New GEC Cuban Bacote

I got one of the new GEC Cubans today. Its a Tidioute Bacote, 1 of 150. I carried today and it never did feel too heavy in the pocket. It's the same length of a Case Trapper. I put a Bacote Scout in the pics for size comparison. I also saw a Chocolate bone Cuban today, but I decided with the wood instead.

Johnnie, the chocolate bone was jigged the same, as far as I could tell, as the chocolate bone EC Scout that is out right now. It looked nice.

Here's a picture of the new 53 jigged Chocolate Bone. I think it's more of a chestnut color than chocolate.

I tell ya, the only one I don't like from the Cubans is the Cats Cradle, JMO.
That is a nice combo for sure.

I would love to see a candy stripe GEC. What do you guys think?

I really like that Bocote.

It is a nice wood to work with.
