I finally got my Toothpic. I think it was worth the wait. These do have a good hand feel.

A few I've had re-handled...I'm curious to see how GEC's elk stag looks.
These are not stainless...2 Northfield's and 2 Tidioute's.

My first GEC elk stag;
I was a little disappointed with this knife when it arrived, as I was expecting more grain or bark, but I'm warming up to it. It sure does feel good in the hand!

Well now I know where my knife ended up at. Some how it got lost in the mail. Would you please return it to your post-man and have him send me my knife?
I have been looking for one that has good looking Elk on both sides.

Well I did not wait on this one, but I sure had to pay a lot to get it.
Perhaps to much, but she is mine and on the way to live in IL.
Does any one know how many Factory Test Production Run they made? Elk Stag Jack 735108
This one is # 3
GREAT EASTERN #735108 American Elk 35 pcs. serialized
Factory Test Production Run no pcs ?
Is it 35 pcs. or 6 pcs?

Don't know the exact number Ken, But mine is marked 35. I bought mine from Perry Miller aka. (Knifekid) when they first came out and he told me these 1 blade trappers would be the shortest run in the American Elk handles.

I thought he told me there were only 30 something made but I can't be for sure on that Kelley

Gunsmoke47; the web sit says 35 but I am not sure if it is 35 of the knives and 6 factory run knives. or if they only made 35 and all are factory run knives??
Thank you for your input all
Ken
