Tip of the hat to you Mike,you gonna make a lot of folks happy.........first class all the way bro.

So the run is 50 of each handle material Mike?

[galvanic1882]

Yes 50 stag and 50 Rosewood and thanks for the kind words, Mike

[knowtracks]

Man-O-Man that Stag sure looks GREAT Mike! As do the openers, CAN'T wait!!!

Well worth the wait!

I love the Rosewood but that Stag........wow!!!!

[2Dead]

I can't wait to get my hands on these!!

What is the latest word on the Eureka's? I just checked the GEC website. After being mum about the Jacks for 4 or 5 days, they are announcing Tidioute Eurekas now with what looks like jigged bone and rosewood handles. GEC must own the tooling and can do with it whatever they want. But what about the Champlins? Are they getting close?

[galvanic1882]

Here is the latest from GEC this morning. The blade openers have been shipped on Friday so I will have them tomorrow. The knives should be shipped to me today and I should have them Wed. I have all day Friday scheduled to get them mailed out. Sorry for the longer wait on them, thanks Mike

[Earl]

Great news Mike. No worries on the wait bro.,its all good.

Looking Good !!

[Earl]

Lets see................its Friday so I'm sure your busy Mike, knee deep in Eureka's I'm guess'n....how cool that must be bro. I bet you were pacing the floor yesterday anticipating delivery

[galvanic1882]

Let me tell you that Donna and I were up last night getting all the knives ready to ship and most are gone this morning and I have a few to mail this afternoon. All of the knives that have been paid for are in the mail. Waiting payment on a few and then they will go out. I can't wait to see pictures posted and hear comments. I will tell you that I almost gave all the money back and kept them !!!!

[Corvus]

@#&%! I missed this pre-order, and I'm a big fan of the Eureka pattern . The Tidiouts are nice enough, but I miss the bells and whistles.

If anyone has a spare in wood or decent stag, please look me up.

[Jody744]

Pm galvanic, he may still have some available
He will respond rather quickly

[Corvus]

Thanks, Jody. Already tried a PM but it seems they're all spoken for.

[Centurion]

Are all of the blade openers spoken for? Would like one if possible.
