Thanks Johnnie____buying another one, is your choice as you can see,they just keep on,keepin' on,making another beautiful GEC knife,for you and I,to ask ourselves that very question ?????

PM sent to ya',

Thanks for the PM, Monk.

I ordered a #72 Red Wine, so I'll wait for it's arrival, and then we'll wait together for the Elk Stag.

Hey Johnnie_________you won't be disappointed********these two,came in the mail today__both are stainless 440C__the Tuna Valley Stag,is my first ""4 blade stockman""_____the jiggin' on the lockback is awesome,and they dyed the bone,all the way to the bolster ( which looks better to me)____hoping yours arrives soon !!!!!____Monk

Hows the edge on the #72 Monk?
I'm hoping to give mine some good pocket time.

It's got a ""paper slicer "" edge , straight out of the tube________ ____it'll make ya' a great EDC !!!!!!

I really like that jigging pattern on the red wine bone; mine's on the way! Along with it is a Tidioute 72 in ruby red bone; I bought one of these but sent it off to be rehandled. I liked it so much, though, I got to thinkin' I maybe shouldn' o' done that, so... I ordered another!

YOU KNOW I LOVE THAT RED BONE !!!

Beautiful knives Monk, gets me excited for mine.
In hand, which stag do you like better?

I really like the Elk Stag, and I'll be getting one of those for my B-day, so the wait begins.


P.S.
How many #72s have you carried, and how do they ride in the pocket?
Thanks Monk

Very nice Monk,love that Elk!!!

Happy Birthday johnny you get the clip or the wharny ?

Thanks Earl, it will be a while before the actual date, but those knives weren't gonna last.
I got a Red Wine with a clip, I figure I'll use it till my B-day, then I'll put the American Elk Stag to the test, it's also a clip.
I thought about the warnie, but I already have two #53s with wharncliffes, and That clip just looks too perfect for my needs.

I hope to have an EDC review on these knives, I should have the Red Wine today.

Any for you my friend?

Monk,

Those 72s in elk and stag are fantastic. Would love to see pics of them closed to compare the wharncliffe & clip profiles.

yep johnny,ordered elk,stag and red wine,just ain't got 'em yet.....ohhhh the waiting LOL

Really look'n forward to see'n that Red Wine in person,looks from pics like a real beauty,love the jig'n!!

You like a nice cigar johnny? Send me your addy I'll send ya a couple for your Birthday bro.

Do you think they will come out with a 440 spear blade in elk or stag?
Mark

On this run Mark? I'd say no. But I have learned in a very short time,anything is possible with GEC.

Great #72s guys!! I'm waiting for my clip bone, elk, and stag trio to come in as well.

#72 440c Spear in American Elk. Now there's an idea!! A #72 Spear in Ebony was my first GEC and it has been all downhill for my bank account since then.

Thanks guys____mine should be in hand,Monday

Johnnie____I've only carried the (the two) stags below,with clip blades , but handle won't make a big difference to me___the easy open, flat size,and tight lock-up,will be the same on both___this is the first ""Elk Stag"" that I've seen em' use,with a lot of ""knobby texture"" and deep lines____looks really good to me___Monk

heres a quick close up,so you can see the jig'n, and color

need a lil more cloud cover for blade shots

Earl, that thing is beautiful.
I can't wait for mine to get here, I'm guessing my mailman doesn't like knives because he doesn't want to deliver mine.

Great pics too, cloud cover, or no.

Ta Da.

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha........real nice, well played make'n me hungry bro.

so whatta you think about the knife,that bone is pretty sweet huh
