I ended up with two stags and one will need a new home. PM me for pics and info..
...and then there was one...
Got my stag today and the only nitpick I could have is I wish the sides were reversed! Pretty pleased with this one

The Blue Camel Bones were a DLT SFO that sold out pretty quickly.Nice blue camel guys. I looked and DLT doesn't list them. Not as sold out; they're just not listed. You guys get early ones or something, or just a small run that was spoke for?
Agree with the sentiment here. These 62's are an awesome pattern! I haven't chased multiples from GEC runs in a long time, but these I haven't been able to resist. Have these three and a Pocket Carver en route.

Extremely happy with all three. I was expecting some variation in quality between them, but they're all done really well!
Thanks Jordan@DLT for replacing my green camel with this fine blue example. Smears on the blade are factory oil.

Pile side is attractive too. Color scheme reminds me of original Mustang GT350s.

Because I am OCD about blade rub, I rarely buy knives that have blades that open from opposite ends. This one has no rub, great job GEC. An overhead look shows why. The pen blade is manufactured slightly krinked and has with an extra liner on the pile side that is removed from just inboard the tangs to provide clearance.

The extra liner is a little more visible from the bottom. Fit and finish is excellent, even under the scrutiny of my macro lens / DSLR.

Great work - I think this is one of the more difficult captured projects. Cutting through end grain that way is a challenge.![]()
Pocket carver
Thank you. Do you know any websites for projects like this? Want more inspiration.Great work - I think this is one of the more difficult captured projects. Cutting through end grain that way is a challenge.
That type of project is called a “whimsey”. A google search will turn up thousands of them. They all follow similar ideas; captured pieces, moving parts, chains, knots, gears, hooks, rotating features... and sometimes long examples that combine all the ideas. These tend to be the types of carving I enjoy, and it usually gets the added benefit of the “wow!” Factor.Thank you. Do you know any websites for projects like this? Want more inspiration.
I think you win the "largest 62 collection" prize...I'm very pleased with the 62 run... There is one more easy pocket I might get..... Now the pocket carvers will start to arrive.... GEC has done a wonderful job on these....
