Just received these hot off the grinder! The Northfield line is truly beautiful. Check out the nickel silver frame and the new serial number location. GEC found a sweet spot to number these knives without defacing the bolster. Crisp half-stops on both closely fitted blades of this very thin pocket piece!

Very nice, Paul. Excellent color on the ivory! The 61 snakes in good figure are tough to find, but looks like you got a good 'un! A beautiful knife in any handle material!
This knife is for sale on my website.

Crack or fissure?
Looks pretty to me too, I just can't tell the depth of that fracture.
Sorry Earl.

They were getting near the "bark" on their ivory and had character lines in them. They offered them at a STEEP discount to the serialized models and noted the lines. For those mastodon lovers it seems like a nice break from standard ivory; for those that despise lines of any kind it would be a deal breaker.
