Looks like a White Owl. I used to have one in ebony, very handy size.

Nice purchase!

The Lady and Gentleman are Christine Tucker and Pat Vroman. Chris is Inside Sales and Office Magician at GEC and Pat is Purchasing Agent,Scheduling,Shipping,and probably at least a few more things. Both are Good People.

Very nice. I have a couple White Owl's in stag. They can be had with either a clip or spear blade, yours appear to be spear (which I prefer on this model).

The 68's are great knives to collect and carry, I've got a few myself. Check out this thread Vance, it's got a lot of great pics.

Nice knife and pic Vance. Spent a few minutes at the G.E.C. booth to thank them for working with us on the last couple of forum knives and hopefully the next one too. Great people with some really nice knives. They had something for everyone. A lot of cool, unusual handle material in many patterns.

Yes sir, the Tidioute 68's have un-pinched bolsters while the Northfields are pinched.
