I got mine! Beautiful! I got two cause I've learned that two is one and one is none. :D At least that is what I tell the wife!
 
I just received mine in the mail and all I can say is wow! Thank you to everyone involved on the Blade Forums side and to GEC for putting this together. Everything is perfect even the scale material which I wasn't sure of initially when ordering is really nice looking in person. Now I have to put it up until Santa comes as it is a gift from my wife :)

This thing looks and feels great!
A big thanks to everyone involved in this one.

I got mine in the mail today. Just want to say big thank you to all parties involved. The fluted bolsters and extended spring really came out great in my opinion, and set this off:)

Also this is one of the nicest "production" knives I own. Fit and finish is just excellent. It is tight and crisp, with great fit around shield and between scales and bolsters. Awesome job GEC.

Thanks all,

Casey

Me, too. :( At least I won't be getting turkey grease all over it :D Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
 
I got to see mine in the postal truck as I was leaving my apartment complex yesterday morning. I had no time to wait, I had to get on the road, so I'll get mind Sunday.
 
Nothing here yet. I look forward to this one. It will be my most expensive pocket knife.
 
I got mine yesterday and it looks great! Thanks to all involved for putting this together.
 
Mine arrived yesterday. Very pleased with how this turned out. I predict this one may be hard to let go of.
 
Picked mine up this morning. Main blade is easily pinch able. Over all fit and finish is good. Serviceable sharp out the tube.
Overall a classy knife.
Thanks to Spark and all the rest of the guys who made this happen.

Wife brought mine up yesterday as I spent most of my week at camp.

The knife was nice and centered. Fit and finish was good. GET did a nice job and produced a classy knife. Love the long Sheepsfoot.

Thanks to Spark and all those who made this happen.
 
Still waiting on mine, hopefully the trip to AK is just taking it an extra day or two.. Looking forward to this, it might open my eyes to a whole new genre of knives..
 
This year's forum knife is sleek and slender compared to last year's. I really, really love this it looks great! Thank you Spark, and everyone else involved.

This is only my second GEC. The first being a Tidioute Geppetto Whittler, which I like.....fine. But this forum knife just seems a real step up in quality. Love it. Now I see what everyone sees in them. It's my most expensive knife, and it may take me a little while until I stop babying it and just put it in my pocket and use it.

Does anyone know if the white micarta will change color with age? (I vaguely remember seeing pictures of old stuff with a little bit of yellowing) I like the way it looks now, but I wouldn't mind if it warmed up a little, either.

Once I get used to this level of quality, I fear for my budget. I sure like the looks of some of their smaller patterns.

I expect a little grubbiness from oily hands will mellow the colour quite a bit.
 
Got mine today! Possibly one of the best pieces GEC has done to date. They would do well to expand on this pattern!
