Wasn't sure about this pattern because of the size, but they do look nice, so I went ahead and ordered one of the Beaver Tails. (I've been wanting a knife with that shield for a while, anyways.) The Rust Red jigged bone looks pretty good, too, but I'm pretty sure one of these will be enough for me. :D
 
Well My Beaver tail must be swimming fast to get home to Oregon :)
Looks like it should be waiting for me when I get home from work today :thumbsup:
 
I think the beaver tail makes a lot of sense on this one. I also like the canvas Micarta, but it's pretty much always good. I think it'd look good in smooth white bone also. I think I'm gonna hold out for the stag though. I don't have any stag and this just begs for thick popcorn stag.
 
The beaver (tail) has landed. I like it a lot, even bigger than I expected. Only complaint is that they chamfered the edges of the cherry wood on the sides but not tail edge of the scales Will get pics up soon!

Nice can’t wait to get home so I can check mine out .
Maybe a light sanding on the tail is all it might need to smooth it out .

Got my beaver tail today. Big knife! But it feels good. As others have mentioned the tail (ha) is a little rough. Putting a lanyard on there may limit contact as well. Otherwise it's perfectly centered and transitions are very good. Easy to pinch.

She’s a beauty !!
 
Well I just opened this baby up and beyond happy . It was hand picked for me “just saying “ :p
Blade centering dead on the money , nice snap/ walk and talk . Fit and finish is outstanding and This Brazilian Cherry is drop dead gorgeous!
This one has a smooth tail no sharp edges” although a easy fix I’m sure for those that have rough tail/butt” . It really is a fine example ! The #43 OregonTrapper pin is to cool to :)
Big Thanks to Austin not sure if I can mention my dealer but wow this knife is a keeper and feel honored to own it !

I do have a problem though and that is I planned on carrying it tomorrow but its such a perfect example I’m thinking it should just go into my collection and become a safe queen . I do have another in route due at the end of the week and wasn’t hand picked plus this one would be very hard to beat ..
Ughhhh decisions decisions
I’m still in shock how fast my first one got here . I ordered it Friday afternoon and it arrived Monday :eek:
 
My Beaver Tail arrived in the mail yesterday. I use to like carrying a 4 1/4" knife but not since I started wearing Wranglers - pockets smaller than Levis. So, after I took pictures, I sprayed it down with Rem Oil and put it back in it's wrapper and tube and that's probably where it will stay until I pass and they're going through my stuff to see who gets what.

As some of you know, I don't normally like blade etches and usually remove them but since this blade etch is pertinent to the shield and name of the knife, I left the etch as is. Nothing spectacular about the knife - pretty much run of the mill for GEC. I didn't oil the covers to make them shine for my pictures as some of you did for your pictures of the jigged Brazilian Cherry. Just took the pictures of it as it came from the tube/wrapper.

Your cherry looks lighter but maybe just the lighting . As far as putting oil on my covers I personally didn’t . Came with a very nice finish on the cherry . For carry with any of my jeans in a leather slip it carry’s small to me . Wouldn’t wear dress slacks though with this big little guy though:)
Btw yours looks great Sir !
Couldn’t fight the temptation to carry mine today :thumbsup:
