Just Received - GEC Congress
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2009 2:48 pm
Just got my "knife of the month" for July. I can't afford to spend much on knives right now but when you see something special it's really hard to pass it up. I think most of you know what I mean! 
I splurged on a GEC Abalone Congress - this one is #28 (out of 40 or 50 or so).
Gorgeous handle material, I tried to take a good pic, but of course it's much better when you can turn the knife and catch the light wtih those handle slabs, really wonderful.
I also like how the Blade Etch has the "LVS ABALONE" incorporated into the Logo - don't think there are any other of the series that has that.
IMO this one was a very nice choice to add to my collection. Anyone else lucky enough to get one?

I have the Abalone 73 trapper but not the Congress or the Barlow. Those 2 are on my list. Congrats on a great one!
