I feel very lucky to have this one, it's precious.I keep drooling over these Toms choice knives.
Must be tough to find many GEC knives over there.Shame there impossible to find in Europe.

Thank you.it's a very beautiful knife!
There's a few GEC retailers in France, Germany and England, but prices reflect shipping and custom fees (depends of the country)Some US knife brands are impossible to find or if you do they ask a price way above the retail price. I don't have Facebook. I'll just keep my eyes open on eBay.
I can inagine and you should! As it's a very beautiful knife!

Some US dealers make an effort to send to Old Continent, but you 've got to be quick (don't even dream of a 33) and then shipping can add a few, depending of the distance to PO?
Case is an easier... case.

French customs don't care of small parcels and I never paid any fees on knives. Who knows how long will this last?think uk might have the worst on custom fees right? I know its enough to deter a lot of us from shipping overseas

They did the run of Mudbugs in the dark. Folks are receiving their knives.It's been awhile since I've seen GEC keep their cards so close to their chests. With the #33s shipped and subsequently bought up, I am really curious to see what they are working on currently and what plans are in swing for the remainder of the year. We aren't even seeing progress pics for the #35 - the shot with the "Northwoods" blade even got pulled.

That could be why the pic was pulled, once it was pointed out? And if that is the case, then the fact that those blades were there could indicate that's what they were doing next.Ah, that would make sense. Much like the Northwoods runs, they wouldn't be showing any pics of the Smith & Sons knife.
That said, if folks are getting their Mudbugs, that still begs the question as to what they are currently working on - maybe the Northwoods run?
It is hard for me to compare my 47s and my 93s . The 47s have a Wharncliffe and a Pruner blade and my 93s have a Lambfoot and a Ramfoot blade . The 47 is actually a 74 with the blade on the other side for a Reverse Curved handle . If a 47 had a Sheepfoot Blade , it could be very nice . I have never found a Wharncliffe blade to be very useful to me . To some it is . If I did not have 2 of the 47 pattern in my collection , I would try to get some . IMHO the 93s that I have are more useful knives than the 47s that I have . But I have to tell you that the 47 Pruner , and pruner blades are useful , has some of the best Stag that I own on it and I will not use it because of that .If anyone owns both a 93 and a 47 I'd be very curious to hear your comparison of the two patterns. We will probably be seeing the 47 coming out in the near future and I already own the 93, I'm on the fence if the 47 is worth going through the rat race to try and score.
