Q, you got me! :lol: That's not exactly what I meant though. ::facepalm::

If it makes you happy here are pictures of one of them. (The other is already boxed to send to our son. Hoping if I ship it now it will arrive before Christmas).

I'll echo everyone else' sentiment here - received mine a week or so ago, it's awesome and well worth the wait, thanks for all the effort getting such a great knife made and shipped! One of the best GECs I bought this year for sure!

I was out of town on vacation, but my mom stayed at house while we were away, and got the mail. I was happy to come home and see it. Thanks!

Walked down to the mailbox and look what I found:
Sat there on the front step, in the warm sunshine and enjoyed the moment!<br />It's a beauty, half stops and all!

First and foremost thank you Brian and Tom,
My knife is already getting pocket time.
I guess you can say I have already used it also. All though it was not intentional.
Took it out when I received it and was showing it to my Bride, Miss Lori. I said check out the cool spear blade. When I closed it the knife made its first appearance/cut. I think heard a giggle and I got called a dork.
It is gorgeous and sharp.
Thank you again
Steve

I couldn’t agree more Q - the variations on colors, peaks and valleys is very consistent in each knife and across all 221 knives. I’m pleased with my decision to postpone delivery until the proper covers could be procured.

PocketPatina is the AAPK member formerly known as IM EJ. Ed’s ID was compromised and had to be launched under a new name.

Am I the only one that goes to the coping blade over the main blade nearly every time I use mine ::shrug::

No sir. I love that there's a very functional coping secondary. If there wasn't, I wouldn't carry this one most likely. I like to use the coping to save the main and its etch.

That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend. ::tu::

GEC did it for us. The leftovers that Bill made for us we had JBF laser engraved on the blade.
