I just gotta say, the CC Waynorth sfo completely blows the standard 93 right out of the water.

It is true for every Waynorth offering. Charlie C. has a special ability to envision changes to the basic design that make for a 'stand out' knife, one that is instantly appealing and that you will not tire of.

Greg, at first I was a little put off by the shield placement but the more I looked at it I decided I really liked it, glad to see GEC not afraid to try something different. I'm liking the jigging. I've got 2 on the way, 1 to carry and 1 to put away.

Well I like the cocobello 93 knife and the way it's built so very much that I'm going to give the big Ram a shot to grow on me! ::nod::

It is interesting that the Charlie C. version has no shield. I like a shield and at first thought Charlie should of had a shield put on them. However now having seen numerous pictures of the Charlie C. knife, i can see it is 'perfect', instantly appealing. A shield might have interrupted the visual 'flow' and actually made it less attractive.
I cannot get a 'feel' for the #93 with the ram's head shield from the picture posted. I think when you have it in hand it will either 'speak' to you immediately, or it won't. This is when you will know if this shield in this placement enhances this knife or detracts from it.
Sometimes a knife is much better in person than in a picture.

I wasn’t sure about it at first but like has been expressed it grows on you! Just an exceptionally well crafted folder. The jigging is marvelous, the hafting superb, the transitions from bolster to bone spot, pull a strong 6 with the pinch ability “frosting on the cake”, blade centering perfect, shield nicely inletted and not overly proud, satisfying in hand with just the right amount of heft and visually appealing! What’s not to like ::nod:: GEC is at the top of their game right now!

Duffer, did you just tell us that they are as quality as they are beautiful? That's what I took from it. Those all 3 are wonderful. ::nod:: ::nod::

Duffer, you have 3. I don't even have 1, yet. I am jealous.
They all are very good looking knives and your review covers all 'bases' and all score 'perfect'. This is very special. Now i'm even more jealous :mrgreen:

I like the knife and I think the shield works with the knife. It is a large knife and the scale and the large shield seems to work for me. Although I do believe I would have liked it better if the shield were rotated 90 degrees to the left so the Ram is a little easier to see when the knife is horizontal (see picture below). The shield does have some nice detail work as shown in the enlargement.

The Waynorth version has upgraded componentry (steel liners, pins, bolster work, etc.). I like the lambfoot blade profile better as well. Although I have to say I like both knives, but the Waynorth version a little better. Please pardon the slightly mismatched camera angles.

Excellent comparison Jerry! I missed the lambs foot but I do have a possible trade in the works for one. Hopefully I will get it. I was very impressed with the the cocobello 93 so I'm sure I'll get used to the Ram shield. I think this 93 run was a good one for GEC. ::tu::

My Original Ram Foot came today. The Ram shield is much nicer in hand than it looks in pictures. I'm well satisfied with the two that I chose. :D

redrider, the first handgun I ever owned was that one in .32 S&W long. $37 brand new out the door with 5 bullets to put in it. Bought it a couple of days after my 21st birthday.

I just paid for two #93 Northfield real rams foot knives. I just spotted this picture on Face Book. The real #93 Lambs foot and #93 Rams foot knives are the exact same dark chestnut color with different jigging.

You guys must be super fast at responding to email alerts of knives available. I have received quite a few emails saying 'new batch of #93 available' but every time i check i see "Sold Out". Other than sitting in front of computer and refreshing email every 2 minutes for a few days, there is no other way because these sell out in minutes. There are a great many #93 on ebay right now. I do not understand how flippers can score multiples of this pattern. One seller has 15 listed.
Because i always arrive after 'Sold Out' i do not get to see the prices. Did someone recently post prices for the various #93's ? I would like to know how much extra ebay sellers are charging. I will pay more than original but i do not want to feed greed.
