...And a large Coke. GEC 97 Thread!

I received my 97 in maroon micarta. It’s as long as my Code 4! What an awesome pattern and the blade shape is outstanding. Draw cutting at its best!
 
Micarta 97 and 06

Doesn’t seem to be a lot of buzz about this knife, when the 06s came out that thread was blowing up. I wonder what gives?
 
Could this be a regular production Northfield #97 or is it some kind of SFO?

Sure looks nice! :thumbsup:

Interesting. If it isn't an SFO, I wonder if they did indeed run into problems with sourcing large enough Stag and this is the replacement?

I think you're on to something! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'll certainly keep my fingers, my eyes & my toes crossed -- It's a great looking knife! :D
 
I hope they do get some stag, thats what I was hoping to pick up out of this run, although that houndstooth shield looks pretty cool!
 
I still can’t get around the double pulls. It looks ok closed but when the knife is open it ruins the lines for me.
That said, I’m a big fan of that spear shield and the jigging looks great so I may need to reconsider.
Compare that to the bone Tidioute I have on order. It looks like my 5 year old ran the handles through his Play-doh machine.

It feels "significant" in the hand :) I love how pinchable it is though reminds me of the 43 w&t. Just a little too big for me to carry often but that thing is a beast and feels terrific to use.
