For sale today is my last GEC, the favorite I've held onto for many years, and through many rounds of collection thinning, because it's such a fantastic knife. GEC produced just 249 stainless Vipers in 2014, and of the 110 with micarta covers only 35 were serialized. These don't come up often anymore. 
2014 GEC #47 stainless Viper - SOLD (was $215) - Maroon micarta covers, 440C stainless blade, now-retired acorn shield, serial #34 on the mark-side bolster. Superb walk and talk, can easily be pinched open. Backspring flush at open and close, proud at the half-stop, with no gaps I can see. In excellent condition, lovingly cared for and maintained, but not new or like new. Shield and bolsters have the swirlies and light scuffs you'd expect from a knife that's seen pocket time, and the pile side bolster has a tiny ding right near the transition. There are minor signs of carry on the backspring; ditto a small amount of patina on the liners. Blade etches are clear and strong, and the blade looks like new; factory edge. Carried, but rarely used. Second owner. I no longer have the tube, just the knife.
I've included a full photo gallery with close-ups:
PayPal only, "Goods and Services" only, US only (and no proxy shipping), no trades. I'm covering USPS shipping and PayPal fees. Questions welcome via PM or profile post.
The first "I'll take it" in this thread followed by a PM (or post on my profile, if you can't send PMs) gets dibs. (Questions, "I'll take it if," and the like aren't the same as claiming a knife.) If I haven't seen your PM/profile post within an hour, I'll assume you changed your mind and the knife will be available to others.
Buyer affirms they're legally permitted to own what they buy. I reserve the right to do business with whomever I choose. Thanks for looking!
