These ones all belong in the favourite category. The 48 in particular has some of the finest stag I have. Bear Lake, Bear Lake, Fremont, Fremont, Hawthorne.

Fixed that. I would love to add more KSF stag to the pile. Forrest, Bullet and Burnside I covet. Thanks for all the comments, I'm just the caretaker of these currently, huge thanks to GEC, KSF andof course Dave Shirley for starting NORTHWOODS. There is a great interview on the KSF blog with Mr. Shirley about NW. Here is a link:

Wow Robobus, killing me, who wouldn't love to own that line up? Love a good Northwoods and when they are sporting great stag like those, well then it's a thing to behold. Those are A+ grade antlers man. Congrats. Love the Freemonts and the Bear Lake. Sweet.

Here's another one of my favorite GEC knives...#61 in American Elk...that will probably be going on the eBay auction block next Sunday. So, all you GEC fanatics might want to take notice (my auctions always start at $9.99 with no reserve).

Another favorite is this American Elk Wharncliffe #72 (which is currently listed on my eBay site).

Question is: how many GECs will I have to sell in order to pay for my new solar water heater?

Q, i'm going for the elk 61, likely along with 27 other AAPK'ers. It is a great pattern and the elk antler has a mammoth look to it. Deep pockets are gunna be needed. What a smart looking knife.

Hmmm. Good question, you must be very pragmatic to consider selling these beauties for utilities. hawaiienergy.com says with rebates it will take 2k to purchase. I think these will sell in the $3-500 range, possibly more as they just do not come up for sale. My answer is 5 stainless elk GEC.

Interestingly, that's exactly the number (5) I have dedicated, i.e., committed to sacrifice, for this project....but I can see I'm already being optimistic in that regard. My #48 just sold for $250...which is a nice start and I ain't complainin'....now, if only I had ten more just like it.

I don't know if this is your style or not but for your 3rd, may I suggest a #48 Improved Trapper. Last I looked there were still a few floating around out there. Can you tell it's one of my favorites? :)

One of the all time favorites, '13 smooth ivory bone 85 Bullet End EZ open out for oil change, clean, wax, buff, snap a few shots, carry around, maybe switch it in to blade of the day. Bought it years ago from Volcano/Hurricane Q who gave me a great deal and great knife and great memory, hope you're riding out the storm safe and sound and thanks again for the sweeeeeeet knife.
