Probably the last GEC for a while...future purchases are gonna get that EXTREME VETTING I keep hearing about. :lol: Of course if they run some 2-blade 77 Barlows in the middle of summer that can easily change. ::paranoid:: ::smirk::

Thanks Colonel, I felt the same way when I unwrapped it today. ::handshake:: Though it's funny - right now GEC has tooling for more Congress patterns than Case! ::uc:: I love the variations the 13s offer, so now I've got some choices when I want to get out the fancy stuff. :mrgreen:

I will at least see if any of them become available after pre-orders are filled, but I'm not committing to anything. The frame is a bit of an in-betweener for me, I generally prefer the 4+" long trappers like the Case 54 or Queen 19. The blade selection is great, though, so I can probably be convinced. :lol:

Gsmith, love to see the finished product when you're done with those Amber slabs. Love Amber bone and stag. They have potential.

Iman I am going to put the amber camel bone on 1970 Case sodbuster with a liner lock. I haven't decided on the stag yet but I will keep you posted.
