1) 2012 Blade Forum GEC Trapper. I just received this in a trade with a very nice gentleman here on the forum, knowing I'd likely be passing it on, and here it is. He didn't use it and neither have I, so it is essentially new. The wax paper is very wrinkled and torn, but the gentleman from whom I bought it is kindly mailing me another sheet, which I will in turn forward on to the buyer. $125.00 WITHDRAWN

[Update: The replacement wax paper has now arrived and so this nice knife will be properly wrapped. Thanks again to Scott (qncygnnr) for sending this along. He is a great guy to do a trade with.:thumbup:]

I have put up one quick pic, but many far better ones, along with discussion of the knife, are found here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...-Knife-by-GEC-Who-s-Got-Em-POST-YOUR-PICTURES!!

Price includes shipping, USPS 1st Class, w/ Delivery Confirmation. PayPal or m.o. only. I’ll cover the PayPal fees, so please list it as a sale of goods, not a gift. (If you want insurance, let me know and I will figure your cost. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for items lost or damaged in the mail.)


1st unconditional "I'll take it", followed up with prompt payment.

By buying this knife you are stating that you are at least 18 years of age, and otherwise in compliance with all applicable laws regarding it.

U.S. only this sale.

I noticed that in the original pic above it looks like there may be a blade rub on the clip. No, just a reflection and my poor photography skills. I've added a couple more pics below.

That's from the thread following the build
Final size is 3 7/8"
Awesome knives...get some
 
John,

I'm not sure where the specs are listed. This thread has an outline of what they were going to be:http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...PDATE-7-17-2012-Forum-Knife-Knife-Description I have only seen it discussed as having 1095 steel so I assume that's what it is.

I just measured mine:

Length closed: 3 7/8"

Clip blade: 3 1/16" (2 13/16" cutting edge)

Wharncliffe blade: 3 1/16" (2 3/4" cutting edge)

Weight: 4.0 oz.

Hope this helps.

Andrew
