and it won't be my last...
OK, first off, my picture taking skills don't do nice looking knives justice, but you're just gonna have to get over that right now....
But you get the "picture"...this knife is a real beauty!! I met with Forensicjim today and acquired this one, and when it hollered out to me, "take me home please"...no problem...

GEC calls it #73 dressed in sexy black macarta...great quality stuff in my opinion...I'm an instant GEC fan!!!

Nice Great Eastern you have. I like that smooth black, I hope they make the Cuban with smooth black soon.

Nice knife, I am not sure but I think that the macarta's may have been a one shot deal. I think that you will see more and varied handle materials and patterns from them in the near future. That red bone that I have seen a few pieces of for sale looks outstanding!!

Rick you got a nice one the 2 latest 73's I got from Ben are as follows

The 53 I got in recently, I believe could have been fine tuned a little more first G.E.C. that I had to flush out

Justin, I was told I got one of the few ones left...only a couple hundred made...don't mean as much to me as I will carry this one around some...may not USE it much, but I just like to carry cool knives...in cool sheaths.
I saw a really cool white somethin or other, looked like a MOP/Macarta mix, forgot what he called it, but he still has it as of this afternoon (Raisin River Knife Co. AKA Forensicjim)...anywayz...I'm liking this one more, the more I fondle it....

WOW...that's a hunka hunka burning Stag for sure!! That will put me in my place...Themz a lot of blade on a small looking kinfe no?? That's what blew me away when I first opened one....massive blades...sure to impress all the babes at the Monroe Wal-Mart

LC, started to give you a call for breakfast last Sunday but was on a mission. Left here Saturday night and got to Orlando Sunday about 5pm; turned around Monday at noon and came back.

I don't think any of the micarta's are in short supply; but could be wrong.
