Lets talk GEC!

Did CK's early reserve include the sawcut bone or will that non-SFO be going up in a separate reserve later?

Good question as the the reservation intro just says "for all variations". If it does include the sawcut and you have a reservation, I think the best plan would be to go for either the stag or olive wood then try to get the sawcut from another dealer.

He seems to be proudly showing off his toenails, though.

Definitely think this will be an Elephant Toe 36 Pattern

It sure is starting to look that way! I am really hoping the 36 pattern is in the production queue, will be a real beauty with Ebony and ivory bone handles.

I admit, I was hoping for the same or at the very least, a single blade sheepfoot. It makes sense though in that these were supposed to be attached to the 2019 run with the single spears but it didn't materialize.

Yep it does. I threw my 77 in my pocket this morning.

I don't have any knives in antique yellow saw cut bone. All the pictures I pull up look black with a tingr of yellow towards the bolster. Is that typically the case?

I don’t have any in sawcut but this one goes from yellow to orange and brown.

Thanks for the pics.

This one is supposedly Antique Yellow, but it's got a lot of red and orange in it. When it was new, the dye would come off on my hands, it looked like I'd been handling iodine.

I don't have a coon skinner, this huckleberry will have to do.

Really hoping to be able to grab a stag and Mount of Olive on the secondary and a sawcut on the drop. These are going to be great. The Mount of Olive covers just might be the most unique/significant they’ve ever done.

I hope they make a lot of the sawcuts. It seems they made a lot of the garnet 49s so I’m hopeful.

Amazing! Jiki, you're an artist.

There is some beautiful stag appearing on the 77's!

I am on the fence between the two handle styles….Stag is my favorite handle material. The Mount of Olive covers might just be a one shot deal though…could be worth a lot in the future!

Olive wood mites may eat your covers off then it will be worthless. Don't sweat the future and go with what makes you happy today. Both are winners IMO.

Olive wood mites are bad, but nothing like Sambar stag borer beetles…….

This whole run of 77’s is a public health hazard.

Sounds like a good dilemma to be having.

If I’m interpreting knifeswapper posts in the Facebook group correctly and you are on his reserve, you can pick one of any of the covers if they are available when you’re name comes up.

Looks like they have added Cocobolo to the 77 run.
