Here's my new Hayn' Helper which is pretty cheesy etch IMO, but it's part of Farm and Field Tool line with Nifebrite handles. Surprised at how well this built. I was expecting a little play in the blade or lesser quality on these but NO,,, it's still great GEC quality.

[Wood-Guy]

Nice hayn' helper, I have that same model in the two blade in black Delrin. I tried to get the nifebrite but they were sold out when they first came out. I guess I waited too long.

[singin46]

I hear ya Ryan, I tried the very same thing but they were long gone by the time I was ready to pull the trigger.

Yep... That's how it all starts... Before you know it you'll have a fleet of great Easterns...

[Wood-Guy]

Got this one in over the weekend... just can't go wrong with a beaver...

[ricky]

I like it ryan and your right you cant go wrong lol

[Wood-Guy]

Thanks Ricky, I like what they've done with rounding the bolsters on the ends and it even seems as if the springs aren't as stiff? nice knife, I haven't compared it to the older beavers but it also seems as if the jigging is somewhat different... little subtle changes...

[ricky]

I dont have any but they are a beautiful knife.

[Turtle]

i like the way the jigging was done in a triangular pattern,awesome!

[Wood-Guy]

Yep... To me it looks like a zig-zag pattern, I've never seen that before...

It's a neat jigging pattern. I recall 1st seeing it on the ruby red SS lockback 72s. I'm pretty sure this is the 1st time they've done it in wood.

[Wood-Guy]

Thanks Glenn, all I know is I'm glad to have it, very neat!

[jerryd6818]

I had a stroke of good luck so I rewarded myself. I just ordered it this morning so the picture is Derrick's over at KSF. This is the one I've been drooling over. Let the waiting begin.

[carrmillus]

.....if you decide you don't like it, jerry, i'll be glad to take it off your hands!!!.......... ............

[jerryd6818]

That's mighty caucasian of you Tommy. I certainly appreciate your thoughtfulness.

[IMBand]

I just ordered it this morning...

Jerry....that knife is GORGEOUS!! Absolutely STUNNING Stag on that one, and very nice pattern by GEC as well. WOWZER!!

[jerryd6818]

Thanks Trevor or maybe GEC should be thanking you, they're the ones who made it. I was enraptured with the knife from the first moment I saw it. I couldn't pass it up. Buying a GEC is a big deal to me so I'll be on pins and noodles (sic) until it shows up in my mailbox.

Wait!! Incoming alert. I just this very minute received two emails from KSF telling me the knife has shipped and providing a tracking number.

[big monk]

WOW & Outstanding !!!!!!!___________________Congrats on a very kool ""STAGLICIOUS "" trapper, JerryD !!!!!! you have rewarded yourself well,my friend !!!!

[tendots]

Jerry,jolly good However,think the knife would look better as a single wharnie JMO.Congrats Gus.

[jerryd6818]

Thanks Monk. I haven't seen very many of the Stag Improved Trappers. I feel fortunate to be able to buy it for several reasons.

Just taking a shot in the dark here, do you happen to know how many of the Burnt Stag Improved Trappers were made?


Not for me Gus. I prefer the two blade editions. I'm not a fan of Trappers but that Wharncliffe blade, along with that gorgeous toasted Stag, snagged me.


Edit: Something rattled through my brain cage. I thought I remembered there being a single blade 48 made (not a Wharncliffe blade). To me though, with a single blade, it's more a Farmer's Knife than it is a Trapper. JMO

We won't know,till they release the production totals for 2013** ---Looks like they,GEC ""did not"" serialize the Burnt Stag---but serialized the ""Natural Stag"" so here we go again (who knows why they do the things they do ????? )

[Gunstock Jack]

Jerry, the 48 Improved Trapper is an excellent knife and I'm sure you will love it! The pattern has been made as a single blade Calif. clip, clip and pen, Cal. clip and spey, clip and hip spey, and the improved with the Cal clip and Wharncliffe. There were also a couple stainless versions. They are all damn fine pieces of US cutlery!

There were at least 25 burnt stag IT's made I'm sure.
