Hello Knifer Buds,
I just received these from Mr. Horn over at Cumberland. #73's with Ram's Horn and matching serial #'s.
Have a good one everybody,
Richard
Dang, How did I get the order backwards?

Congrats, they look good to me
Are you going to save 1 and use the other one? I would feel pretty proud carrying one of those in my pocket

Thanks useem. But I'll probably put these away along with the 2006's I have. I have a few '07s I'm putting into EDC rotation.

Mpeg, those are really beautiful knives my friend. That rams horn is a great handle material I think.
I wish I had money for one of those now.

To be sure that that is a fine set of knives. I hear he has a couple more SFO's after these are gone, one in Ebony. One barehead and one endcap, I look forward to those.
I really enjoyed seeing GEC use Bocote, now one with ebony is in the works, they did a few in snakewood (22 I think) I would really like to see abalone, mammoth tooth and tusk. I may rehandle one of my 73's in Paua abalone, another in Gold Lip Pearl.
So many ideas, to little time.

I received my matching set of ram's horns yesterday. Good looking knives.
I'm also have a #73 with end cap done it mammoth tooth, and some file work. Can't wait to get it back.

That's great, you must show us pictures. That frame is just asking for tooth or tusk.

Thanks guys.
Hukk, Sqg1 - I agree, mammoth would look great on one.

Wow that is a great looking knife, probably my favorite out of all the GEC's. Thanks for sharing that beauty..

I appreciate it, Sunburst. These and maybe the burnt stag I have are my favs. Hard to beat a good lookin' stag.
