Perfect!
LOVE that bone!!!!! But not so sure about the shield. I'll have to mull this one over, and see if it grows on me.

This should put to rest the whole "rotten banana" conspiracy... All I can say is... Excellent!
Those look beautiful! The camel bone came out great...I just hope they don’t have the matchstriker pull. I know, I know...to each their own, but I don’t find it appealing.

The canvas micarta looks like a real solid user.
Looks so nice with the "backwards reverse oval"!

I wondered what was wrong with that oval.... it just looked wrong somehow. Now I know why....
I DO like the OD green, though. So many choices....

I think what we are seeing as black will buff off. Looks a lot like smooth autumn gold bone.
They will probably call it something else... something that is totally unrelated to it's actual color. They've been on a oil kick lately so probably something to do with oil too lol.

Ryan, I agree with Bax, That's impressive, thanks for sharingIf I was smarter, I'd wait a few more weeks to take a photo like this, but I had to do it when I had them all out.

That's my speed right there. Though they are all looking good for sure. Still looking forward to seeing how the TFG SFO turns out. If the etch isn't tacky I might try for that one too. If it is, I'll be happy with my green micarta.The canvas micarta looks like a real solid user.

Both just arrived today. My 92 is absolutely awesome...dark but with just enough character to suit my tastes 
The wraparound spring and shield are both GEC firsts for me!

- what are your thoughts on the 92 as far as pull weight and walk/talk??

The size, the shield, the domed pins, the wraparound spring for the coping, pull strength and the nice bone make this one of, if not the best, GEC two-blade jacks. For personal preference I would have a clip or drop point main with a mark side coping in front, but that in no way detracts from the quality of the package. Mine is tip top.

On my example, 5 on spear main - I can pinch it open. 5.5-6 on coping secondary.
Walk & talk on each blade is very nice. Crisp to half stop and then to full open (and vice versa) on each blade.

Wow, nice. I have one of these on reserve, so I'm really interested to see how that bone turns out when finished!
