I'm excited for the natural bone. Lighter is fine too but I will be happy either way. Anxiously waiting to see what shield they end up with. Hounds tooth, hounds tooth, hounds tooth!

Wait! I can has beaver and bone!? I wasn’t expecting this. This would be the brown jigged bone right?

Looks like they put UN-X-LD on the two blade version so I’m thinking the same for the LL?

I guess I'm just weird, I'm LOVING the Woodland Micarta but dislike the shield.

I agree. I was looking forward to the Woodland Micarta on these, but that shield isn’t great.

I'm hoping they'll come up with something different for the Single Liner Lock model.

Who else paid for their jigged micarta today?

I'm excited! Hoping for stiff springs for a big time user.

I open my gator-snap knives with my feet and a GEC blade pick. I am hoping for medium stiff springs.

Two blades or one?
Edit: Must be the two blade, I see them dropping.

Jigged micarta?

Texoma · Jun 1, 2020

On past runs were the liner locks also bear traps to open

Yes, the springs were still very firm.

Grooved, maybe. If it's jigged, it's the weirdest jigging I've ever seen.

BuckShack · Jun 1, 2020

I believe each woodland micarta handle is clawed by a live bear

I don't have this one reserved, but I may break down.

Fingers crossed... I'm hoping for a BEAST of a knife.

Type of jigging, or not? Idk, I thought it was. I'm excited none the less.

The Antique Autumn Bone looks real nice to me. Now I’m excited to have one on reserve.

Edit. Oops. I’m wrong. My reserve is for the brown bone, not the antique autumn bone. Really took to this one.

I agree It does look nice, the natural bone to me looks better than camel bone, wish GEC would use it more
