TSA Knives listed about 12 of them
this afternoon and I was lucky enough
to get one. Minutes ago there were still 2 of them available.

Yes. I see KSF also has (or had ?) a few. I think i will try to hold off. My aqua blue camel bone #12 is a beauty. I don't really need a stag one ::teary_eyes::

Got mine yesterday. I think I like the stag on the back better than on the front. Didn’t have a choice of stag by the time I got the email from CK, but I’m pretty pleased with it. I still like the camel bone and the red bone better.

I think you got a really nice one there. Personally I like the front side stag better, looks almost like mammoth bark. I'm not a big stag guy, but it looks really good here since the #12's alter ego is the "Powderhorn". Well done!

Got this today...Thought I wasn't going to get a #12...but here is my second one. I think I like the Frank's Classic, jigged red bone, a bit better. They are both nice knives.

KSF added a few more stag yesterday and I had to get this one even though I had already bought 2 other stag for myself and the wife. This is how I wish GEC would fit the stag all the time, almost bolster to bolster..

I got my #12 stag toothpick in last week. The stag looks pretty good on it! I also managed to pick up this #12 in Mammoth Ivory today at the Blade Show. ::super_happy::

That Stag on the front scales is wicked ! I bought a Sambar toothpick from KnivesShipFree and it looks like it is going to have a baby stag pin knife. "PHAT" I bought two slender Sambar Stag Toothpicks from CK. There was 6 available. There is 2 available when I last checked. I got to choose and there is a choice between the two left. You did wonderful , enjoy that knife. I bought the phat sambar because having one arm , I can stick this #12 between my knees and open it right up. I have 3 GEC knives coming in tomorrow and another on Thursday. I am excited.

I saw these new 4" toothpicks from GEC & thought they might sell out before I broke down & got one. Well, I broke down first.
2019 Northfield UN-X-LD #128119 Toothpick with 1095 & Copperhead Pony Cut jigged bone
2019 Northfield UN-X-LD #128119 Toothpick with 1095 & Copperhead Pony Cut jigged bone
I would prefer a little more color in the bone near each bolster but, in my opinion, the color in the one I got is well-balanced end-to-end & front-to-back & I'm happy with it. I also have a 2009 & I believe they're comparable in their fit & finish. Each has alignment that is right-on & each tang fits tight & smoothly to the spring when open. The spring on the 2009 is just a little stronger but the 2019 is fine & I think it has a pleasant snap both ways. The blade stock looks the same, to me, & the swedge on the 2009 is the only big difference I see. But just because they are both right in front of me doesn't mean I see everything so here they are side-by-side.

I said I would be able to save money, in retirement, by cutting back on going out to eat and buying knives. I've done pretty well at the eating thing...
I said that I wasn't really interested in this pattern and wouldn't be getting one...
It's all a blur, how I got here... ::facepalm::
