This was the one I was waiting for. Thankfully I saw the email right away and snagged it.

Re: Great Eastern #86
It will be interesting to see the 86's lined up, each with a different handle and have the owner comment about ant difference with in hand feel.
Stag certainly suits a 'heavy duty' Jack but with some knives jigged bone or ebony wood suits it even more than stag.
I think stag will be the most attractive of all the #86 handles but we need a few collectors with one of every handle to let us know.

Re: Great Eastern #86
Stag 86 came today. I will line them all up for another shot of all of them. I still think my favorite is the Bloodwood. The stag has a better grip but the in hand feel is best on the bloodwood, for me that is.

Re: Great Eastern #86
I was up for one of the stag handled editions of the 86's (I really like the 86's and I really like stag so......) but I was otherwise engaged when the email was sent out and didn't see it until after they were all gone. After I saw the price, I was glad. Wow!

Re: Great Eastern #86
Thanks Q! These remind me of a true vintage heavy jack.

Re: Great Eastern #86
At least I got one, even if it wasn't a Stag variation. Love it.

I'm pretty sure the days of getting any GEC multi-blade knife for under $100 are long gone now.

Re: Great Eastern #86
"HEADS UP !" More #86s are going out to dealers this week. Some dealers have not received their first batches yet. GEC did come up short on Stag scales for the #86. GEC made some stabilized white natural bone #86 Oil Field Jacks to fill in the orders. GEC will release a #86 Charlie Waynorth "White Jacks" at Rendezvous 2020. Here is a picture of the new Jack #86 stabilized white natural jack are going around to certain dealers. Don't hold your breath on finding one of these.

The Smooth White Bone looks Perfect. Makes me think about getting an 86 re-handled in Ivory.
