Welcome HighPlains. That’s encouraging. I have 2 97’s on early reserve, none in Micarta. Now I’m hoping to get the ones I have reserved come along soon. YEAH!HighPlains wrote:I just got my early reserve alert from Collector Knives for the maroon linen micarta. Just over $100. They look pretty sweet. I think I recall spotting on the GEC What’s Happening page a little handwritten note next to a pile of shapes micarta covers that said 800 pieces. So hopefully plenty to go around. Can’t wait to see some pics over here!
The first releases are the Tidioutes Mark. The ones with the double pull and the sabre ground blades will be the Northfields.Sharpnshinyknives wrote:The maroon linen MIcarta knives that are available do not have the two pulls, just has the long one in the picture above. Does anyone know if they are all being made w/ just one pull? Also the maroon ones do not look to be sabre ground. Did I misread something about these?

John I like those much more than I thought I would. Somehow GEC has given that wood a bit of a distressed look which I think makes it look fantastic!JohnR wrote:Received the first one I reserved of the 97's, jigged Brazilian Cherry and its a nice knife. Great fit and finish, I don't know how GEC consistently puts together such a high quality knife. Pull is fine, on the lighter side, 5 or so, I'm starting to appreciate lighter pulls as the arthritis in my hands is getting worse. Looking forward to the Northfields I have reserved.
Thanks Greg, it is a good looking well built knife.gsmith7158 wrote:John I like those much more than I thought I would.
