That #46 Bear Claw Jigged Bone has some seriously deep jigging! 
That's a very attractive knife.

I'd be picking one up if I hadn't maxed out with upcoming run of 15's.

Definitely a good lookin knife!My first knife by GEC and if I could only keep one it would be this one
Aye
The result of a great collaboration project too. Design by GEC and Derrick (KSF), with a convex primary grind by Bark River
Would love to see some more patterns given that treatment!

Confirmation From the #48 Master 2Dead:
"Ah, I wasn't aware of the barehead requirement... I believe GEC only made the Tidioutes bareheaded and I only have the Tractor Green one. These are among the least expensive GECs you can get and have been much cheaper than many of my CSC. Another barehead GEC made are the ones they made as Scagels but those will be higher priced."

Yep, the Scagel Fruitports were made by GEC on the #48 pattern. At the time, only the Scagels and the Tidioutes were bareheaded. Since then, GEC has made the 2 blade #48 Woodcock (bird knife) and the Northwoods Hawthorns as bareheaded knives as well. There were a couple short runs at last years' Rendezvous that were bareheaded as well.
