment Roland . The kudu is no more than an acrylic handle knife at twice the price I feel cheated. KsF had better get their act together on this next round or customers will be lost.kootenay joe wrote:The Northwoods Harrison Bay is a GEC #14. The kudu one sold at $200 (o.k. $199).

Re: GEC's #14s
It is difficult to pass these up with the awesome sambar stag that ALL these knives seem to have. I am kinda confused though, how come your picture doesn't have a clip point blade? Is this a different year's knife? Thanks.gsmith7158 wrote:Doc Holiday once said that my Hypocricy only goes so far Wyatt.

The Lick Creek has shipped from GEC according to: https://bladeforums.com/threads/new-14- ... t-18505431boykinlp wrote: Do you expect that the stag version of the Cripple Creek and the white bone Lick Creek will come out next week?
The Cripple Creek stag not listed as completed yet on the GEC blog, ironwood and micarta also not complete yet.
Re: GEC's #14s
Thanks for everyone's patience.
I can’t hardly wait to get one in my hands.
I just checked USPS tracking, expected delivery Monday for my knives ( or I waver). Hopefully I can get some mailed out. Getting real anxious myself.
This is not my first SFO, but it is the first of the Lick Creek Cutlery Co stamped knives.
Thanks to all of those who have been supportive now and over the years, especially Charlie C and Bill Howard.
I was all set to post this last night and I don't know what distracted me . I didn't remember until I read this thread this morning.
