Thank you Dylan. Yes it is. Of course I won’t know if I get this one til it arrives, but this one looks like antique Bone.
Yes, I too am anxiously waiting to get mine. Very curious about exactly what color(s) the accents will be.
Thank you, Peter. May you also get one, eventually.

That is a beautiful knife. Guess I'll have to wait til someone decides they don't want theirs... missed the "reserve" on this one.Thank you, Peter. May you also get one, eventually.
This Just In...
They were kind enough to send images of my knife. It’s not the rotten banana look, but I’m quite happy. The Autumn Gold Bone for my tastes, is a beautiful color. The cover looks like it will be smooth the touch.

Thank you Bill. I did request after not believing that I got one. But They’re very efficient in packing up orders as they come in, so by the time they got my request, it was too late. Still very happy as I Hope most will be. This wasn’t a reserve 92. It was from a quick drop.Just curious - did you specify anything regarding the knife scales in your order for the knife?

Because it is a two blade knife. Most GEC collectors want a 3.5" to 4" closed knife. I bought the #92 elderberry and I am waiting on the camel bone #92. I would be buying every one if they were in single blade. That goes for the #86 knife too. GEC made 400 each on the #29s and those are still around. GEC goofed on the snakewood/bloodwood quantities . GEC dealers are Stuck with #29s ! GEC made too many #97s. The #93s were the perfect knife. GEC should made more choices in 600 quantities. GEC is making more numbers in the #92 than the #93 run. I said Dealers will be stuck with some #92s for two years. And everybody laughed ! #92 Turtle shell acrylic knives , those will be slow sellers like the #66 turtle acrylic knives. Look at the 44s , OD micarta two blade knives all over the GEC web-sights. I know the #12 toothpick single blades were in low numbers and those did not fly. I think buyers want a little beefier single blade style knife. I want to see more GEC#23 , #42 , #43 , #47 , #63 ,#64 , #72 , #73 , #74 , #76 , #77 , #78 , #83 , #85 , #92 , #93 , and #99s in single blades. More knives in liner lock , lock back , and swing guards styles would be nice. I would really go fool for #85 no heal bolster single spear blade liner lock knives. I won't hold my breath. GEC needs to quit making these weird acrylic acquired taste knives. Go with some beautiful rich color acrylic choices.mail call. the f&f is very good. idk why these 92 are still in stock.

I think there is some accuracy in your assessment.... although I would question your conclusion that most GEC collectors want a single blade knife. From the comments I have read in several different threads, it sounds as if more folks really like the two-blade, and even 3-blade stockman/whittler choices. Having one blade sort of limits them, where having multiple blades gives them the clean/dirty blade option, among other benefits.
