Lets start a thread shall we?

 

[TOM K.]

I can't wait to see a finished Ironwood, sure hope I can snag one!

 

[Viper84]

1000% in for as many of these I can snag.

 

[GPO MAN]

From what I hear, there’s not many of these to go around.

 

[sf fanatic]

My last one from the 2020 run.

Curious to see what natural bone they may use

Same, nothing beats a wharncliffe swayback in my opinion.

If i do get lucky Gabon Ebony Wood is my choice if not I'm happy with my Black Plum Jigged Bone

I'll probably go for the natural bone Tidioute and/or the jigged bone Northfield for sure.

Where does one track down this kind of information? Not like I have the money to try for one anyways, but a guy can still be curious

Dying for an ebony or either bone! What do y’all think, would a user 2020 burlap plus cash on my end shake one loose in a trade when I inevitably miss the drop? Love my 2020 but don’t care for the micarta anymore

google-fu great eastern cutlery, then click on "Production Schedule". Look around, a ton of great info.

Oh, I meant specifically the statement about “not many to go around.” I don’t believe production totals are ever officially released until the start of the next year?

I spoke with someone who’s getting a lot less than the normal allocation for this run.

I see, thanks.

I’m still excited to see everyone’s pictures when they start coming through. Very curious what color and jigging pattern they do on the “TBD” version. The last ones in purple were pretty cool.

Generally, that kind of insight would come from one of the dealers. There are other ways to estimate production (sometimes the photos from what's happening page will show all of the tubes for a certain run in one photo, for example). GEC doesn't typically release production numbers before distribution to anyone other than dealers.

Older run ironwood.

Back in 2016, Bill made some great Genuine Stag Vipers!! Numbers 91 and 92!!

 

[Oldy]

Does the 47 pattern generally cost a little more on release than the average release. I've noticed the after market/flippers have them priced at a heftier price tag in relation to other patterns.im starting to understand the northfield/ tedioute differences but is the 47 costing more on release.

I like the ebony wood, but, it’s still impossible for me to get one at retail, I’m not sure I like pattern enough to pay the resell markup.
