Hey Monk I did the same thing, I saw a pic and said "Dang I've got to have that". Then I bought another ::shrug:: Something about the snakewood makes it look so classy. You sure picked out a good one ::tu::

Big Monk-
I was wiping down the GEC #66 Jack knife snakewood and cut my finger. I noticed that both blades didn't close completely, leaving the tips exposed. I didn't notice this at first. I sent chris an e-mail at GEC, hope they fix it. Just wanted to let ya know in case yours is the same.

Thanks Mike _____i checked mine,and I too could,feel the tip of the main blade,slightly. Seems to be,this is being noticed, more often,lately ( the ""high"" blade )--maybe,someone in quality control,has gone to sleep ????

No misprint Monk, it's a single blade 23...one of 19 made that year.
The 53 is a bit redish on one side, but I hesitate to call it a red stag
and I don't see any listed for 07.... ::shrug::

Monk, I don't have any from 06 or 07...I know some were made but they are scarce. Somewhere on this thread I saw one
or two...I'm thinking gmusic has a few...I would like to know more about the Stag and Red Stag on the earlier knives, if
anyone has any info it would be much appreciated.

Big Monk- I had both of those on my watch list. If I hadn't bid on a couple others, you might have had to out-bid me on those. :mrgreen:

They are nice ones. ::tu::
