It's probably cheaper than therapy.

The #74 Mustang with Stag covers that I traded Jeff

black mamba for my Swamp Green Gator Bayou Trapper came in today. Jeff should be getting the Gator in the next day or two. Thanks Jeff for the trade.

I've still got a Black Linen Micarta covered Bayou Trapper and a Desert Ironwood covered Bayou Trapper

Beaver pond drowns Yeti.
Gator lives in pond eats Beaver.
Yeti freezes pond kills Gator...or something...I can wile away the long lonely days until my Ironwood arrives.

GEC keeps making awesome knives. Beaver, gator, and yeti keep buying as many as possible. They no longer have money for food. All starve to death. GEC wins.

Picked up a Desert Ironwood, pretty much always try to go for the Northfield versions of a run.

My pleasure, ED. It's always nice when both parties are pleased with the deal. :thumbsup:

I'm sure looking forward to the Gator!

Well I've got a gator incoming! I was pretty stoked about about it until I noticed that 14 Barlow that was also in the mailer. Been trying to get a classy, simple, Barlow for a while now. Oh well. People splitting their attention is probably why I was able to score the reptilian beast.

That same thing happened to me and I never take the time to scroll all the way through the email because, you know, can’t waste any time when it comes to GEC drops! But I’m excited to have a gator incoming as well. Really hoping it’s in the color I hope for. I have a reserve for a 14 and am hoping I can snatch a coco Barlow.

Yeah, I'll be a little bummed if it's one that the dye didn't take to.

I don’t really post on here but figured I’d share my “user” 88 Ace.

I’ve been carrying it for a while to decide if it’s a keeper or not and ended up falling in love. Mine has a bit of a tough pull on the clip blade, but very substantial feeling and stable in use.

I love how thin the stock is on the clip blade, making it an excellent fruit slicer. Haven’t really had too much use on the lambsfoot blade yet but I imagine it will become the “utility” option. With either blade out, it’s very comfortable in hand but I especially love how the peak on the clip blade forms a bit of a finger groove when the lambsfoot is out.

Let’s just say this one doesn’t have to worry about being sold any time soon.

Looks great with some patina on it

E Elgatodeacero - Did you ever get your replacement 88 Desert Ironwood Bayou Trapper from your dealer ?? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks! I think so too. One of the benefits of living in a dry area is I don’t need to oil the blades and still never had rusting issues, even with 1095. Makes for a nice, natural patina.
