That's one sweet knife...

...GEC's stag is hard to beat. It's nice that they leave the shield off on the genuine stags...to me
it look's better...JMHO...That's one I don't have Big Monk...look's like beans and cornbread for another week or two...

That's a beauty, Big Monk. I love GEC's stag.
TJ, the jacks aren't stiff enough to break your thumbnail.

I like the natural materials better than the man-made, but there are some awsome looking acrylics out there, and you can make them to look like what ever you want - I like the tortoise shell look, gives it that old-timey flavor.

Oh-oh, Big Monk. You got the fever! Only thing that helps is to buy another one.

You have extreemely gud taste my fren'. Nice choices. I usually try to stick with natural handle materials, still have nightmares about celluloid gas off. (No problem with the acrylics.) I really like the look of many of their acrylics and you picked my favorite!

Monk, those are sweet! In fact, I like the genuine stag LB so much (and, since I didn't have one) that after seeing your previous post, I had to order one! I'm getting No. 7.

I'll post a pict when I get it.

Well, I was afraid he'd sell out quick, I'm sure glad I ordered one! Now if I can just sneak it into the safe without being discovered by the little woman....

Big M, those are beautiful, and the pics will never do them justice, it takes a physical encounter to see their real beauty and craftsmanship.
Don, I thought about taking the plunge on one of these knives for a long time, but after your post I knew I'd be picking one up soon.
My brother knew I liked them and took the plunge for me,

so it's non stop from here.

Well guys, it came today. No. 07 is another beauty made by our favorite knife company! I like it a lot; it opens smoothly and locks up tight. Very nicely matched stag scales; GEC is definitely putting out the best Sambar stag material of all the US companies and possibly the world!
