GEC did a 100-knife SFO single-blade 54 in crosscut mammoth tusk covers for this large dealer's third annual Christmas special event. The dealer owner supplied GEC with stabilized material for the covers. They were released with advanced warning about the time of release yesterday at 11 a.m. Central but without announcing the maker, model, or materials of the knife until they went live for sale.

Sellout was about two minutes.
 
Is Waynorth doing any SFOs soon?

I do not remember seeing something posted.

Seems it was part of their SFO from earlier this year, but kept top secret. Not even people that follow the seller very closely knew what was dropping until drop time.

That would make sense, since they had three cover variations for that SFO that didn't include mammoth, but it was the same pattern. For some reason the symmetry and simplicity of the equal end pattern with a single blade just really speaks to me.

neat!!! thanks for the info, ive been staying away from the groups and what not so was surprised to see 54s out of no where
 
When you Google that knife,they just refer to it as mammoth,but looking at the curvature I'm leaning towards tusk or sabortooth tiger.non the less it is cool configuration.

It's stabilized crosscut mammoth tusk, I asked Jason Thoune about it myself, and he provided GEC with the material, so he would know.
 
I love it. My two favorite knife communities. Too bad their site is forbidden. I am totally going to post my mammoth piece tho.
 
I would be bummed missing on this drop of mammoth 54 if I hadn't received so many great knives in the last little while.
