I have purchased one..... It is somewhere enroute from Germany back to the United States... When I get it, it will have a lot of miles under it's belt....

Same here! I have no clue how long it will take to get here. It's a shame - it started its journey 35 miles from me, travelled to Germany, just to turn around and come back. I asked if GEC could just keep one there for me to pick up. Nope - understably so.

I'll be excited to finally get it either way.
 
Here are the 92s I've added to my collection since I posted the group shot. I am extremely grateful to the gentleman who sold me the JBF Champlin;). That is one I never thought I'd get!

I'm hoping the German SFO gets here soon, and if I'm lucky, I'll come across the 2 older ones I still lack...then I can take a break! Ha ha.

I have nothing but admiration for your dogged approach towards the collection of this pattern. Your collection and Jeff's (@black mamba) collection of 53s/54s(is it both?) is hugely inspirational and I applaud your efforts.

Do you aspire to collect all the Northwoods variants as well?
 
Found a dealer last week that had 5 or 6 of these baby’s left and was able to go threw the pictures and pick this one.
Very happy as I just pulled it out of the tube. Wanted thinner covers and most importantly matching covers and I got it with this one with a bonus of centered blades . Feels great in hand with no sharp edges and beautiful chocolate and Carmel colors that I love !
Picking your stag IMO is the only way to go as everyone’s taste is different.
I’m glad I gave this 92 in Stag one more shot :thumbsup:

Thanks Dylan! I do think Jeff's collection far exceeds mine, and I think there's a 25 and TC barlow collection that also puts mine to shame. I'm very proud of it though, and wouldn't trade it for any of the aforementioned ones.

I'm not planning on collecting the Ocoees (or Talons for that matter) per se, but I certainly won't pass up a good deal on them, or rule out collecting them altogether. If I get the blue sawcut to add to my giraffe bone, I'd feel pretty satisfied re: the Northwoods

My primary focus is on the two blade Eurekas though. I don't want to start another collection, or expand what I have until I feel it's complete.

The way I feel right now, I doubt I'll collect anything else after my 2 blade Eurekas, and just stick with the haphazard acquisitions of whichever new releases strike my fancy.
 
No mail today, but that didn't stop me from getting a new knife. Made the trip to Titusville, and got myself another camel bone 92. This is a (S)tore model, and I cannot figure out why, except maybe there's a small scuff on the blade spine that looks like it accidentally bumped a belt...I'm really not sure.

Either way, it's gonna get a patina and be carried and used a lot.
