That's a nice 81! I've seen an ebony GEC before that blew me away that had dark reds running through it. I know they got slabs on site they get their scales from and am just wonderinf what this run's going to look like since they are specifically calling it out as streaked. I'm personally really hoping to see those dark reds again.
How you find the pull on your 77.
The ebony 77 on TKC had a note that said something like "we've received gabon ebony and streaked ebony and will be shipping them our randomly, let us know in the notes if you prefer one over the other."This one was sold and labeled as “Streaked Ebony,” and was decidedly un-streaky.
, there's no way anyone was slowing down enough to put something in the notes. Those bad boys were gone in 60 seconds, just like Eleanor...
That's really disappointing, was hoping it would be like the 2017 and 2024 78's or even the 86's,I don't have alot of experience with with owning the 77's but from past revies they seemed they had great walk and talk.Well mine finally arrived and much like what was reported above, the action on the main is very disappointing. Out of the tube there is no opening snap with a pull of four. After flushing and oiling it still won't snap open on it's own. I can't believe they would let something like this past QC.
Pen blade is as you would expect with good action and snap. I think I will talk to my dealer and maybe GEC as this ain't right.
Great looking knife but functionally not so much.
After flushing and oiling It will open from here with a nudge but with a whimper of a snap.

Ya it's hard to go wrong with ebony.i think streaked ebony would darken just from use,hand oils,and sunlight light. All the old ebony covers I have are all dark black,I haven't come across an earlier 1920- 1950 ebony that's light,but I'm sure there are alot of members that have alot more knives that could prove me wrong.
My dealer just told me he has one of these beauties for me! Next week can’t come soon enough
