I've liked big singles and opposite enders for sometime and just happy to have both clip and a spear blade model.

No problem Jeff, I can always write GEC. Thanks for responding!
 
Ever since the two bladed big jacks were released in desert ironwood ( I think 2017), I have longed for a single spear cigar pattern in dessert ironwood. Yes I was trying to track down the Boker version. Patiently waiting/hoping that GEC would ever release this, and then this manifested. Absolutely beautiful!! Checks all the boxes for me, outstanding GEC!! The pull is a hard 7-8, I have total confidence in a knife with a strong pull. The honeymoon will be longer with this one.

The “T.K.” In the T.K. Cuban name is for Terry Kifer. Brother of long time GEC dealer, Gary Kifer of Kifer Cutlery. I’m not sure exactly why it was named after him, but Gary shared that info after his brother passed a couple years ago.

Thanks for the info. Ms. Howard of GEC confirms that the "TK" in TK Cuban stands for Terry Kifer who "really, really wanted that knife made". I for one am glad he did.
Have a great day. :)
