Something new for GEC maybe, but that knife doesn't need it.

Paul, do the blades on that pattern have half stops? I'm watching the daily production that they post on GEC website waiting to pick my favorite Northfield.

Mike-

TSA Knives listed the #33 Northfield Conductors tonight and about 1/2 of them are already gone.
There is/was a smooth buffalo horn that I would have liked to have owned but I was too late.
Apparently the bails are a big hit.

MIKE,

I've got a dead skunk. It does not have half stops.

Wilder · Post by **Wilder** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 1:26 am

Jay:

Congrats on the skunk!

I got one, too.

Mine has a lot of red on it but it's very knice.

Must have been hit hard by a semi.

Are you happy with the one you received?

According to a previous message posted here, they only made 9
of them.

Wilder

The ones with buffalo horn are sweet. Too bad we missed them!

Mike:

I didn't even know that they were going to make a buffalo horn.
I can't find it on GEC's website.
The bail would, imo, look best on the horn or the stag knives.

I have some powder dry in the event I get a shot at a gen. stag.

check out mike latham's website.
he's very good about keeping the list updated for upcoming models.

he's also the man when it comes to pre-ordering hot ones like the gen stag.

I'm surprised they're so jet black. Most buff horn I've seen seems to have white streaks in it.

water buffalo horn naturally has white streaks running through it - solid black ones have to be sought out.
it also comes in a translucent cream color (from white water buffalo) that can be burned with lye to resemble tortoiseshell.

Looks like the Buffalo Horn was an afterthought,less than a dozen made possibly???

boggs · Post by **boggs** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 7:02 pm

Earl.....

I believe the Buffalo Horn was slated since it was on Greg's Blog as new product updates showing 10 as the production number.

Earl · Post by **Earl** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 7:17 pm

Thanks you boggs These were all I was aware of......

Northfield:
Burnt Stag 80
Genuine Stag 35
Southwest Acrylic 10
Cranberry Acrylic 50
Bone 100
Ancient Kauri Wood 35

How does the buff horn hold up to pocket carry. Durable stuff, I'd assume?

I don't desire one to put on a shelf to admire. Anyone have a bad experience with horn? Splitting, cracking, shrinking, or otherwise acting unbecoming of a handle material?

Earl....

Crap I hate when I'm wrong.....I meant to say Mike Latham's Forum.

Earl · Post by **Earl** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 10:19 pm

No problem Jim,its all good brother

I think probably buffalo horn wasn't on the long term schedule; but as they saw they were going to need to shift some numbers around they found some horn that would work. I find it much harder to find horn with white streaks than the pitch black when I buy in bulk.

Wilder,

mines almost all white???? guess they made them all different.

thanks mike L
