Anyone else looking forward to the GEC #83?

Man I wish they did a stag clip Tidioute. I like the simple look without lined bolsters or a lettered shield, but ooh, stag . . .

You have to get over your dislikes and go for the STAG.

The model 83 really is a great office knife. Large enough to be useful but not large enough to scare anyone.

Unfortunately, a sad commentary on today's rampant PC mania. Will claw hammers be next?

How's about you keep your politics to yourself and we just talk about the knives.

Talking about knives, I noticed that KSF already has the ebony clip points on their website. That was quick ...

That would be my recommendation also. There's a forum for political discussion. This isn't it.

Uh oh...

Item has been presented to Canada Border Services Agency for customs review

Looks like I'll have to pay a little extra for my ebony when it arrives, and the cocobolo will probably beat it here now

Tell me about it ... I paid a total of $175 for my Tortoise Shell Acrylic #83. Knife, shipping, customs fee, value added tax. Insane, I know.

My goodness! I had no idea. That's incredible.

 

[burningcrow]

Darn, the orange bone DOES look slick!

Always happy to help.

Added the Cocobolo, beautiful knife, exceptional quality for a factory knife, great job GEC.

 

[Toddwalla]

Mine just got here! I have to say that this is one of the nicest GEC's I've handled. Light, slim, sharp, classy, a real home run.



Here it is next to a 15 for size reference

 

[Will Power]

My dealer did not get any really appealing looking stag :grumpy: So I won't get stuff I'm lukewarm over. Think it may have to be Ebony, no Tortoise seems left. If you dither it goes not hither

Wow. Beautiful.
Congratulations!

I really appreciate the comparison shots everyone. I really want to want one, but it's just too small for me.
