I just bought my first #81 knife. I love the tiny knot-hole.

Nice one. You can't go wrong with Osage Orange.
I picked up a a Northfield Ebony. Unique that this one has satin blades. Also back when Tube tops were hand written ::tu::
Really a great knife with a large spear or clip.

I have always liked moose patterns. Bought an Amber jigged bone and the weak springs bothered me at first. Flushed the joints and after a few weeks it's smooth as butter with good snap. Liked it so much I bought another in Gabon Ebony. The one in Ebony has more snap out of the box and was smooth from the start. I think GEC did a nice job on the 81 moose and I can't complain one bit. It's a constant in my edc rotation.

My buddy Sundog also got one in jigged green bone. I think I got the last one in amber bone as they went off the page at KSF right after I ordered. I ordered one on sale and got it yesterday. My first GEC knife and third Moose pattern. Really great knives.

I just received this same #81 Northfield antique amber jigged bone Moose knife. I got a light one. I also got the "Charleston green" 81 Moose. One shade darker and the scales would be black bone. The #82 stockman copperhead jigged bone was the best of the three that I received today. I am all caught up on NOS GEC knives. I am ready for some #23s.
