Thank you.That red stag is AMAZING!
That's a wonderful trio Fort especially the black and white!
Thanks Planterz! I've been wondering why we don't see red stag used more often.... Whoah. Both are nice, but that red stag is amazing!
Score!!!Time to bring this thread back to the front page!!
I recently was fortunate to find a large source of Early unused GEC knives that will be offered to me for sale. They are all from the 2006 to 2009 production range and I feel blessed to have the chance to purchase them. The current owner bought up a large variety of the early styles and materials. He offered me a chance to see/purchase 12 of what I am told is well over 200 early GEC's. So you know there will be a lot of #23's and #73's. I purchased 10 of the 12 he offered with intent keep some but just to get some out into the GEC collectors world as well.
Had to pay market value but it is gonna be fun to get them out of deep storage and pick and choose. In the batch I bought this time there were some neat ones. Cant wait to see what else comes out of it. Anyway , here are the 23's and 73's from this batch.
The first 2 pictured are single blade 23's in horse cut walnut bone(Bronco Charlie) from 07 and red spiral buffalo horn from 08.

Thank you very much. It has to be one of my favorite wood covers. As much as I like plain black ebony covers I really like seeing wood with lots,of grain and variations in color.Nice. Usually I like ebony when it's as black as possible. But the mixed brown on black on this one is quite striking.
