Finally the #78 has landed also in Sweden!
It's been a long wait and in the meantime I have drooled over the pictures of this jawsdropping run of #78's.
It sure is a great model and here's mine:
I'm very pleased with the knife and the opportunity to get one in stag that met my wishes.
Regards
Mikael

This is my first foray into GEC, and I have to say, I really dig these 78s. I really wish I could have snagged one of the Ironwood SFOs. I'll probably try to trade my Peach Seed for one if I can't buy one outright. Here's to wishful thinking.

That's as nice as they come! Paul was right yours was "well worth the wait".
Beautiful! They look good in a group. You definitely got in at the right time with the 78s.This is my first foray into GEC, and I have to say, I really dig these 78s.

Thank You and Yours have great colors!Mikael W that one is gorgeous. Great figuring!
Yes it was, but You and Kiro scored exeptionally well.Very nice Mikael, well worth the wait
Yes and there were so many beautie's to choose from or already gone, but regardless I'm totally pleased with this one.
When I saw this knife I decided at once and didn't even took the time to browse the alternatives.
A good move it seems as 3-4 more knives were gone before I was finished.
I think the quality of the stagcovers on this run are at an overall higher level than before.

You are absolutely right and stag is a favorite of mine for handles.
When I saw the build pic's of the stags coming up on the GEC site, I wished i could get one of those in the picture.
How likely is that?
Not much I realized, but look at the middle knife at the bottom and compare:
It's the same knife isn't it?
Anyhow, I'm very happy with this one.
Regards
Mikael

I think the dark marks on the production picture knife in the middle at the bottom run farther toward the ends than on the one you got, but you definitely got a nice one!

I think it's the same one. The texture runs closer to the bolster in the GEC photo because it hasn't been buffed yet.

You'll be glad you did. I think I like my cocobolo more than the stag version I just received.

Tell me about it sir, I succumbed to the tortoise SFO once I saw the photos (numbered bolsters were the clincher)...I'm up to like 9 of these 78's. This one fits right in with the shell family!

I'm not a huge fan of the acrylic covers but that photo is really appealing. I love the variety of shields, lined up like that.
