GEEEEEEEE this Crown Royal is making me happy...

So I feel I am brave enough to night to show you all proof I was at the Queen's Factory.

Can you guess which one is me ???

Looks like I had a bad day but not really it was a very good day.

I just missed my nap time...so much to see. I was real worn out.

That's a great picture Ken, you look like you were made for show business, that would make a good sales picture.

Thanks for sharing,

Sunburst

I am not sure but I think this is one of the Acrylic OPEN HOUSE knives.

If I am wrong please correct me.

I saw so many knives that week end my head is still spinning.

My pocket book is still spinning too yet...

He has a RED acrylic up as well Ken.

He has had a lot of GEC knives. I got a River Valley GREEN Scout (#004) from him recently.

From what I've seen the ones with a reserve were at $140.00, far cry from the first one he listed and offered me at $180.00, no thanks.

Maybe he misinterpreted what the market was willing to pay?

I would certainly agree that $180 sounds well, ah, dear.

He states ; "Limited production of only 71 total. The knife is numbered OH 22. Each of the 71 is a different color"

GEE that's not quite true. I think it was more like 10 or more of one color.

That would make it 7 colors...

He did not say that the handles are made of Acrylic.

Makes me wounder ...

Here is his Wine Red one

I have one too...

Kool then you are the man...

Do you have both shades of GREEN ones then.

I saw one super green and went back the next day to get it .
BUT she was gone....

She had swerls going left to right like the red ones.

Don't know the lowdown on all the acrylic colors, but here is the 2007 GREEN Scout I got.....a nice knife, IMO.

Edit: Actually, this is the first one I got...#003. Sorry.

Those are pretty darn nice knives Bill, the River Valley Green (RVG) is a real nice green, IMO. Is that a transition knife, has 2006 and 2007 on the tang of the spey blade.

Howdy Hukk.

Well, somewhat unfortunately I guess, neither of mine are the transition knives. Did they make the smaller one with transition blades? I have bid on one of the larger patterns with the 2006/2007 blades...but alas

...no joy for me.

Now, I hope no one faints

...but this is a nice meaty knife with some guts, and I'm thinking about actually using one of these for its intended purpose.

I know...but I may not be able to help myself.

Ooops!

Need my coffee, that's a #73, the transition was the larger #23. I have a couple EDC's in my GEC's.

A Bocote and a RVG both in the 73 pattern. I do get a lot of whoa, where did you get that knife? By those that see you using them or showing them, they do garner a lot of attention.

I EDC 2007 knives, not the 2006.
