I would have to say the Burnt Stag is my favorite … but you're right, that Buffalo is sweet, and thanks to Greg at TSA I snagged a nice PB.
A smooth Ram's horn NF
would be beautiful …
Yep, just drawn to them whittlers …
Got a few Courthouse that I still need to post too …

Earl, those are beauties! If that PB was the result of slim pickins, I'd like to see the fat stufF!
Both of those are really primo - haven't seen many Red Stag that look nearly that good in this lot - nicely done!

I agree with Bob and Edge; those are pretty sweet whittlers! The red stag is one of the best I've seen.

For those of you that have them, how are the springs on these knives? I love the pattern and I'm considering grabbing one.

On the softer side than typical for GEC. Main blade is a bit harder to open than the secondary blades which are real easy. On a 1-10 scale, with 10 being a nail breaker the main is around a 3/4 I'd say.

"On a 1-10 scale, with 10 being a nail breaker" what is your preference for everyday use?

I like them firm. For example, like on most GEC 73s & 56s and some of the older Case knives I have from around the late 60s & 70s.
