I 'broke down' earlier on today after seeing a maroon micarta Tidioute 97 posted in another thread. CK had them at lowest price so i clicked 'buy'.
I have a Northwoods reserved and it will be interesting to see how the Tidioute blade with Full Flat Grind will cut compared with the full saber grind on the Northfield.
Very 'smart' looking Beaver Tail there Mark.

I want to. I carry it around the house some. The bareheaded, long pull/cut swedge & pen is my absolute favorite configuration of all the #15s made, and those happen to be the rarest as well. I'd Like to find another to keep minty before I put this one to legit use.

It looks nice for sure, I just dont like it near as much as I thought I would. The blade size/configuration doesn't bug me, but the weak spongy action on the secondaries combined with the half stops, really turn me off. The main has a near perfect action, but the secondaries are just meh. I'll probably be letting it go some time before too long.

Autumn bone 97 arrived today. It sure looks pretty with the jigged cherry wood 97 sitting next to it.

Travis, the colors in your 48 are fantastic. Are they computer enhanced ? or is that how it looks in person ?

I was 'just looking' at the GEC knives in the AAPK store and i saw a rather nice stag 4 1/4" Equal End Stock knife, 538308. The price was reasonable enough but it did say "or best offer" so i sent a reasonable offer and the kind seller "Gary" accepted.
I like the early GEC's because there was more variety of pattern 'tweaks' and handle types. Many of the early knives are the more complex patterns, more demanding of the cutler's ability.
Here is this knife, seller's pics. I just bought it today, a good day to buy a knife. :D

Thanks Greg & DL. Yes the bolster to bolster stag is why i bought it. Some of the best GEC stag is on the early knives.

Oregon Knife Collectors Association knife show find. There it was at Gunstock Jacks table and Barry told me he had it custom covered, very nice popcorn black and brown and oatmeal off white stag. Not factory antler. Also a custom shield. Anyhoo, thanks Barry, fabulous piece, been looking for the right 48 with a good Wharn. If this had been sold online at auction it would have been twice the price.

72 with the pen blade. Very useful knife with the small and large blades. Bone is pretty nice as well.

Thank you, Ivoryman. I am mighty happy with that ebony 4-blade. GEC did top notch work on that ol' boy.
