Picked up this peanut the other day. It has some nice scales which caught my eye.

Delivery today - Case small knife transport case, and 2 of the new smooth old red bone PVD knives. Still waiting on the matching Mini Copperlock, and orange synthetic Tribal Lock.

I know the Trapperlock doesn't fit the guidelines for the forum, so I won't post that one.

I'm assuming the Teardrop doesn't either because of the PVD blades?

edit - oops, question for mods, forgot to do the @ thing - Peregrin next time you are on, is my thinking in the sentence above correct?

Typical Case build quality...
Very slight gap at one liner, blades well-centered but not perfect, everything else is close to perfect.

Totally agree John. I would add that the main blade is rock solid, the Spey blade, if you’re looking for it, has a small amount of play.

I just doubled my faux tortoise collection.

This one arrived 2 days ago. Although I rarely have use for a corkscrew, I liked the blade combo, 4" closed length, and the wood scales were too attractive to pass on.
I'd estimate the pull on both blades at about an 8.5, no half stops. Hopefully they will loosen up a bit in time, I don't think this knife was ever used. The color and character
of the wood grain doesn't show as well in these pics as it does in hand. Both blades could use some sharpening although I think they are still factory edges, if I can do that
right I believe the flat grind main blade will be an excellent slicer.

Both blades on mine are tight, sorry yours are not.

It’s not a deal breaker, it’s very minor, guess I need to stop wiggling my blades!

It's only going to loosen them up further.

Buck 110 with Oak covers and a 5160 blade, sent by a very generous member who wants to remain anonymous.
Yes, it went on my belt after the pictures were took. Going to stay there until at least the rest of September ... unless I'm using it ...

Eka swede 90 it's a slipjoint, last weekend was fathers Day here in Oz. Recieved it late due to slow postage. But it's a goodun still had factory edge & will be a good slicer as a thin blade.

The latest arrival in my "stag jag".... Case half whittler... turns out it's an older one (1980 apparently, as it is a 75 year commemorative ) and is a single spring version. Very sleek knife. It also has the distinction of being the dullest knife I have ever received. I can push my thumb down pretty firmly on either blade and saw it back and forth, with no blood loss at all. I had a video of me doing just that, but I can't get it transferred to my laptop... yet.
I think I can remedy the "dull" issue, not sure about the video issue....

This bocote 73 scout trapper came in last week and really impressed how it turned out. The construction and finishing is remarkable. Highly recommend grabbing a 73 trapper from this last run if you’ve been on the fence about it.

It's here!

I like it a lot.
It's heavy, compared to this:

And really not terribly different from this:

But I'm glad I got it before they put them back in the vault. I'll be carrying it for a while.

Fine picture, one of GEC's many outstanding features is the high level of finish on their back springs and spring cut-off as you photo clearly shows.

I just realized I didn’t attach photos of the whole knife.
