If I'm not mistaken, I believe he has an 85 Crown Lifter in Natural Cherry Bone from the exchange currently en route to the land of moose, syrup, and mounties.

I've got one - nice fat spear, dark cherry covers, whimsical bottle shield, not too big but not too small either - I say that's a pretty solid pick! 👍

Dumb me. That is what I get for not reading the whole thread. I hope the caplifter on the OP's 85 is easier than the one I had. Mine was a certified nail murderer.
 
I hope you like it, I love that cherry red bone and I hope it’s not a nail shredder like Jakeywax31 Jakeywax31 said. Also I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of love for Canadians around here!

Ahh man,you forgot about Bobby orr,there were alot of Canadians that thought he should of been with the maple leafs,but the majority of us were happy to share.how many Americans knew were Boston was before he showed up in town,now I'm sure you all know were Boston is.
 
I'm kinda hoping it is a nail breaker,I have been using slip joints as hand rehab.it was how I got hooked,the the beauty of jigged bone and stag caught my fancy.

I'm happy that you have one coming. The cherry red bone is striking. I think you will be happy.
 
I have been doing a bit of research,and my understanding is that this is the only time gec has used the cherry red bone,is that right.

I tried to warn him earlier in the thread that the nick on the caplifter is set pretty close to the liner but the pull on the one I've got is very polite - right around a 5. Both the blade and lifter feel very much like a SAK in pull weight.

For those reading ,I now have a gec,and I now have a cap lifter,I actually have both in one knife.elgato posted a link in here the evening my question was posted, he said hurry take your pick.when I pressed on the link it was for 3 gec cap lifters,the 15,an 85 and a can't remember the pattern of the other.i wasn't sure if it was serious but I said the beer scout 1st then the cherry red bone.i then went back to the page he linked and noticed they were for sale and the beer scout was gone,I then proceeded and said will take the cherry red.i was notified that I was getting the cherry red 85 but,legato didn't realize why the(elephant)was in the living room.realizing I was a fricken danm dreaded Canuck a scorn on the exchange,an old 1812er.yes I had a relative who fought in that war,but he fought with a gentleness that is seldom displayed in war time,and I can assure you most Canadians did.all out of respect for our southern friends.but after much thought I believe legato watched canadian bacon and allowed john candy to warm his heart to fellow Canadians. And I am now waiting for it to arrive.people let's be friends ,is that not what rodney king said.i have buddies in Churchill right now keeping an eye out for bad guys coming into the Port trying to make it to usa.come on were partners.so next time you put a knife for sale on the exchange watch canadian bacon first.you may want to let a canadian in.

I've heard that "Canadian Smoke" is pretty strong stuff. This thread makes me more inclined to believe it. 🤯😵‍💫🤔
 
I edited my post about the canadian fires keeping new Yorkers indoors,I thought it crossed the line into politics because I mentioned we never raked our forest(we call it Bush up here).
 
Hi oldy, I'm an east coaster and happy to see another Canuck on here. I hope you knives find you well. Let me know if you're ever looking for anything else, I have a pretty good stash built up :)
Don't mind Johnny, he's English and probably still pissed our grandparents left his behind.
 
Snodgrass that explains it about johhny.he should come as an assylum seeker and get food and lodging. I will take you up on your offer,just have to decide what to get for me wee son(that was for johhny)

FYI I helped/worked with the Canadian military in Bosnia.

I have the utmost respect for General Lewis MacKenzie and the troops out there In February 1992, MacKenzie was named chief of staff of the United Nations peacekeeping force in former Yugoslavia, tasked with supervising the cease-fire in Croatia.
 
Thank ya johnnythefox,I liked when lewis compared millitaries standing to lawyers in canadian minds.

Don't blame you,I was replying to johhnyfox about his time spent under Lewis McKenzie.who was a canadian general in Bosnia.lewis was put on trial for an incident in Somalia during the trial he told the judge that Canadians view on the military was highly positive, but that our view on lawyers was at the bottom.it got a rouse and made
front page news.

I tried sending you a pm snodgrass,but I'm out of chances.i used all my 15 on buying my cap lifter.i messaged the administration about upgrading my account but haven't heard back.
 
Well you of little faith,it is time we took down the wall that divides canada and america.but for now i am proud member of the gec club.thanks to all.and especially elgatodeacero who saw promise when others saw trial and tribulations of biblical prportions.let us move forward together and leave the war of 1812 behind.as well as the world juniors of hockey of last year.
