Hi everyone,
This morning had a very good start to it indeed!
There was a knock on the door, and a package was delivered to me that had arrived the Friday before..but was by mistake delivered to the gent over the road...( he forgot about it untill this morning
)...anyway...a long wish has been granted, and look what was inside when I opened up this box!!
First before anything...thank you, thank you ..I would like to thank the forum member who sent this to me and just simply blew me away...I would very much like to name him.... he knows who he is...and Sir...thank you...I most sincerely mean that.
This forum is without a doubt one of the beter things in life that I have come across...things that teach a person what it feels like to be humble, seeing others help their fellow collectors out with advice...and a continuous slight ribbing makes this very much ....the better place to be.

Folks....I would like to introduce to you my awesmome GEC Serpitine Jack
After sitting down a bit overwhelmed...heres what I took in...check it out..
After seeing everyone showing us their new GEC'S...I knew...I just knew that these knives would be this good...oh man...thank you again to this very generous forum member....
The Stag on this knife is simply beautifull..the fit is nothing short of supurb...NO gaps, the feel between those lovely Bolsters and Stag is a continuous smooth flow........
Choice of Stag just couldnt be better, Stag... then burnt gives you this ....
As you can see...the thickness of the Stag ( to me ) is great...nice and thick..yet this knife feels so good in the hand..
Here is another shot, I like the Jack's blades...this knife is the un-serialed model, Carbon blades...a little stiff to use - as it should be ( yet no nail snapping )..so very nice, and of course...the use will soften this from being real nice to awesome! , the more use this knife has had just today...already the snap is crisper!! ( or is that just me?)
I realy like those Bolsters...whats the name for these? - as they are beveled at the end, threaded & angled...a real smooth knife....
One last shot in the garden before it got to work in my kitchen....
Cutting up of the apple wasted no time in working on the blades...I didnt let it sink in too much...there will be plenty of that later.
If you are thinking of getting a GEC...I cannot find one reason as to why you shouldnt...this knife is a keeper, and Im hoping that my grandson will look at me fooling around one day ( I havent got a grandson yet-but my daughters think Im slightly spastic the way I drool over knives ) and I will see a glimmer in his eye when he sees me me handling this very knife!
Take care everyone, and thank you for putting up with my rave
