thought I was keeping track........didn't know about the 85 though,thanks for posting this Jim.

I got these two____I think,I saw,where you were getting one of each, Jim ????? is that right ??? ___ya' gotta' post some photos,when they arrive

Well if anyone knows of anything else let us know if there's any missing.......and Monk (one of each..hahahaha..I'd have to sell your knives to do that)of the short runs I only picked up on the Farmer with stag and brass....brass has been done previously on the Bradford Bullet Scout and Pioneer version but never with stag...should look pretty darn nice.

And I did grab a Buffalo #85 2011/2012 .......Earl there's still one out there if you picked up on the other #85's

There was also one 235112ECL in Black Plum made. I was told that there will be more "orphans" made up in a few weeks.

Did anyone get any of the 23's in Red Stag? I'd like to see some photos.

The Red Stag on this NEW #23 is decent.........but sure not like the 2009 #73 I grabbed on the same order.

IM

Barry..

I think I can almost reach out and grab that #23 from your photo...the color looks great.......and Trevor on ya...the Red Stag on the #73 can't ask for anything better than that...

Great snags Trevor! Looks like you got both types of red stag that I've seen. Nice!!! Is the 23 a slip joint or locker?

Slippie........here is a pile side pic.

IM

Teach me something. What is a slip joint? Does half stops have anything to with it? Is a locker a lockback?

thanks a lot
JWW

That's a beauty, Trevor.

A slippie or slip joint just rides on the spring. GEC makes two types of lockers, a liner lock and a lockback. Both liner locks and slippies can have half-stops which is a squared off tang. A lock back is a different mechanism altogether.

Thanks Jim, I got lucky that day with the light, and I gotta admit, I stole the camera angle from Earl.

LOL..........Barry you stole nothing,GREAT PIC of a BEAUTIFUL KNIFE brother,you nailed the lighting,shows the knife very well imho. I dig the end cap version

Trevor you are amassing quite a collection friend Great pick ups,2 totally different takes on Red Stag but both OUTSTANDING!!! Congrats brother

This one just arrived Brass Bolstered Farmer ( brass liners, lanyard hole and pins) ...........couple interesting things, one being no shield and secondly check the way it's serialized 2-7

UUURRRGGGHHH - I Knew that one sounded nice!
Should definitely have snagged one of them.......

IM

WOW!!! That is sweeeet Jim Congrats on that score

Pictures aren't quite as nice as I would have liked them..so I'll try later in between the snowing...........

Very nice Jim!

very nice find Jim !

these are turning out to be very nice knives all around!

Boggs, that brass farmer is sweet!

I have one of the Single blade end-capped Scouts in Ebony on the way …

I'm thinkin' the plain bar shield with end cap in Ebony should look pretty sweet … we'll see …

~ Edge

They are sweeet!!!

Yep, that's about how I pictured it …

Thanks, Barry!

~ Edge

There is also a Northfield 235211T Red Stag. I hear there were 11 made.

Here's one of the #73 end capped Ebonys with 2010 blades. Anyone know how many of these were made?
