GEC 72 questions

[jerryd6818]

The next GEC on my WTH ("Want To Have") list is a Northfield 720110. Preferable with Burnt Stag or Yellow Bone if I can find one for less than a million dollars. I looked in the Production List for 2010 to see what I was getting into and try and make sure I wasn't asking for the moon (You know. Like a 720110 Banana Peel or Blue Jigged Bone. ). The list confuses me.

#720110
Ebony Wood --- 25 pcs. serialized 11 pcs. no serial numbers
Antique Walnut Jig Bone --- 25 pcs. serialized 20 pcs. no serial numbers
Yellow Rose --- 4 pcs. no serial numbers
Burnt Stag --- 25 pcs. serialized 16 pcs. no serial numbers
Genuine Stag --- 26 pcs. serialized

#720110
Antique Amber Jig Bone --- 25 pcs. serialized 26 pcs. no serial numbers
Smooth Yellow Rose --- 25 pcs. serialized 50 pcs. no serial numbers
Burnt Orange Jig Bone --- 25 pcs. serialized 26 pcs. no serial numbers
Banana Peel --- 6 pcs. no serial numbers
Dark Red Jig Bone --- 3 pcs. no serial numbers
Blue Jig Bone --- 3 pcs. no serial numbers
Red Stag --- 25 pcs. serialized 17 pcs. no serial numbers
Burnt Stag --- 25 pcs. serialized 44 pcs. no serial numbers
Genuine Stag --- 26 pcs. serialized

Are they listed like this because they did two runs in 2010? So does this mean there were a total of 110 made with Burnt Stag and 75 Smooth Yellow (I'm assuming the 4 Yellow Rose had the rose shield and thus were different)

Wharncliffe blade is a must.
Am I wasting my time looking for a Burnt Stag for less than $150? (nearer to $110-$120)
Am I wasting my time looking for one with Smooth Yellow Bone?
Either one would satisfy me.

Any and all replies welcome. Blunt but not cruel answers appreciated.

Well sugar. No wonder I was confused.

There are still a couple of Ebony 720110s out there. Looks like that may be my best bet or just go without.

Thanks Monk.

There are still a couple of Ebony 720110s out there.

Sorry to post in an old thread but, Jerry, you said there are still a few ebony 720110's out there? Is that for the wharncliffe blade or the other blade shapes?

I love the look of that wharncliffe as an EDC, especially with the lanyard hole (I tend to lose things out of my pockets). But, man alive, I can't find the wharncliffe bladed 720110's online anywhere.

I also don't know if I can drop $100 or so on a knife I've never held much less find an extra $100 in my budget. And trying to sneak it by the wife is something else too!

Thanks, Jon aka Nemo

Jon...

To help out

721___ ...Clip Blade

And I'm afraid about the only one's available are the spear point blades......in ebony

LittleNemo -- Boggs would know. He's one of the primeo GEC guys. Don't get your hopes up. That's a very popular configuration and they're rare.

Thanks for the reply guys. I figured it was popular since I couldn't find it anywhere online. Here's hoping GEC does another run sometime when I have some spare money. Time to start saving up a slush fund!
