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.

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. ::doh:: I guess I waited too long. ::shrug::

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? ::shrug:: nice knife, I haven't compared it to the older beavers but it also seems as if the jigging is somewhat different... ::hmm:: little subtle changes... ::smirk::

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.

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. ::pace::

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. ::ds::

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

::shrug:: 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"" ::shrug:: so here we go again (who knows why they do the things they do ????? ) :) :)

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.
