Just received my stag and a shout out goes to the USPS. It took less than 2 days from OK. to NY. A special thanks to Mike knifeswapper . This is “the one.” The stag is as nice as any I’ve had. No comments necessary. I’ll let the photo speak for itself. Oh, I also got a pin (highly unusual for me).View attachment 1450145

That looks amazing!

Hard to photograph with that matte finish. These covers definitely would look better polished.

Got my stag today as well. For those of you that saw my previous posts, Thanks to @Tuna I was able to get this one on a drop. Couldn't be happier with this one.

Those look wonderful to me. Great grain in the wood, satin finish.... perfect.

You got a good one Alan!
I'm happy for you my friend, great stag and as usual your pic shows it well, beautiful!

I think I too can say this Mustang is "The One".
Amazing stag, perfect size, fantastic fit and finish...

...GEC & Sambar Mustangs Rule !!!

.........gentlemen - what utterly gorgeous knives, stunning - congratulations, all

I’m even in love with the name

 

[redsparrow]

... I think the 73, 74 and 77 are GECs best frames. They are just pocket friendly and big enough to get large tasks done.

Those numbers are of significant importance around here!
They're used as a comparative standard when rating all others...

Congrats Alan, that looks fantastic.

That looks amazing!

Thanks guys. I was a little apprehensive because I bought it blind but they all look good.

You got a good one Alan!

Well, I finally won a Stag lottery! And I am so happy to see that many others also received superb examples. GEC did it again!

Of the stags I have seen including my own, yours is top class. We are all lucky to have one, but you really hit the jackpot!

That is exceptional, Alan!

I am still waiting on mine from CK - hoping it will get here tomorrow. If not, it will be Monday. I bought mine blind too but Mike hasn't disappointed me yet.

For the record, I got pins in both the Black Plum and Ironwood I got - not sure if that is typical of this run or not.

Very nice Greg, mine won't arrive till Monday. I hope it is half as nice as yours.

Hate to see this run end but keep the pics coming and I would also like to see the antique autumn natural bone closed pics to not show the club name.
The 74 Mustang is definitely up there in my GEC favorite list along with 73, 78, 85, 86 and of course my #1 favorite 77

 

[Rose and Thistle Custom]

Mine just got here and immediately went into my pocket. It's awesome!

FWIW I got pins in all of the beard knives I ended up with and the one 74. I'm seeing a lot of photos with them, too. I'm wondering if GEC is either increasing the ratio of pins, or even including them with every knife, now.

Recently, if there's a pin in one - there's a pin in all.
