Cuban Madness!

A new Cuban I picked up in the Exchange a few days ago... GEC in Red Stag.

Here's a Tidioute Stockman I got a week or so ago.

Here's a Northfield Harness Jack I got some time ago.

I've got another Harness Jack coming next week. It will have a clip blade.
 
Thanks for posting Ed,:thumbup: the Harness Jack is my favorite model.
Just received another Tidioute yesterday.
 
I'd like the blue oyster acryllic and the mexican bocote, please, and thank you :rolleyes:

Great collection. I've been drooling over the blue oyster for a while now and can only find one on-line. Should pull the trigger before it goes as it looks like it is a limited run. And the Mexican bocote is just, stunning.
 
I got this Harness Jack (Horsecut Antique Bone) the other day.

This Harness Jack (Red Hangmans Bone) is on the way.

There's quite a spread of great looking knives in here!

Can anyone tell me about the springs on the GEC cuban stockman? Are they crazy stiff or what? I believe they do not have half-stops either, right?

All of the #53 patterns, including the stockman, do NOT have half-stops.

The pulls are smooth but firm, definitely NOT nailbreakers. Some might prefer them a little lighter, but to me they are near perfect.
 
the 53 rancher in stag (pics in this 3D) is on the hard side regarding the clip but it's openable
the 53 furtaker (pics in 3D) has a smooth wharnie and a good clip
the 53 baron above is still new (2-3 openings) and has to be cleaned a bit, i'ts on a 6/7-10 scale, no breaker and no sak feeling, just strong AND usable, small blades are fine but the awl IS a breaker, have to use the other hand's thumb to lever it out

no breaker for me, hard enough to be safe and enough to have your attention on the knife when opening
some cleaning and camelia oil use will make it better though, dirt is bad bad bad in this case, cleaning makes it pretty much smoother than from the factory

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I would just add my newest addition to this existing one.

Limited run without serial numbers, Tidioute #538311 in Smooth Ram's Horn.

I have seen other new releases in Bumblebee and Green jigged bone, plus Ebony and Snakewood.
PLEASE POST PICS if you have any of the other newer offerings!

That Ram's Horn #53 looks great Jeff!! I'm glad you were able to get one. I think only 11 were made...
 
I've got the Bumble Bee version on the way. I'll post pics when I get it.
 
Gorgeous knife there, Jeff!:thumbup:

I gotta quit slackin' and get me a Smooth Ram's Horn one of these days.

I like it!
 
There aren't enough pictures of user knives in this thread, so here's my contribution:

Stockman in Sandbar acrylic (I'm pleased with how the patina on the clip blade ended up managing to match the handle), and Furtaker Trapper in Burnt Sky.
 
Hello---Those are some beautiful knives. I too am a rams horn junkie, there is just something special with a beautifil rams horn handle.
