Great Eastern Cutlery: #66 - Equal End Serpentine

[Pàdruig]

Couple more in today. Really like the satin/northfield combo and both have great W&T on secondaries to boot. The SMKW SFO design package (coloration, jigging, satin, etc.) is straight out of my great great grandfather's pocket!!

Stellar shot! Couple of beauties.

Nice shot, hunter!

Thanks, appreciate comments Pàdruig and black mamba and joeradza

These Desert Ironwood SFOs arrived today. DI is such a beautiful and lively wood!
It's not wildly grained - more subtle - but very pleasing!!
I am going to hone one, and safe-queen the other, but which one?

 

[007hunter]

Tough decision waynorth , both are beauties!!

 

[black mamba]

I'd safe queen the top one . . . seems just a wee bit nicer to me.

I agree

 

[Pàdruig]

A gorgeous pair waynorth ! I think I agree with black mamba though, the top one has a very pleasing grain to it.

LOL. I always pocket the good one, and safe queen the lesser one. Live every day like it's your last.

Gather ye rose buds while ye may!

This is actually why I no longer even buy doubles of any knife.

They did a super job with shields on this run. I hope it continues on other runs. I just saw the tortoise acrylic and it's topped off with another nice classic shield. Well done GEC

I agree, Jake. This has been one of the most interesting runs in awhile. You may have helped steer them on the shields... that is, if they read this forum and I believe they do.

Hah! When I moved the blades around to scan the pile side, I switched positions!
I am going to use the top one in the top pic!
Thanks for the sound advice folks!

Now that is some nice grain.

What's the word? Chatoyance?

 

[joeradza]

Just paid for the tortoise shell, only the stag is left for me.

 

[lamco3]

Just ordered the tortoise shell also, but this ironwood is outstanding.......

 

[texmex03]

So what does everyone feel is the pick of the liter, ironwood, dark chestnut peachseed or hemlock?

 

[Ramrodmb]

Gotta see them all first!
