I just got the 4 1/2 inch burnt stag Northfield from Bryan

Impossible not to like this one, I love this knife and I think it is one of my best GEC knives.

No pictures yet, I can't find my camera, just being back from the Oregon show.

I will post a couple and one of the back end just for sunburst when I find where that camera walked off to

I wonder, how far can a camera with 3 charged batteries walk.

I was hoping you would get a good one Hukk. I received 3 in total. I sent yours sight unsean and then couldn't resist checking out the other two. One had a natural stress line on the mark side scale. Not a real big deal IMO.
The other one had mismatched scales. ...thin on the mark side and thick on the obverse side.

Other than that they look pretty good.
I'll post a picture of the one I have left while you look for your camera

Here's the Herd

Here are 2 of the Jumbo Trappers and one 3 3/4 inch trapper in Burnt Stag.
You can see where I wiped the oil from the blades in some spots. All good knives, no complaints. I just took some quick and lousy pictures

.
There's the front side and of course the sunburst view

I don't know that I would call those lousy pictures Hukk. GOODNESS those are some fine UN-X-LD stags

Dadgum whole herd of 'em.

I was tellin Johnnierotten the other day that the 23s have this whole different sound to the snap, feels like a big door shuttin. Love it.
Great GECs, thanks for the show.

Hukk very nice looking knives.
Grate photo's even Sunburst should like them.(Blades showing, Back side or Sunburst side, and no shadows)
Dang Sunburst is picky...

Is the stag the same thickness on each side of them(mismatched scales) ?????
GEC`S

Yep, the stag is the same thickness on each side. Looks like they tried to match color as close as they could. I know that in a production line that they can not sort through, say 100 scales on hand, but have to look at the first dozen laying there and pick a decent match. To spend time for a perfect match--well, they just can't do that. Time is a big cost. Fortunenately these match up quite well.

Thanks for your comments.
I think these are pretty well built, for a big knife, the 23's have great walk and talk. Any stiffer would be just to much, any less and you would feel a limp spot when closing. I think they hit the nail on the head with these.
Still looking for ONE more 73.

Certainly, they did a great job on these. They made some fine looking Burnt Stag knives. You got a good one there.

Oh, Oh...I have been nabbed by the AAPK Homeland Security...

It just so happens that I don't like Hukk anymore

He now has one more prettier knife than I do and I am mad at him about the whole situation...

His pictures look better than mine and that's another reason to get mad at him...
So there Mr. Homeland security..Now you know the rest of the story..
Ps Hukk - Great knives and fantastic pictures..I guess I missed them by not going to the first page of the post...Oops..

Thanks sunburst! I did pick up a nice Red Smooth Bone from sunburst. I am still searching for one more 3 3/4 Northfield GEC in stag as well as a couple others that are not here yet. I have a 4 1/2 and a 3 3/4 trapper. Be interesting to handle a couple in interior ivory. The 4 1/2 inch would be a great canvas to send to a scrimshander, enough surface area there to srimshaw just about anything I want down the road.
We don't cure any addiction here, we cater to it and help each other become more diseased.

Why give it up?
