Yeh Mike__________when you got that Trapper,a few weeks back,that's what got me to lookin' at that Snakewood

____it's almost like the stag, every handle, has it's own personality

Hey Monk I did the same thing, I saw a pic and said "Dang I've got to have that". Then I bought another

Something about the snakewood makes it look so classy. You sure picked out a good one

Big Monk-
I was wiping down the GEC #66 Jack knife snakewood and cut my finger. I noticed that both blades didn't close completely, leaving the tips exposed. I didn't notice this at first. I sent chris an e-mail at GEC, hope they fix it. Just wanted to let ya know in case yours is the same.

Thanks Mike _____i checked mine,and I too could,feel the tip of the main blade,slightly. Seems to be,this is being noticed, more often,lately ( the ""high"" blade )--maybe,someone in quality control,has gone to sleep ????

Nice Bob_________but I'm thinkin' you meant a #73 and a #53 huh????/
I had a feeling,ya' would find, a Red Stag,after I posted them photos

______and GunstockJack ( Barry ),found him one too !!!!!!!!!!
They are a pretty knife

No misprint Monk, it's a single blade 23...one of 19 made that year.
The 53 is a bit redish on one side, but I hesitate to call it a red stag
and I don't see any listed for 07....

OK

____________by the way,do you have some red stag,in some of the earlier made knives???06-07 maybe???---------thought I saw some, in the early photos,from yours or Barry's photos ????????

Monk, I don't have any from 06 or 07...I know some were made but they are scarce. Somewhere on this thread I saw one
or two...I'm thinking gmusic has a few...I would like to know more about the Stag and Red Stag on the earlier knives, if
anyone has any info it would be much appreciated.

You guys have just blown my mind over these GEC knives! I obviously have several from the first 2 years but there are many here that I will be on the lookout for in future shows I attend, I am so screwed now

Some of my 2006 GECs, this is the Northfield UN-X-LD Herringbone but much lighter in color than most you will see.

Then of course the GEC Rogers Green Tea with Acorn shield.

And the GEC Sheffield Tobacco with Acorn shield.

Big Monk- I had both of those on my watch list. If I hadn't bid on a couple others, you might have had to out-bid me on those.
They are nice ones.
