Great Eastern Cutlery: #66 - Equal End Serpentine

[MartyNC]

One of the sites listing the Hemlock says the pull is a 4. Should that be a concern?

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

Stag.

At least one non BF dealer had them listed yesterday.

Personally, I'm not concerned. That might change when I get mine but I'm not worried about it right now.

No. Mine's on reserve. Half my collection is stag, so I was just stating the obvious for me. Sorry if I put a bit of panic in you.

I feel ya, I keep checking my email.

Just paid for my Hemlock. I can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on it. It's my favorite yet, in pictures anyway.

Ironwood, because it's wood. #wood

Did I mention I prefer wood?

Same here, can't wait to see this one up close and personal. Love the jigging, color, and shield...

Sent you a PM, Tex.

I generally like Tidioute trim better, so the Ironwood is a natural pick for me. But that hemlock, though. My gosh, color, jigging, shield. That's destined to be a sought-after model down the road. For me...those two.

I haven't seen one that I don't like yet. It's an awesome run and every variant looks great to me. I'd get one of each if I had the freedom to splurge a little more. My favorite so far is the Antique Autumn Jigged Bone with the Canvas Micarta coming in at a close second.

If they surprise us with a 440C variant I'm in big trouble. I'd get at least two of those. Freedom to splurge or not.

My dream would be a stainless version with a punch instead of a spey. Give me Tidioute trim with a federal shield and we may be coming close to the grail territory.

Same here, I ordered mine yesterday too. The only one I'm getting out of the group.

As much as I love my DI, I think the hemlock is going to end up being my favorite too.

Likewise. It's mid July and not so much as a wip pic yet. The Hemlocks must have been the Blood Reds gone bad like someone mentioned earlier.
