Appreciate the compliments gents. Haven't yet gotten around to taking it out for anything but pictures, but maybe this will be the first Stag I commit to carrying... or maybe not....

Very nice example you’ve got yourself there :thumbsup:

I know the #55 and #56 are the same pattern except for the #55 having half stops and some models a liner lock. Does anyone have amplifying information on why GEC chose to build/release these two models this way? I’m not bias either way, although a half stop has saved me from a nick a time or two.

I’ve always also wondered this about the #38 Whittler and special as neither model has half stops. I originally attributed this ( in my own mind ) to the split spring design in the Whittler, but that doesn’t hold true for the single spring on the 38 special.

I’ve got a strange relationship with Stag. I’ve had a handful of very sought after Stag GEC’s, but never actually carried one... I parted with all my examples and I currently only have one other, an older #73 with nice popcorn and the classic UNXLD shield that I choose to display since Stag went shieldless.

This #56 is a great example and brings me back to my years carrying a Case dogleg trapper. Will it stand the test of time and remain in one of my pockets? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Whewww, I was able to land a single blade Appaloosa as well! It was top of the list for me after they announced it as the cover choice change. Can't wait to get it in hand.

***edit, not my pics, but the one I snagged today.***

Came home to the FINEST GEC Ive ever owned. I was never a fan of appaloosa bone, but when jigged was changed to it in the production schedule, I figured I'll roll with it.
So glad I did. And no, it's not giraffe bone:cool:.

Pulls are much stiffer than my single blade mustard Tidioute.
Everything is flawless. WOW. 11/10!
I'll try for some sun pics sometime. There is a hint of purple in there...
Edit: thank you collectorknives!

I am glad someone likes the Mardis Gras... :rolleyes:

Makes me shudder, personally. ;)

(Though I will admit, the shield is pretty cool)

That's one of the nicest Appaloosa bone knives I've ever seen. Congrats on that one! -Lance
