Thanks' guy's...you know what they say..."boys and their toys"... :lol:

These are some very well built knives, the action on them is very smooth, the leaf spring kicks the blade out quick with a solid lock up and I can open and close it with one hand.

Now if they would just make one using the 23 or 42 pattern... :D

They're now showing sold out, so I just grabbed the last Pumpkin Patch auto.

Thanks guys, and WelderBob in particular, for the heads-up! I've been wanting one of these for a long time, and lucky for me, I've always admired GEC's Pumpkin Patch acrylic.

Edit for another heads-up: This site-- http://nicnac.net/contents/en-us/d107_S ... _sale.html--seems to have the older smooth bone and stag autos in stock, but they ain't cheap.

Congrats Corvus,

I think that Pumkin patch is one of the nicest acrylics along with the Copper Snake they came out with. Mighty fine knife my freind..... Bonehead ::tu::

These things are nicer than I expected. I used to collect high-end autos, and the smooth action and tight lock-up on the GECs is right up there with the best in my experience ::tu::. The cap head screw "button" looks a little makeshift, but it definitely gets the job done. Thanks again for the heads-up.

Great pictures...the air here is already beginning to feel a change, Canadian Geese are starting to fly over in a southern direction and now pumpkins are on the vine or at least on a hood...

Wow - thanks again, Guys. I'm really enjoying this little auto; it's downright addictive. I wish my #72s locked-up as solidly.

I guess the background does look a little like a car hood. It's actually just a piece of glossy paper. :)
